Views icons and buttons

All views share a set of common icons and buttons.

Views toolbar icons

Each view has a toolbar that enables you to perform different operations on the view, these operations may differ according to the WebSphere® Portal security permissions. A view can have one of three modes: configure, view and edit. The icons in this toolbar may be present in one mode and not in the other depending on the security permissions.
