Build workbook with queries or views?

[Former Member]

What's the criterium to choose between queries or views to build a workbook.

The workbook consists of the same query in different navigational states.

Is for example performance when using views in a workbook better compared to queries in workbook.

A view is only a step of navigation of a query, it's exactly the same thing than putting a query in a workbook and changing the output.

I prefer using queries instead of views, because I remember in the old times that views were not refreshed by default, when opening then by the BEx.
