Cross company view

I need a cross company view of some table. (For reasons)

I read somewhere on Microsoft docs that a view cannot be cross company. Is that correct? (I tried finding my source without success.)

If I am correct, my second question is:

2) Why is that property available? For reference: On the node View Metadata there is a property Allow Cross Company.

Then I solved this apparent issue by creating a view, ViewA of QueryA with TableA as root datasource. Then I created a cross company query of ViewA, ViewAQueryCrossCompany. And then a view of the last mentioned query. Is there a "better" solution? (As I created two views and a two queries of TableA, just to get one View.)

I am new to Views, very limited experience..... (Yes I have read the Microsoft docs page.) So maybe I'm not getting something. And maybe my question is "wrong". The point is as I mentioned in the first line, I need a cross company view of tableA.

Thanks for reading
