### Virtual elements in views

Virtual elements can be defined in views or projections like this:
```cds
entity SomeView as select from Employee {
// ...,
virtual virt1 : String(22),
virtual virt2 // virtual element without type
}
```
These virtual elements have no relation to the query source `Employee` but are new fields
in the view. Virtual elements in views or projections are handled as described in the
section on [virtual elements in entities](#virtual-elements);
