Find Referring Views

We can find out and go to the view that your current view was created in, and her’es how:

  2. Right click on this view.

  4. The “Go To View” window will appear.

The Go To View window will list the view that our view was created in, by selecting the view you can click the “Open View” button which will open the view that our view is located in.
