View and criteria set usage rules

Usage rules specify whether a view or criteria set can be used with a database and, if it can, whether the function uses the view or criteria set specified by the user or a composite view or criteria set created by adding the view or criteria set’s selection information to the static or dynamic template.

When a composite view or composite criteria set is used, the template is used to format database segments into their individual fields. Otherwise, the view or criteria set is used to format database segments into their individual fields.

You can specify one set of rules for when the function generates a template for the database and another set of rules for when it doesn’t.
