Each metadata repository contains a view.yml file (See Understand the Project Metadata Repository content).
This file contains all the view settings for Dataflow Modeling and relationship Modeling Views.
View file details
After creating a view, the file should look like this:
views:
- id: '4a8e7fad-371b-4c37-b6a2-b888aa244f20'
name: 'Datapipe View 1'
description: 'Default view for data pipe.'
type: 'data-pipe'
default: true
modelObjects:
- id: 'bec44444-a68b-46d2-92f4-0df397235d39'
- id: '1b9a7c18-a331-441c-bb02-fa7e53b3fab1'
- id: 'ad072640-8f00-4df1-9f47-46b811c3de44'
.......
- id: '49c32b06-6568-40a2-9e10-864e43a76775'
name: 'Customer Order View'
description: 'Default view for data model.'
type: 'data-model'
default: true
modelObjects:
- id: 'b42bed10-f102-4598-b08e-7398c6382faf'
x: 183.5
'y': 58
collapsed: true
- id: '031d2740-c077-4ef9-a4f3-2f47d457c96d'
x: 577
'y': 59
collapsed: false
..........
The different nodes contain:

| views > id | View's ID (GUID format) | 4a8e7fad-371b-4c37-b6a2-b888aa244f20 |
| views > name | View's name | Datapipe View 1 |
| views > description | View's description | Default view for data pipe. |
| views > type | View's type: can be data-pipe (Dataflow Modeling) or data-model (Relationship Modeling) | data-pipe |
| views > default | View's default flag - is set to true for the two default views created during project creation | true |
| views > modelObjects | List of Model Objects in the View | - |
| views > modelObjects > id | Model Object internal id (GUID format) | b42bed10-f102-4598-b08e-7398c6382faf |
