Symptom

When viewing a list of Activity views in Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011, views may display as having a duplicate. When navigating to Settings, selecting Customizations, and selecting Customize the System, this displays the default solution. Then, select Entities, choose the entity where the duplicate view is displayed and select Views, the full list of views for the system will be displayed. The duplicated views will have a description tag of "(to be used asynchronously)."

Cause

The views at some time had the querytype value modified. This could have been in the current system or had been updated during an import of customizations from a separate environment. The querytype value in the customization.xml file will display as a 0 instead of 1024.
