What is a view? 

Views are a recurring element that accompanies most apps; think of them like filters designed for the current app you are using. They can let you find an account you're searching for easily and quickly, as well as organize them to suit your needs.

Views can be found in the Radar, Accounts, People, Plays, and Tasks apps.

  

Types of views

1. System Views: views built into the user interface that cannot be changed.
2. My Views: displays all accounts assigned to you. 
3. Team Views: views that can be shared with other users.

You can add views for Accounts, People, Plays and Tasks.

1. Navigate to the bottom of the view panel and click the blue plus button.
