Save and personalize List Views

When you set a filter on a list and you want to keep the filter for later, you can save it as a view. For more information about filtering lists, see Setting Filters on Lists.

If views exist, the Views group appears at the top of the filter pane. Views are variations of the list that is preconfigured with filters. You can define and save as many views as you want per list. The views will be available the next time you open the list, from any device or browser.

To save a view

1. Open any list page.

2. Select at the top of the list or select Shift+F3 to open the filter pane.

3. Set one or more new filters. For more information, see Setting Filters on Lists.

4. When you set the filters, choose the icon.

   If you set a filter for a list view that is already saved as a view, the existing view is updated when you save.

5. If you're saving a new view, enter a name for the view in the All (Copy) box, such as "Items I own".

6. Select the Enter key or move the cursor from the text box to accept the name.

If you don't give it a name, it's named All (Copy).

To rename or remove a view

1. For the view that currently displays the list, choose the icon to see which options are available.
2. Choose either the Rename or the Remove action.

Managing Many Views

As the number of views on a page grows, you might need more control over how views are presented in the filter pane. With the Personalizing banner, you can hide unwanted views or reorder your views to get the perfect sequence. For more information, see Personalize Your Workspace.
