Copying an enterprise view in MSP (2003 or 2007) vs. non-enterprise view

Is there only one "enterprise" view in MSP - Enterprise Gantt? Is
that what I need to copy to make a new enterprise view?

Thanks,

Here's a technique you can use to create a new enterprise View for Project
Professional:

1. Open any current project Read/Only (this prevents you for accidentally
changing it).
2. Click View - Table - More Tables.
3. Select a Table that contains some of the columns you want and click
Copy.
4. Give the new Table an original name and add/remove the list of columns
until you have what you want.
5. Click OK and then click the Apply button to test the new Table (change
column widths here as needed).
6. Click View - More Views.
7. Click the New button and then click the OK button.
8. Give the new View an original name, select a Screen, your new Table,
plus the Filter and Group you want.
9. Select the "Show in menu" option and then click OK.
10. Click the Apply button to test your new View.
11. Assuming the new View looks the way you want, click Tools - Enterprise
Options - Open Enterprise Global (do NOT close the current project).
12. Click Tools - Organizer and select the Views tab.
13. In the lower left corner of the Organizer dialog, select the Read/Only
project in which you created the View (the Enterprise Global will be on the
right).
14. Copy the new View from the left side (Read/Only project) to the right
side (Enterprise Global).
15. Click the Tables tab, and on the left side, select the new Table you
created and copy it to the right.
16. Click the Close button.
17. Save and close the Enterprise Global.
18. Close the Read/Only project without saving it.
19. Exit and relaunch Microsoft Project Professional and connect to Project
Server.

You will now be able to see and use the new View with any project. NOTE:
The above process avoids accidental "pollution" of the Enterprise Global
file with non-enterprise Views. Hope this helps.
