Editing a view

You can edit and clone views. Cloning a view creates a copy you can modify and use for other purposes. If using custom roles, agents will need to be permitted to add and edit personal, group, and global views (see Creating custom agent roles). Agents will receive an error message if not given the permission.

You can edit an existing view by modifying the title so that it's categorized into a folder structure in the Agent Workspace. See Categorizing your views.

Deleting and deactivating a view

You can delete or deactivate a view if you no longer need it. Deleting it means that it's gone and can't be retrieved. You can instead deactivate views. Deactivated views are listed in a separate table on the Views page and can be reactivated if needed.

To deactivate or activate a view

2. Hover your mouse over the view you want to deactivate, then click the options menu icon () and select Deactivate view.

   The view is moved to the Inactive tab. To reactivate the view, select it from the list of inactive views and select Activate view.

If you decide to permanently delete a view, you must first deactivate it as described above.

Sharing a view

You can share a link to a view with other agents. Normal access permissions based on the availability set for the view apply to the users who click the link.

You can now share this URL with other agents.
