 Each //view// is firstly characterised by a selection or filter for the different dimensions such as regions, activities, items or scenarios. Secondly, a pivot is defined which maps the data base dimension to viewport dimensions, such as the columns or rows of a table, or the regions shown in a map. And thirdly, it defines the view type: a table, different type of graphs or a map. Fourthly, views may comprise links to other views, similar to the concept of hyperlinks in WEB pages, which allows a "drill-down" like exploitation from general to specific aspects, or vice versa. The hyperlinks can also be used to refer to tables with supporing information. And lastly, the view may comprise supporting information as e.g. units used for specific elements or long text descriptions. Each //view// is firstly characterised by a selection or filter for the different dimensions such as regions, activities, items or scenarios.

-But the user maintains his freedom: he may tune the view to his own needs, by adding his own selections, change the pivot or the view type. Equally, fonts, color, cell sizes or properties of the graphs may be set by the user. His personal settings can be stored for future session. And finally, the mapping viewer allows for rather flexible classifications and coloring options. The details with examples are discussed in a chapter of the [[https://www.capri-model.org/docs/capri_documentation.pdf|CAPRI documentation]].+But the user maintains his freedom: he may tune the view to his own needs, by adding his own selections, change the pivot or the view type.
