Create, edit, and delete a view

A view is the filter, sort, and column display state applied to the item list on the Content screen, saved together. Once saved, you can bring the list back in the same state the next time you open the screen or when you switch from another view.

Views line up as tabs. Choosing a tab shows the list in the state saved in that view.

Only Owner and Maintainer can create, edit, delete, and reorder views. Writer and Reader can choose an existing view from the tabs and use it.

Create a view

Saves the list’s current state as a new view.

1. Under Models on Content, choose the target model.
2. Set the filter, sort, and column display on the item list. The steps are in Set the display and filter conditions for the item list.
3. Click Save as new view.
4. Enter the View Name.
5. Click OK.

The view you saved is added as a tab, and that tab becomes the selected one.

Overwrite a view with the current state

Saves the list’s current state over an existing view. Use this when you have changed the filter conditions.

1. Choose the tab of the view you are overwriting.
2. Change the item list’s filter, sort, and column display.
3. Click the more actions icon (vertical …) on the tab of the view you are overwriting and choose Update View.

The view’s name stays the same, and only the saved state is replaced by the list’s current state. Even after switching tabs and coming back, it is shown in the overwritten state.

Rename a view

1. Choose the tab of the view you are renaming.
2. Click the more actions icon (vertical …) on the tab of the view you are renaming and choose Rename.
3. On the Update View screen, rewrite the View Name.
4. Click OK.

Reorder views

Changes the order of the tabs.

1. Grab the tab you are moving and drag it to where you want it.

Delete a view

Deletion cannot be undone

A deleted view cannot be restored. The filter, sort, and column display settings saved in that view are gone. The items shown in the view are not deleted.

Deletes a view you no longer need. You can delete one when that model has two or more views.

1. Click the more actions icon (vertical …) on the tab of the view you are deleting and choose Remove View.
2. On the confirmation screen, click Delete.

The deleted view’s tab disappears, and another view becomes the selected one.
