The Synergetic development team have developed views from the Synergetic database tables to make querying the Synergetic database an easier process.

...

Note: New views are created and released during each Synergetic update. See What's new to Extracting data.

Tip:
Views are listed in alphabetic order in each topic. If you are using Synergetic Online Help you can also find a view by typing its name on the Search tab. In the example below, vCommunityAddresses is found in two topics.
