Smart Views

Use this feature in FACTS inquiries to help you quickly access the views you use most. With smart views on, FACTS tracks which views you use most often and places them at the beginning of the View menu and the view bar.

The system determines your favorite views by tracking how many times you hit (or select) a view.

Tip: You must be in a view for at least five seconds for it to count as a hit. That prevents FACTS from mistaking views that you quickly flip through as favorites.

When Smart Views are on, FACTS prioritizes your favorite views in this order:

1. Views you marked as favorites in the View Preferences window.

2. The number of Smart View hits in descending order.

3. The view order set in the SMVIEW Developer’s Tool by your local FACTS Affiliate.

To use Smart Views:

Click Options>Smart Views. To turn Smart Views off, click Options>Smart Views again.

Click Options>Reset Smart Views to remove any previously stored hits and start over.
