Perspectives are used by SQL Reporting Services as data sources. It's how Ax integrates with SRS

Hello,

Briefly -
Prior to 3.0, there was only one system available for setting up security and configuration of Ax. This system was called feature keys. If I remember correctly there were hundreds and hundreds of feature keys existed in good old Ax 2.5.

The feature keys were replaced by security and configuration keys in Ax 3.0.

I hope this helps,
