Manage the views in your library

A view is a page which displays a set of documents from your library. You can define the properties and filters to sort the documents. These filters can be based on the nature of the library, workflow states or other settings that may be relevant for users.

This article explains how to create and organize your views:

Access the views in your library
Create or clone a view
Modify a view
Delete a view


Read Configure views for details on how to set the parameters for a view.

Important:
When creating a document class in a Document Management library, a view “All documents" is created by default.
When creating Team Folders and Secured Folders libraries, a document class “Document” and a view “All documents” are created by default.
“All documents” displays the documents in the first class created.
