Attaching views

Sometimes you need to connect several views – perhaps based on unique permissions or perhaps to improve functionality and layout in a way that blocks might not permit.  With Views Attach you are able to link together multiple views – assign permissions per view, as well as pass along arguments and exposed filters… We use these in many places on our site for things like glossaries as well as to link our blocks to our page management dashboards.  This is a brief tutorial on how and when to use attached views…

A look at a view attached to another view

NB from the video – don’t forget to check your permissions – if “Access All Views” is enabled for a given role it will override the permissions within the particular view
