The Synergetic development team have developed views from the Synergetic database tables to make querying the Synergetic database an easier process.
The views contain links between several base tables, that include related information that can be used in similar queries. The information can be from single fields or generated fields.
Links (or joins) can be made between several views and base tables but sometimes the linking process can be difficult. Contact Synergetic Management Systems if you want to request a field to be added to an existing view or you require assistance with joining tables.
Details on the views are provided in two sections, based on where the primary data is sourced:
Note: New views are created and released during each Synergetic update. See What's new to Extracting data.
Tip: Views are listed in alphabetic order in each topic. If you are using Synergetic Online Help you can also find a view by typing its name on the Search tab. In the example below, vCommunityAddresses is found in two topics.
