What are perspectives and views?

Within the rich client user interface, application functionality is provided in perspectives and views.

• View — The basic display component that displays related information in a UI window.
• Perspective — A collection of one or more views and their layout.

Some applications use a perspective with multiple views to arrange how functionality is presented. Other applications use a perspective with a single view.

You can use the HiddenPerspectives preference to prevent the display of some Teamcenter perspectives in the rich client.

If your site has online help installed, you can access the application and view help from the rich client Help menu.
