Not until after it is confirmed. Once it is in your History, you can see the unit code, which probably implies the view for e.g. Marriott resorts, but not certainly.

Even when the conformation gives you an indication of a view category, it may not be guaranteed that you’ll actually receive that view. Many timeshare operate on a points based reservation system where owners in that system can book any view available. Owners within a system are given preference over exchangers.
Anytime we’ve exchanged, I always set my expectations low. If I get a view then fantastic. But if I get a low floor dumpsters in the parking lot view then it’s not a big surprise.
Because views are important to us, we own in systems that provided us with the best opportunity to get a view we enjoy and we typically stay within those resort groups. However we do exchange out every now and again. When we do, we always accept that we’re the lowest priority and accept what we are given.

If you call and get the right person at Interval I have been able to get them to give me the code before making an exchange. They won't tell you the view since that is not guaranteed they are not allowed- but I have gotten them to tell me the code before which i think looked up myself on the very help code sheet.
