Views
"Views" is a collective term for all the different options you have for seeing raw and processed Events information in the ArcSight Console's Viewer panel.
The Console's Viewer panel can display event information in several formats and is readily customizable. Views may be customized to best reflect an enterprise and can be organized in a hierarchical structure with drill-down functionality. There is a list of chart-format views in addition to grids, maps, and dashboards.
