How manually edit View.xml file if a view gets deleted?

Hello! I was wondering if there was any suggestion/guidance on how to edit the View.xml file if a view was deleted. The problem is that a view might get deleted but isn’t noticed until some time later and other changes in the surveyor structure have already been made, so unfortunately grabbing a previous Views.xml from the recycle bin would not work.

  1. Do the entries in the file need to be in order based on the IDs of the views.
    1. For example, if you are trying to replace a view that got deleted that had an ID of 10 does it need to be inserted into the file between items with IDs 9 and 11?
  2. Is there a requirement in the file structure associated where/when <view> entries need to be started on a new line or appended to a current line.
    1. Upon inspecting different files on different systems it was noticed that sometimes the view entries (starting with tag<view>) are started on a new line and sometimes they are appended to the end of a line

Hi Luis,

1. Entries in the views.xml do not have to be in order.

2. There are no requirements about the newlines before, in, or after the <view> tags.

Do note that view names and IDs have to be unique so make sure that no equal ID or name exists already when inserting a new <view> tag manually.
