Saved views

A saved view remembers how you set a table up so you do not rebuild it every time. A view is yours alone until you share it with your company, and the address bar carries whatever you are looking at, so a copied link opens the same table for a colleague. Saved views are available on the LCA groups list and the locations list. Each list keeps its own set — a view saved on Locations appears on Locations.

​

What a view remembers

Nothing else is stored. Column widths, pinned columns and row density are remembered per browser rather than on the view, and the page you are on rides in the link. Changes you have not saved are kept in your browser too, for the table and the view you are on, so leaving the page or refreshing does not throw them away — the dot stays on the tab until you Save, Reset, or switch to another view, which takes the slot for itself. A link still wins: open one and you see the filter and sort it carries rather than your own unsaved ones.

​

Build and save a view

1. Open the LCA groups list, or the locations list. The tabs above the table list every view, starting on All, which is the layout the app ships with.
2. Narrow the rows. Type in the filter bar for a quick match across the table, and press Enter to keep it as a chip; typing the value of a column such as PCR also offers that value as a filter. Use the funnel on a column header for one field, or the funnel at the start of the filter bar for several conditions at once. Each condition shows as a chip in the bar, and the footer counts the rows that match.
3. Click a column header to sort by it. Click again to reverse the direction.
4. Reorder or hide columns from the Display menu. Row height sits in the same menu but stays with your browser rather than joining the view.
5. As soon as anything differs from the view you are on, a dot appears on its tab and Reset and Save as new view appear after the tabs. Click Save as new view, name the view, turn on Share with everyone at <your company> if your colleagues should see it, and click Create view.

The new view is selected straight away. A personal view appears as a tab for you alone; a shared one appears for everyone in your company. Saving is offered only once something differs from the view you are on — there is nothing to save while the table matches it.

​

Change or discard a view

Adjust a saved view the same way you built it, then choose:

• Save writes your changes onto the view.
• Save as new view leaves the original alone and creates a second view from what is on screen.
• Reset throws your changes away and puts the view back the way it was saved.

To delete a view, select its tab and open the menu beside it, then choose Delete and confirm. A shared view goes for everyone in your company, and the table falls back to the default view. Save and Delete are offered to whoever created the view, and to owners and admins. Anyone else sees Save as new view and Reset only, so a shared view cannot be rewritten out from under the team that relies on it. The default view is never saved over, so it has no Save.

​

Share a view with your company

A view starts personal. Turn on Share with everyone at <your company> when you create it, or later select its tab, open the menu beside it and use the switch on the same setting. Turning it back off makes the view personal again; colleagues who had it open fall back to the default view. That menu is the one Delete lives in, so sharing and stop-sharing are offered to whoever created the view, and to owners and admins.

​

Share what you are looking at

Copy the address bar and send it. The link carries the view you are on plus any filter or sort layered on top, so the recipient sees the same rows in the same order even if you never saved. Two exceptions: a personal view opens as the default view for anyone but you, so share it first; and hiding or reordering a column only travels once you save it onto a view.
