# Create a database view

Create the database view.

## Before you begin

Role required: admin.

## Procedure

1.  Navigate to **All** > **System Definition** > **Database Views**.

2.  Select **New**.

3.  Name the view as you would name a new table.

    The application converts capital letters to lower case and spaces to underscores.

4.  Provide a label and a plural.

    The **Label** and **Plural** fields define how the database view is labeled in lists and forms. For example, give a database view with the label Duplicate installation the plural `Duplicate installations`.

5.  Provide a description of the database view so that other users know its purpose.

6.  Select **Submit**.


## Result

The database view is created and accessible from the **Database Views** module.
