The AR System allows you to create your own custom view of each schema. Your customizations can include changing the physical layout of your view and changing various field and active link button properties, such as the field label, location, and length. Your custom view characteristics are saved in a file named <ar_config_dir>\<schema_name>.arv and can be exchanged with other AR System users by copying the file.
When you customize a view, the system keeps a copy of the previous version of the view so that you can restore it if necessary. You can also restore a view you have archived (see Restoring Previous Views). You should always save valuable views in backup files.
Note: Not all users have permission to customize their views of a schema. If you do not have customize permission for a schema, you will receive an error message telling you that you do not have permission to customize the schema. You can use a view created by another user by copying their view file into your configuration directory, but you cannot create a new view yourself.
