View definition
You can apply search conditions directly to a view. The view definition is similar to a template that can be used to populate the search conditions when searching.
It is no longer necessary to separately configure view definitions. You can save the configured search conditions as a view definition as required.

and open the same dialog box, the only exception being the name on the title bar.You can use this dialog box to configure the search conditions from which to search the messages. You can save the configured search conditions as a view definition, or select a view definition from which to populate the search conditions.

After you select a SMAT file, the view definitions that are defined in the SMAT file are listed on the definition list of the Import View Definitions dialog box. Select a view and then click to import.
During importing, the view definitions may have name conflicts with existing files. When this happens, a message dialog box opens where you can decide whether to overwrite the existing definitions or cancel the import. The imported view definitions are shown on the view definition list.

A confirmation dialog box opens before you can delete a selected definition.
Reloading a view
Click
to reload the current view. The same view is kept if there are no changes to the file. If there are changes, then this updates the message count. Then the search criteria are applied to the new messages if the file has new messages since the last open.This option reloads the same file, keeping the same view (search expressions, files, and so on). It also automatically moves the view to the last message.
This is useful if you are in a testing scenario and must repeatedly send a message through the interface to test code changes.
It is also useful to watch messages as they flow across the interface. For example, a message is sent every few minutes. You can click
and see the new messages without having to reselect the file and reload the messages.
