Immediately see/view the backend generated views without the need to close and reopen the database. Could that be achieved?

Will it be possible to immediately see/view the backend generated views without the need to close and reopen the database. Could that be achieved?


Scenario is have tried creating the backend view - "BACKENDVIEW1" from the button present on the view.


Method1:Button code
Dim session As New NotesSession
Dim ws As New NotesUIWorkspace
Dim uidb As NotesUIDatabase
Dim db As NotesDatabase
Set db = session.Currentdatabase
Dim view As NotesView
Set view = db.createview("BACKENDVIEW1")

The backendview "BACKENDVIEW1" is unable to show it in the application default navigation as shown below Image1

Refer Image1


You need to close and REOPEN the database to see the backend view - BACKENDVIEW1 as shown below Image2

Refer Image2


Method 2: tried embedding this view in the new form and compose that form in the front end also does not show the backend view immediately. We have to close the database and reopen it to see the backend view.

The same behaviour has been observed in the Mail file as well.

Needed to be considered in the future release of the product
