Saved views
A filter and sort combination saved under a name, shared by every user, and what a view survives when the data beneath it changes.
A view is one table's filters and sort, saved under a name. If the free-text search box held anything at the moment it was saved, that is saved too.
Views are shared by every user. Everyone sees the list and can apply a view; only an administrator saves, updates, renames or deletes one. That is the same split that governs column order, and for the same reason — the filter that defines how a team reads a table is the team's decision. A view nobody else would recognize by name is a personal preference, and that is ordinary filtering.
Saving
Filter and sort the table
The save button stays disabled while there is nothing to save, and says so: an empty view would apply nothing and look broken.
Open the views menu and choose Save the current view
The menu opens from the bookmark button in the toolbar.
Give it a name
The name is what the team will see in the list. It is stored as written and is not translated.
Applying replaces, it does not merge
Applying a view replaces the table's whole state: a filter the view does not mention is cleared. Applying the same view twice therefore gives exactly the same table, and what you see is what the view describes — not what the view describes plus leftovers from whatever was on screen before.
The name of the applied view stays on the button, so a filtered table is never left with nothing saying what filtered it.
What a view survives
A view holds the values as they are displayed in the column, not internal codes.
| What changes | What happens to the view |
|---|---|
| A column is hidden or removed from the table | The view keeps working; the filter on that column is skipped |
| A column is renamed | No effect |
| The wording of a value inside the column changes | The filter stops matching anything |
Update, rename and delete
An administrator hovering a view's row gets three actions: update the view to what is on screen right now, rename, and delete. Deleting asks for confirmation and states plainly that the view is shared by every user — what is being deleted is not only yours.
Clear filter and sort, at the bottom of the same panel, returns the table to its initial state, including the free-text search box.
