I been creating several login levels and each level sees same thing but when they add and such the list of choices are different for each level. It would be nice that when you create a view that you can copy that view and it copy all the values with it for field selection and such. It would save a huge amount of time having to retype in the field names, which fields show up and such. Then you can just go back and make the small changes for that level.

Here is some other ideas.
Have it where you can create a view and it be blank, add up all your fields and sql statements and then go to the visual editor and have a totally blank screen where you can create your own view. You can create a template and just upload that file in the layout file and be able to pull it up. it would not be list or such. I have some special screens that I need to create for official formats that match physical forms the customer has.
Now I have to really modify the view file to make it what I want. But it be easier starting from a clean slate.
Also you might want to have only one record showing at a time and they people can arrow thru the records.
Maybe you want to customize a special search and place it at the top. In the search you might want to have multiple set search values for people to choose from and then those records come up (either one on a screen or use the list feature).
I know you can create a few and sql statement for each but it be nice to have it where you have the option to provide many options and they only have to be in one screen to get them.
Does this make sense?

Kim,
we plan to add an option to copy all settings while creating a View. Probably this is what you looking for.
