How to Delete a Custom View from GSX Gizmo

You are enjoying GSX Gizmo but you may have created a custom view for testing or temporary purposes and it is no longer relevant.  Deleting a custom view is not directly available in the UI yet, so it is performed by connecting to your GSX Gizmo database and removing the associated CouchDB documents containing the view.

Follow this article to learn how to delete an unwanted custom view from GSX Gizmo.

GSX Gizmo 1.0. up to 1.0.3

  1. From an internet browser on the same network as GSX Gizmo, navigate to:
