Are Views Materialized?

Hi, just wondering whether views are materialized (and only updated when underlying data is changed) or whether the view logic is executed each time the view is used.

Thanks

    Hi James, when a user opens a View (or a View is loaded in a Dashboard), the list of Actions (listed in the column on the right) is (re)applied to the data that the View is mapped to. If the underlying data has not changed then Data Studio might be able to use cached data to progress this.

    Ok thanks. I have a poorly performing view, I think sending the results to a snapshot is a better approach.
