Default View

The default view is not used directly but serves to specify the default parameters for views in the system. You can configure the default sorting order and the default list of columns.

Later, when you create a specific view, you’ll have the option to configure it to use Default Sorting and Default Columns instead of specifying the same column list and sorting order in each view.

To modify the default view:

Click the Setup link in the top right corner of the window.
Choose the necessary table and click the corresponding table name in the menu on the left side.
From the menu in the main frame, select Views / Reports > Set the default view. The system will open the following form:
With the help of the form options, you can reorder, add/remove columns, and set the default sorting for the Default View:

Default Sort

From the Sort by list, select the column by which the records should be sorted. In the order by list, specify the sorting order: Ascending or Descending.

Available Columns

If some columns should not be displayed in the Default View, you can remove them from the Selected Columns field to the Available Columns field. As a result, they will never be displayed in the Default View. For example, there can be some formula columns helping to calculate values for the other columns, and you don’t want to display them. So you can remove these columns from the default view.

Selected Columns

All columns included in the Default View are listed in the Selected Columns field. Moreover, there is the Include in views by default checkbox in the General Properties of any column. It duplicates the Default View settings. The checkbox will be checked/unchecked if a column is added/removed from the Default View.
