.NET Unifier iView
As type of .NET iView, a Unifier iView retrieves specified data from a Unifier project. The data extracted from a Unifier project can relate to a variety of business-related situations, based on a unifier project, but the .NET iView adds functionality that the Unifier iViews cannot provide, such as interactivity or projection of retrieved data in an alternative format. For example, it can display the iView as a graph. Unifier iViews are coded in XML — they support Drag and Relate and are displayed in the portal's style theme.

NPV is a standard method for financial evaluation of long-term projects.
