lotus notes creating new view but getting all documents of the database

Question

I am new in lotus notes.

In an existing application i want to create a new view. So i created the new view and put it in the main -Views folder. i copied from blank. The formula selection is SELECT @all. Then in the design of the view i placed 2 columns with 2 fields(updateDate and updateText) these are from a new form that i made. But now if i save and preview my View it takes a long time to index and when done i see 0 documents but i can click on every row. And if i click on a random row then it will open a random document which is in the database.. as if the view populates the whole database. And i don't get the form document where i got the fields updateDate and updateText..

How come?

Answer 1

Since the view selection formula SELECT @all, the view selects alle documents from the database.

So you need to change the view selection formula to for instance select documents based on the form used to create them:

SELECT Form="MyNewForm"
