You need to know your back end views and then any possible custom views that combines back end view. We haven't done so yet. Possibly take statistics, sermons, preachers, and series, because these statistics are taking only t58he downloads, whereas preachers has in them a field called hits. Sermons also have a field called hits. When someone opens one, without downloading it necessarily, so does series's.

We could possibly add an extra custom back end view called "analysis." In "analysis" we can use the Dynamic Get option to get data from all those tables.

That would mean that it is now dynamic and no longer directly connected to the database. [00:11:38](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gEgwiVNj6N0&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h11m38s)

### Analysis View Used To Get Data; Mapped Fields

These above views won't have an edit view. There will be a single view displaying rows of analysis data from multiple back end database tables. This can also be done on the front of the site. [00:11:59](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gEgwiVNj6N0&list=PLQRGFI8XZ_wtGvPQZWBfDzzlERLQgpMRE&t=00h11m59s) We can put this whole Get Feature under Get and we can give it a name, calling it Get Analysis.
