Saving or Discarding the View
If you make any changes to these settings, a green “Save As” button will appear in the upper-right, in the same bar as the “View” drop-down.
Click this to save the view and give it a name. The view will now be listed in the “View” drop-down.
If instead, you wish to discard the changes, you can do this by clicking the “Down-arrow” next to the “Save as” button.
Managing Existing Views:
If you have at least one saved view, when you expand the “View” drop-down you will see them listed with the original view.
Alongside each view, you will see an “options” icon (three dots “…”). Clicking this will open four options:
- Set as Default: make this view apply automatically when the summary page loads.
- Duplicate View: make a copy of the view with the same settings.
- Rename View: Give the view a new name.
- Delete View: Remove the view from your list.
There is also an ID number for the view in this menu which you may be asked for when seeking support for a view.
Editing and Saving an Existing View
If you make changes to an existing view with it applied to the page, you will see the “Save” button in the upper-right. Clicking this will save your changes over the selected view. If you wish to revert to the saved state, click the “down” arrow next to the button and choose “discard changes”.
As a new feature, this functionality is not available to Legacy or Pro accounts. If you see any of the described elements appear as orange, you will need to upgrade to use them.
