I suggest you create a View, Table and Filter (if required) all with the same name and use them together and adjust them in the same way as one would adjust a Layout in P3.
Unfortunately MSP does not give you the option of saving changes to a View in the same way as P3 so any change to a View is written to the database as soon as it is made. You will find this very frustrating, like many other things in MSP after coming from P3.

Hello Philip,
I hope the following may help you:
1. Click View->More Views->New View or copy existing layout view and do some modifications to suit to your requirements.
2. Tools->Options->Calculation(Tab)->Set calculation mode to Manual(instead of Automatic)
Cheers!!!
