Because when we look at data views it's it's common to think of using them just for reporting. And actually data views are used in a lot of different places. And so by creating this well structured, well thought out strategic, grouping of data views, you're actually doing a lot more than just reporting. You're gonna have a lot more capabilities, at your hands. So let's look at some other places that we can actually use data views.
And this isn't a a full list. They're actually used in lots of places, but some of the key ones are with group syncing. So you can take a data view and sync, the results of that data view into a group. Metrics can run off data views. Lava entity commands actually can use data views to do their filtering.
A lot of the analytics blocks will take a data view too to further filter down the people and the results that you're looking at. So attendance analytics, giving analytics, there's a person directory. So it's just basically a list people and have some capabilities there about grouping with families and that's gonna be able to also use a data view. Group requirements are a huge use of data views to determine whether someone meets a group requirement or not. And there's also a heat map block that can use a data view to show you where people live based on that data view.
Again, is a very, short list. There's actually data views are used in lots of different places. So just kind of reemphasizing though that you want to invest into creating those data views and, doing so will pay dividends in the future.
