Attributes and Elements

The following sections describe attributes, child elements, and the parent element of the View element.

Attributes

Attribute	Description
ID	Required attribute. Represents the identity of the element. To learn how to identify your element in a management pack, see Element Identity and Namespace Conventions.
Comment	Optional attribute. Represents commentary by the management pack author.
Enabled	Required attribute. Defines whether or not this workflow is by default enabled or disabled.
Target	Required attribute. The ID of the targeted class type.
TypeID	Required attribute. Represents the ViewType definition of which the view is an implementation.
Visible	Optional attribute. Defines whether or not this view is visible to the user. Default value is true. The user can set the value of this attribute through the console.

Accessibility Attribute Values

Value	Description
Public	Indicates that the module type definition is visible to external management packs.
Internal	Indicates that the module type definition is not visible to external management packs.

Child Elements

Element	Description
Category (View)	Required element. Represents the category name of the view.

Parent Elements

Element	Description
Views	Contains view type implementations in a management pack.

Text Value

Some ViewType definitions define configuration parameters. The view that implements the view type must supply the parameters in XML format. See the second XML sample in this topic.

Remarks

When you define a view against a targeted ClassType element, the view will display all discovered objects of that class type in the view. The format of the user interface depends on the ViewType definition.

For your view to be displayed in the Operations console, you must define a Folder element to contain it. After defining the Folder element, you then must define a FolderItem element to associate that folder with the view.

A display string for each view should be defined in the display string section of the management pack for at least one language. For more information, see DisplayStrings.

Example

The following sample illustrates the implementation of a view type whose ID is Microsoft.SystemCenter.InventoryViewType. To view the view type definition, see ViewType. This particular view targets all System.Computer objects in the system and will display all of them in columnar format in a single view.

Below the view definition are the definitions for the view’s Folder element and the FolderItem element.

<View ID="System.Views.InventoryView" Accessibility="Public" Enabled="true" Target="System!System.Computer" TypeID="SC!Microsoft.SystemCenter.InventoryViewType" Visible="true">
   <Category>Operations</Category>
</View>
…
<Folder ID="System.Views.ViewFolder.Root" Accessibility="Public" ParentFolder="SC!Microsoft.SystemCenter.Monitoring.ViewFolder.Root" />
…
<FolderItem ElementID="System.Views.InventoryView" Folder="System.Views.ViewFolder.Root" />

The following sample illustrates the implementation of a view type that can take some configuration parameters that serve as query criteria for alert notifications. The definition of the view type is below the view element.

<View ID="Microsoft_Exchange_Server_Alerts" Accessibility="Public" TypeID="SystemCenterLibrary!Microsoft.SystemCenter.AlertViewType" Target="WindowsLibrary!Microsoft.Windows.Computer" Comment=" ">
  <Category>Operations</Category>
  <Criteria>
    <ResolutionState>
