While in the testing  process for the upcoming release of the 0.7 version of the MFG, I was actually amazed to see how well rather complex views could be generated.

I tried to make it as difficult as possible, by created lists with the MOSS Gui, and then creating complicated views. When I say complicated, I mean complicated to make, without the use of a generation tool. With the MOSS Gui, creating a Gant-view or conditional rendering is easy.

Most notably, I generated the following views:

• showing all columns(default view)
• sorted on two columns
• filtering based on two columns
• group by two columns
• showing totals of a column, paging and a different style
• calendar
• datasheet
• gant

showing all columns(default view)

sorted on two columns

filtering based on two columns

group by two columns

showing totals of a column, paging and a different style

calendar

datasheet

gant

Now, that all seemed to work quite well. On the downsite, I also tried to generate a KPI-List, but this didn't function. Lists created with the generated template missed the content types to generate KPI's from, and the option to enable content types was not available. I'll have to look into this.

The above tests were run with an intermediate version of the 0.7 release, but since the code was not changed on this respect. I think it should work just the same with the 0.6 release. If you do find any problems, bugs, missing functionalitity, please notify me, at my mail adres, or post them at www.codeplex.com\mossfeaturegenerator
