Aggregation Pipelines

Create a View from Pipeline Results

To quickly access the results of an aggregation pipeline without having to run it, you can create a view on Atlas. Views are read-only, so they can help keep your data secure by limiting user access to a predefined set of results.

About this Task

Creating a view does not save the aggregation pipeline itself.

Steps

1

In Atlas, go to the Data Explorer page for your project.

  1. If it's not already displayed, select the organization that contains your project from the Organizations menu in the navigation bar.

  2. If it's not already displayed, select your project from the Projects menu in the navigation bar.

  3. In the sidebar, click Data Explorer under the Database heading.

    The Data Explorer displays.

Note

You can also go to the Clusters page, and click Data Explorer under the Shortcuts heading.

2

Click the Save drop-down button

  1. Select the collection.

  2. In the aggregation pipeline pane, click the Save drop-down button and select Create view.

3

Enter a name for your view

The view name must be between 6 and 1024 characters long.

4

Create your view

Click the Create button to create your view. Atlas creates a view from your pipeline results in the same database where the pipeline was created and displays saved views with the icon.
