Custom views – building a dashboard for ourselves

1 min read

Why do you need Custom views? Let’s say you need the ability to build a dashboard for a specific case. For example, where you only see clients from a certain portal, or where there is a specific set of fields. Of course, you can do this through the main dashboard, but:

  • if many people work in the company, the dashboard will keep getting reset
  • if I use the dashboard for different cases, I’ll constantly have to reconfigure it

But if there are custom views, everything becomes much simpler:

  • I create a view based on the chosen dashboard (for now only a table) and name it as I like
  • I configure it (filtering/sorting and hiding or showing columns)

And then I work with this view without touching the main dashboard. And I can create as many views as I (or anyone else) need.

How to add a new custom view? #

1) Go to the desired dashboard (for example, Portals).

2) Click on the Custom views option.

3) Click on Add new view.

4) Next, specify the name of your new view and a description, if needed.

Next, you can customize your custom view as you like:

  • add fields or hide unnecessary ones
  • change sorting and filtering

It’s important to note that these changes will not affect other views or the main dashboard.

Editing a custom view #

Click on the 3-dot menu to open the menu of the current custom view. Here you can:

  • Rename the view
  • Duplicate it and create a new view based on the current one
  • Delete the view (except for the default view)
