Introduction

Users can apply certain filters for a report and then save the selected parameters for future use as a view. This feature is available only for Analytics reports in the platform.

A view can be saved and marked as the default view for a report. When a user wants to apply a saved view for a report, they can just select the view and apply it to the report. All the filter options and selected parameters will be applied to the report automatically based on the selected view.

When a view is marked as the default view, the next time a user opens that particular report, the default view will be selected and applied by default. Users can change the default view or delete an existing view.

The advantage of using views is that users don’t have to set filtering options for a report every time they want to view it. Based on the saved views for a particular report, users can select one and then view the report.
