Identifying the view used on a list or form

A View is a saved version of a personalized form or list. It defines which fields appear on the form or list and in which order. Views enable users to quickly display the same form or list in multiple ways. Administrators can create any number of views for a form or list. If a view is not displaying properly, remove the spaces from the view's name. For example, if the name of the view is view X update the name to viewX.

Switch between list views

A form or list inherits the previous view selected when accessing the object from the latest user session. When switching to a view other than the Default view, it is specified in brackets on the form or list.

A view defines the elements that appear when a user opens a list. A logged in user can switch between list views to which they have access.

1. Open the list.
2. Select the view to configure by performing the appropriate action for your list version.
