A view is a predefined set of criteria you can use as a basis to search for content.

A view contains just the content you need to work with. Because a view is a subset of all content that is tailored for you, the view can hide dozens, hundreds, or even thousands of results that might otherwise clutter your search results list. Views display only the columns you need to see or work with, including custom property columns. In addition, your view is customized so that the appearance, name, and width of columns fit your needs.

A view displays a set of results that are arranged according to the content you wish to create for your users. Views can include any of the following components:

  • A condition forms the part of a view or filter that controls which items, containers, or tasks are returned in a view.
  • A filter is an optional component of a view that serves as a saved search which narrows the view results.
  • A column layout defines column order, sorting, and appearance for a view or a filter.
  • Statistics are calculations such as the maximum, minimum, and average of all the values in a specific column.
