Answer: View will work on the logical files level. To define additional selections - a filter can be added to an existing logical file or a new logical file will
be created by
View.
Each Group Type in View creates a new library to keep the View created definitions. View created definitions are actually a new logical file per selection.
When adding a new selection to the existing logical file or create a new one - the overhead will be the same in both cases. View will keep only one definition per selection.
The decision to create a new logical file or use the existing ones should be made by the customer, depending on the requirements.
