Example

The following example illustrates a collection of View elements contained by a Views element. The first view, "Summary," displays a sequence of paragraphs. The Query element specifies not only a sort order (in order of modification date), but also a filter (only show items whose Expires property is greater than or equal to today’s date).

<Views>
  <View Type="HTML" Name="Summary">
    <ViewBody ExpandXML=”TRUE”>
      <![CDATA[ <p><SPAN class=DocTitle>
            <ows:Field Name="Title"/></SPAN>
        (<ows:Field Name="Author"/>, <ows:Field Name="Modified"/>)
        <ows:Limit><Field Name="Body"/></ows:Limit>
        </p>  ]]>
    </ViewBody>
    <Query>
      <Where>
        <Geq>
          <FieldRef Name="Expires"/>
          <Value Type="DateTime">
            <Today/>
          </Value>
        </Geq>
      </Where>
      <OrderBy>
        <FieldRef Name="Modified"/>
      </OrderBy>
