Create and Manage Views
Customize your Clients with Views that support every step of your business process. Keep your team in sync, move clients and projects through their lifecycle efficiently and save time with bulk actions.
Note: The default CRM term is 'Clients' but this article applies if you have switched to other terms, such as ‘Students’, ‘Jobs’, ‘Opportunities’, etc.
What Are Views?
A view is a custom client list, organized by criteria like status, tags, and pipeline stages. There are two types of views:
- Preset views are default views in your CRM, designed to fit typical business needs. They can’t be customized, edited, or deleted, but can serve as a starting point.
- Custom views are created by the business using existing or custom information to meet specific needs, like a sales pipeline or project stages.
Use Cases for Views
- Sales pipeline: Build views to track leads in the sales funnel and ensure timely follow-ups.
- Service life cycle: Create views to manage clients at each service stage.
- Client buckets: Organize clients with similar needs to streamline communication and improve service.
- Tag-based views: Tag clients to simplify management and prioritization.
Tip: Use clear labels like “Leads to Contact” or “VIP” for quick access.

Important: Role-based permissions may limit visibility of some client page elements, like views, filters, and columns to ensure data security and relevance.
