##  Views
Views define how data is grouped and scoped across the architecture executive dashboard and KPI drilldowns. You can apply inventory filters to each fact sheet type used for calculating KPIs:
  * Initiative
  * Business capability
  * Application
  * Organization


Views serve as a first-level drilldown for KPIs, allowing you to create custom perspectives on data. They're especially useful for defining pragmatic, scenario-specific slices of data, like specific regions, defined teams, or particular business units. You can configure views for specific purposes, apply them to different KPIs, and keep the user interface clean and uncluttered. This approach helps intentionally scope data, enhancing relevance and actionability across various KPIs.
When you open the dashboard for the first time, no filter is applied, which is known as the default view. You can create custom views and arrange them into groups based on your needs. After configuring views, they appear in the **View** list in the upper-left corner of the dashboard. You can also adjust the default view by customizing filters.
