- Visibility of all indexes is based on admin-created roles and permissions.
- You can delete or decommission user-created indexes.

Didn't understand, where can we view the schema in that page, am I missing something ?

- Visibility of all indexes is based on admin-created roles and permissions.
- You can delete or decommission user-created indexes.
- You can view the schema of each view and see views in search autocomplete based on your access.
- You can save a query and reuse it later by adding `| save as <view name>` at the end of your query.

this is not something we would want to encourage. Users should use saved search instead. We want to reduce the usage of adhoc data ingestion imo

| Data Source | Description |
|:--|:--|
| **Scheduled Views** | Predefined views that run on a schedule and store aggregated query results to an index. This is the default selection when you open the Views page. |
| **Scheduled Searches** | Saved searches configured to run at a specified frequency and save results to a view via notifications. |

We can perhaps hyperlink to their dedicated page ?


### How to check the system limits for views in your organization?

Administrators can view existing system limits for each view type and the amount of consumed quota directly from the Views page. The default limits are 1,000 views per organization across all types, 500 scheduled views, and 50 for all other view types. To request a limit increase, contact your Sumo Logic account representative.

not sure of this, if you are aware fine, else let me know if I should cross check


The Views page displays three data source types: **Scheduled Views**, **Scheduled Searches**, and **Adhoc Searches**. Scheduled Views is the default selection when you open the page. A single view can have multiple data sources contributing to it, and all contributing sources are visible in the right-side details pane when you click a view.

no need for this since it's identical to the title

The Views page provides a unified interface to discover, filter, and manage all your views and their associated data sources in one place. It replaces the previous Scheduled Views page and consolidates all view types, including scheduled views, scheduled searches, and adhoc searches, into a single listing under Data Management.

  • Pls capitalize and bold if referring to the UI element/buttons, etc.
  • ad hoc is always two separate words
