Private view

A view is a part of Resco mobile apps that displays lists of entity records. App administrators can design views for the users using Woodford, but app users can also create and manage their own custom views directly in their apps.

Creating a private view

1. Start the app and on the home screen, select an entity, for example, Contacts.
2. Switch to a different view and select Advanced Find.
   
3. Click the first line (Save As) to rename your view.
4. Click the second line (bold entity name) to modify sort order and additional actions.
   
5. Use the additional lines to define filtering conditions.
   
6. Save the view.

Managing private views

To manage private views, go to the Setup section of your app and select Appearance > Private Views. All your private views for all entities are listed here, and you can clone, delete, edit, or rename them.

Disabling private views

Woodford administrator can disable private views via Configuration. On the UI tab, set List > Allow Advanced Find to false.

Sharing private views

Private views are user-specific and cannot be shared.

Internally, they are saved in the resco_usersettings entity. This entity is not meant for direct editing. In theory, the records could be cloned on the backend; the copies assigned to other users.
