Create a Custom View

You can create an unlimited number of custom views for the Library and control the following characteristics of each view:

• Selection and order of the data columns in the view
• Sort order of the documents in the view
• Selection of documents in the view

Note: Custom views are not Library-specific and are available in any Library.

After you create a custom view, it will appear in the View toolbar list.

Note: You cannot create a custom view for the Outline Editor; however, you can manually customize the Outline Details View.

If you modify the configuration settings (column selection/width and sort) of any active view outside of the View Editor, your changes are automatically saved in the view definition. For example, if you define specific columns to appear in a view, then activate that view in the Library and remove columns, those changes will be reflected in the view definition the next time you edit it in the View Editor.

Multi-user Considerations

A custom view is specific to the author who created it. It will not appear as a choice on the View toolbar list of views for all authors.

Also note that the Developer provides sample custom views in the multi-user environment for displaying documents by owner, state, check out status, and so on.
