Explanation:
The program window opens in the Backstage view when a user starts Microsoft Office Access 2010
without opening a database. The Backstage view is a full-screen user interface model in which
commands related to managing MS Access and Access database are arranged in the form of buttons
and pages. The File tab in the upper-left corner of the program window displays the Backstage view.
The Backstage view allows a user to create, save, and check hidden metadata or personal
information. It also helps in discovering and using the features that are not related to the authoring features on the Ribbon.

properties. The data can be filtered according to fields. When the PivotChart view is opened, a blank
work area is displayed and the columns of the table are displayed in the Chart Field List window. A
