We're getting near the end of all the Views options: the third column, labeled Advanced. Unless you changed the default setting in the Views settings page, this column looks empty, as the Advanced column is a fieldset that defaults to closed. Open it up, and there are quite a few options. Contextual filters and relationships were covered in Chapter 4, Contextual Filters, and Chapter 5, Relationships. This chapter will cover the rest of the advanced fieldset. Some settings are relatively straightforward, such as putting exposed filters in a separate block and the machine name, administrative comment, and CSS class. Others, such as aggregation, caching, and the query settings, are definitely advanced settings that most users will likely never need but can offer powerful enhancements to those edge case requirements.

Overview of this book
Learn how to build complex displays of content—all without programming.
Views were used on more than 80% of all Drupal 7 sites; now they are part of the Drupal 8 core. While most site builders and site owners are aware of views, they don't understand how to take full advantage of their power to create many amazing pages and blocks. If they use views, they might build 10 different view displays with different filters, without knowing that a contextual filter would require only a single display.
Using our sample company, we'll take its existing content and evolve an ever more complex and powerful website for that company, starting with adapting the administration the user sees and moving on to making complex pages of information for site visitors.
While the book is written for Drupal 8, the similarities between Views in Drupal 7 and 8 make this a useful reference for Drupal 7 site builders also.
