DocsView configuration options
There are several ways to manipulate records within a table, and each method has a different appearance. You can define views for each table in your database, allowing you to control the fields, records, and other settings that appear in the view.
Overview
Customization options are available at the top of each view. Your customizations for field display are saved for each view, so you can have different preferences for your data without affecting all your Views. Each modification to the view is saved, so you can easily refer back to it.
You can change the order of views inside a table. Drag another view to the top of the view list so it’s the first view and then that view will be loaded by default. Note that if the table is shared in a team, it will be re-ordered for everyone.
The following options are covered in the view bar:
- Export view
- Duplicate view
- Webhooks
- Rename view
- Delete view
- Filtering view
- Importing a file
- Sharing view
- Row coloring
Filter a view
To make prioritization easier, use filters to apply single or multiple criteria to tasks. Filters allow you to show rows that apply to your conditions.
Because views work with rows in a similar way to how they work with tables, filtering a view discards records rather than deleting them. Simply choose one or more filters to sort your table by. For example, you can select a due date and a priority to see only tasks on your most important projects that are due soon.
