Views in Intelligence Central
A view is a query. When you access a view, the query is executed and the data is retrieved on the remote source. TIC views can be private, public, or shared with a list of users you specify.
Note: This feature is available in the Toad Data Point Professional edition only and requires access to a Toad Intelligence Central server.
