Contributor (or a.k.a. or rebranded to TM1 Application Web) only supports public views and subsets.
Please place all requests for help in a public thread. I will not answer PMs requesting assistance.

This is not 100% true, only 99% :)
If you change the default views by reorganizing the layout, and close down the Contributorwindow, in the background the last state of the view is saved as a private view and next time you open up the node, your last state will be opened.
But otherwise you really cannot save down private views from there

We have a default view.
But I want to show a private view in contributor.
Is it possible. ? Or I have to convert private view into default view.?

I have an issue with one of my client. Whenever user change the layout of the view (i.e., swap rows and columns) in TM1 Applications Web (Contributors) and close the application, the next time they will re-open the same view it still show the Default view.

Looks like the applications doesn't recognize the last state of the view. Is there a parameter to change or a value in a Control Cube I need to change ? Do I need to change something in Performance Modeler ?

We are using PA 2.0.6 Local.

Thank you and have a nice day !

1. Are you sure that the user opens the same workflow node?
2. Check the DATE\namespace\User\YouCube}vues\View_Name_With_GUID_and_node_name.vue. Does it exist? If so, is it THAT view made by user (you can open in in Architect or just analyse using notepad)?

PS thats MY signature! ;)

Yes, I did the following:

1. Open my TM1 Application using a 'test account'.
2. Click on a specific node in the workflow
3. Take Ownership and change the view.

At this point, I see nothing under \Data\AD\test account\CubeName}vues
However, I see a random newly created folder in \Data\AD\test account\Sandbox as well as a new file named sandbox.namemap in that same folder.

4. I close everything, reopen the same application/view by using the same workflow node and I still see the default view...

When I look at some user, sometime the file is created but they still only see the default view :( It used to work but we did a lot of modification, changed a lot of things in the Web Applications (change view layout, change view name, etc...) and after we redeploy last week, user are always seeing the default view no matter what..

What browser do you use? Have you tried another? There was an error with IE years ago: the views didn't save with it.

What do you mean by "change the view"? If you just select filters, it's not a trigger to save the view. You should drag dimensions between rows/columns/filters

Just try upgrade to 2.0.9.1. The 2.0.6-2.0.9.1 fixlist is huge. There is a chance that your case is an issue and it is already fixed.

Sorry if it was not clear.. Yes swap columns with rows and move columns into context, etc...

I will suggest my client to upgrade to 2.0.9.1. The weird part is now it's working in PROD but it's not working in Dev..

Thanks a lot for your answers Elassar, it's really appreciated !

An upgrade from 2.0.6 to 2.0.9.1 fixed the issue.

Thanks again Elassar.
