Study views define how to extract data from the PKS. Most commonly, views are specified to extract a subset of data (columns or rows) from the currently selected study. More complex views can be created to extract subsets of data from multiple studies.
Study views provide critical information necessary to reproduce datasets as they exist over time, and they provide for more granular status tracking of dependent analyses.
