You can create views to organize your tickets into lists based on certain criteria. You can manage your views by editing, deleting, or deactivating them as needed. You can also share a link to a view with other agents.
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.
To edit a view from the Views management page
- In Admin Center, click
Workspaces in the sidebar, then select Agent tools > Views.
- Click the name of the view you want to open for editing.
- Modify the title, conditions, formatting, and availability as needed.
- When you are finished, click Save.
To edit a view from the views list
- In Support, click the Views icon (
) in the sidebar, then select a view.
- Click the Actions menu in the upper right, then select Edit view.
- Modify the title, conditions, formatting, and availability as needed.
- When you are finished, click Save.
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
- In Admin Center, click
Workspaces in the sidebar, then select Agent tools > Views.
- 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.
To delete a view
- In Admin Center, click
Workspaces in the sidebar, then select Agent tools > Views.
- Click the Inactive tab.
- Hover your mouse over the view you want to delete, then click the options menu icon
(
) and select Delete view.
- Click Delete view to confirm the deletion.
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.
To share a link to a view
- In Support, open the view you want to share.
- From your web browser address bar, copy the URL to the view.
You can now share this URL with other agents.

Hi i would really like to have a kanban view I assume there is a big request for that and it shouldn’t be that hard plus it has lots of benefits
Thank you
Hi,
Any plans to add support for nested views or view categories?
I see that you already did Trigger categories recently. Why not do something similar for Views as well?
I'd really like to be able to look at a ticket and see which views it should appear in. Is there any way to do that, or is it on the roadmap?
Is there a way to have a Kanban board view in Zendesk without having to add an external party? As IT Ops, Net Ops etc are becoming big I would be really surprised if this is not a common ask.
I'm needing to audit all views and who they are available to. Is there a way to export the views list?
Thanks, Dave, for your thoughts. I use macros so the language is the same on each ticket. The problem is I want to put these task reminders in one view and get them out of another view. I'll try the tags and see if that works.
Did you try - To export a view to a CSV file?
Hope it helps
Is there a way to persist the filters or a way to predefine them via a url?
Is there a way to include fields in a ticket view that come from Apps? E.g. we use the Aha app to transfer product requests to our engineering team, and we want to be able to report the Aha ticket number and status in the Zendesk ticket view. Possible?
/mike
Not directly, but if you have access to audit logs, you should at least be able to see what the changes were so you can manually edit the View back to its previous state: Viewing the audit log for changes
Hello,
Is it possible to create a view for an SLA breach of 30min?
Hey Karen,
Can you confirm you set these up as shared views and not personal views? In some cases you may need to do a complete browser refresh for the changes to take effect. Are you still experiencing issues with the correct view not showing up?
Let me know!
how can you show more than 10 views
I need to schedule view to share the exported data to distribution list. is it possible?
Hi Mike,
You can add a custom drop-down field as a colum in your views. Unfortunately, fields from Aha app are not supported at this time.
When you open or access a ticket, there's currently no option to see which view it would appear in. You need to go to the actual view page to see the list of tickets captured on it. We understand the benefit of having this feature in your workflow. I encourage you to create a new post in the General Product Feedback topic in our community to engage with other users who have similar needs and discuss possible workarounds.
Hello Paulo,
The "Agent tools" menu is visible to the administrators of the account and to some agents whose access has been enabled to it by their admins. It's possible that your role doesn't have permission to view any of the options under this menu hence you are not seeing this in your account. We recommend reaching out to your account administrator to request access.
Why the option "Agent tools" it's off ?
I'm afraid that additional filters added on the spot do not persist in views. The only way to do that, is to edit the view itself, and then save the changes so they propagate persistently. Then, change it back when you finished.
Best,
I searched on our Marketplace but I didn't find any app to do that.
The workaround to quickly move all your "Meet any of the conditions" to "Meet All of the conditions" will be to create a script using the Zendesk API:
Hope it helps a bit.
Hi Aaron,
There's no option to sort tickets in View by (e.g.) "Hours since Group change"; probably the closest you could get would be to create a View showing tickets for a specific Group, and sorts them by Last Update.
How would I organize the view by the time it was moved to the group?
if I disable the default views and add 12 of mine own, they do not show,. why is that
Nicole S.,
Just to let you know, there is no, More button at the bottom of my list. I have Manage Views, which I have clicked on, but it is for Managing Views.
Hello Stefan,
There are view conditions that are related to SLA that you can use. These are:
Please see this article for more information: Creating views to manage ticket workflow
The condition is only for hours, Hours until next SLA breach. Hence, the lowest that you can designate is 1 hour.
There is currently an active feature request to see additional views, if you would like to add your voice and vote to that request, you can do so here: Views Limitation
Thank you.
Can you explain how we can make a view for unassigned Incidents, placing the ones with the highest priority and oldest creation time at the top? Now if this is possible, how can we use the result of this view into a dashboard as a widget?
Hi, Is it possible to display the Requestor's Email address instead of the Requestor's Name in a view?
Only possibility I can see for now is the have a custom field created with the customer's email address and then use this field within the view.
Thanks
Kanban functionality isn't built into Zendesk natively. Have you seen the Ora App integration? https://www.zendesk.com/apps/support/177649/ora/
Why can't I add tickets to Views by subject? I can sort by other criteria but not by subject.
