Views & Filtering

Save entry filters and table columns, choose a default, and export the result.

A view is a saved query plus an ordered set of columns. The current view drives both the Entries table and CSV export.

Create a view

  1. Select New View.
  2. Give the view a name.
  3. On Filters, add or edit a reference filter.
  4. On Table Columns, add references and drag them into order.
  5. Save.

New views begin as New View with no columns and no filter. Configure both to make the list useful.

Filter criteria

The reference picker starts at the form’s entries collection. Build a reference filter using answer fields, system properties, metafields, and supported relationships. This uses the same typed filtering language described in References & Data.

Remove the current filter to show all active entries. Complex criteria, ordering, and selectors are expressed in the reference rather than separate quick-filter controls.

Columns

Select + Add Column and choose any available scalar reference, including:

  • Entry ID, status, created/updated/submitted timestamps
  • Form answers
  • Metafield answers
  • Other supported resolved values

Drag columns to reorder and remove those you no longer need. Resolved labels become the table and CSV headers.

When no configured labels are returned, the table falls back to ID, Status, Created, and Updated.

Default view

Select Set Default on a non-default view. When the entry page first loads, it chooses the default view; if none is marked, it uses the first returned view.

The default view is marked with a star and cannot be deleted from the view controls. Set a different default before removing it.

Manage views

  • Select a pill to switch views.
  • Use Edit to rename it or change filter/columns.
  • Set a non-default view as default.
  • Delete a non-default view after confirmation.

There is no duplicate-view button, personal/private view scope, separate sort-order editor, text-search box, date quick filter, or status quick filter in the current interface. Saved views are account resources, so use clear team-friendly names.

Export exactly what you see

CSV export runs the selected view filter and uses its configured column order and labels. This makes a purpose-built view the safest way to create a repeatable report. See Import & Export.

Data Tables use the same view model for rows and columns; their editor additionally provides an All Rows selection.
