### Details

This method is an alias of [scheduler.setCurrentView](api/method/setcurrentview.md) and works identically to it.

- The names for default views are 'day', 'week', 'month'. To specify any other view - use its  <b>name</b> parameter.
- The method invokes  the [onBeforeViewChange](api/event/onbeforeviewchange.md), [onViewChange](api/event/onviewchange.md).
- The method is similar to [updateView](api/method/updateview.md). The only difference between methods is that [updateView](api/method/updateview.md)  **doesn't generate any events**.
