View Management¶
Views save your grid configuration so you can quickly switch between different ways of viewing your data.
What is a View?¶
A view captures:
- Visible Columns - Which columns are shown
- Column Order - The arrangement of columns
- Column Widths - Custom column sizing
- Sorting - Sort column(s) and direction
- Grouping - Row grouping configuration
- Filters - Applied filter conditions
- Pinned Columns - Left/right pinned columns
View Types¶
Personal Views¶
Private views visible only to you. Use these for your personal workflow preferences.
Shared Views¶
Team-shared views visible to all project members. Useful for standard views everyone needs access to.
Default View¶
One view can be set as the default. This view loads automatically when you open the project.
Creating a View¶
- Configure the grid to your desired layout
- Click the Save View button in the view selector
- Enter a name for the view
- Choose visibility:
- Personal - Only you can see it
- Shared - Everyone in the project can see it
- Click Save
Best Practices
- Use descriptive names like "Wall Elements by Floor" or "Cost Summary View"
- Create shared views for common team workflows
- Keep personal views for your individual preferences
Loading a View¶
- Click the view selector dropdown in the toolbar
- Browse personal or shared views
- Click a view name to apply it
The grid will update to match the saved configuration.
Editing a View¶
