Configure focused view as default

In focused view, sellers can view and manage their CRM records and their associated activities on one page. This view makes it easier for sellers to stay focused on their tasks, saving time by eliminating the need to navigate through multiple screens. It also allows sellers to better organize and prioritize their tasks.

Note

Focused view is not available for the Activities entity.

Configuring the focused view as default is allowed only for the contact, lead, account, and opportunity entities. Also, if you want to configure focused view as default for custom and other entities, see Configure as default for other entities.

You must have the System Administrator or similar security role to perform these configurations.

Prerequisites

Before you configure focused view, ensure that the focused view is enabled for your organization.

Configure as default for contact, account, lead, and opportunity entities

By default, focused view is enabled for the lead entity. However, to improve the experience and eliminate the need for manual switching to the focused view, you can configure focused view as the default view for contact, account, and opportunity entities for all users.

To configure focused view as default, follow these steps:

1. Open the contact, lead, account, or opportunity grid.

2. Change to focused view and in the work item section, select More options > Settings.

3. On the Settings pane, select Default view.

   

4. Turn on the toggle to enable focused view as default for the required entities.

5. Save and close the settings pane.

   Focused view is now set as the default view for the selected entities.

Configure as default for other entities

To configure and enable focused view as default for custom and other entities, follow these steps:

1. In the app, select the Settings icon, and then select Advanced Settings.

2. On the navigation bar, select Settings > Customization > Customizations > Customize the System.

3. In the solution explorer, under Components, expand Entities, and then select an entity. For example, Invoice.

4. On the Controls tab, select Add Control.

5. In the Add Control dialog box, select Focused view, and then select Add.

6. Read-only grid is the default option, so when users select a table from the site map, they see a read-only grid of invoice. To make the focused view the default view instead, select the corresponding Focused view option buttons.

   

7. Save and publish the configurations.

Focused view is now set as the default view for the selected entity.
