A company can use Logical Views to customize the presentation of a sales and distribution report for specific roles, such as sales analysts and financial managers. Logical Views alter the appearance and highlight or hide data based on end-users' needs, including row and column adjustments, as well as adding labels, colors, and overlays. The report's content remains unaltered; only the appearance transforms for different roles or purposes when you apply one or more Logical Views to the same report. You can also convert the report with the applied Logical View into an Excel document for further analysis.

Logical views do not alter the original report.
