Add categories (subviews, dropdown view) function to Views
已于 2021年2月09日 发布
PLEASE VOTE IF YOU NEED CATEGORIES (SUBVIEWS, DROPDOWN VIEW IN VIEWS
Currently, the first 12 shared views are accessible in the Views list. Which might not be enough if you need more subviews/categories.
I will provide examples of the categorized Views and then explain the benefits of it.
Examples of the categorized Views
In our case, we have multiple brands added to Zendesk.
Each brand has different categorized Views, based on:
- Channels
- Language
- Topic (usually filtered by tags which work on particular keywords)
- Help Center submit forms
These first-level categories can be also categorised in their subcategories. For instance, Topic can be categorized in:
- Access issues
- Subscriptions
- Refunds
This is how our Views look in one of the apps from the marketplace (14 brands are connected here):
Depending on the product, the brand View might have multiple subfolders within it.
This is how our View of the categorized brand looks like:
So, here one brand View has multiple categories with 4 depth category levels.
Why is it beneficial to categorize?
- It helps to onboard agents faster when you allow them to start familiarizing with the product by topic;
- Some products have agents who work only with one topic, thus helping to improve efficiency.
- It helps to analyze tickets from the help centre easier when we can dedicate agents to work only with the tickets from the help centre.
- It helps to categorize tickets by issues, which require special attention from more experienced agents.
- Categorization by language also allows choosing the agents with skills needed for the language or the specification of the market.
- Agents can migrate to provide help to other products based on category.
Since Zendesk has a categorization option for macros with :: which allows creating multiple category depth levels, the same functionality could be implemented for subviews option.
Additional to it, the same function of ordering (as trigger categories) could be used in Views too. 
p.s.
We, of course, could use the third-party app but currently, it lags, has quite many glitches and not everything gets along with Zendesk (has not enough consistency).
Let's see how many of us need it, give a vote if you feel a lack of it.
Thank you!

I've used Zendesk for a decade and like other's who have expressed their dissatisfaction with this still not being done, it's time I expressed mine. I think the Zendesk product team is missing a number of key points, or the money brought in from the makers of Quickie and Lovely is more than the company can part with... Either way, guys, it's been 10 years, can this please finally get done. You set a limit of 12 views, system limit...you have the ability to undo this. You have at least 5 vendors who have cracked the code and created apps to get around this. These apps are ok, I have tested and used all of them over the years, but they have their limitations as well. The fix to this may not be trivial, but it sure as heck can't be a decade long venture either. I have recommended and implemented your product for 5 companies as a direct employee and countless others as a consultant. I have been a product manager, I know these things can be challenging but I would never let a key thing like this lag for so long. If you have teams that are multilingual, leverage the Mutlibrand concept, or have more than 2 departments this is one of the biggest pain points and to be honest makes as system like Freshdesk look move viable. You are better than this. I am happy to discuss/help if I can, please feel free to reach out.

I'm really confused why no one is replying or updating the nearly year old pinned comment, especially when it's clear they have seen and read our *many* pleas for any updates.
For those in the same boat, I attended the CX Event Zendesk had, and was able to get someone to confirm that it isn't happening this year, either.

I don't know if someone posted it already, but since it looks like this won't be solved anytime soon I'm using a workaround:
You can create as many views as you want and store them in the folder.
For me it works great.

Dave Dyson Could you provide an update on the feature requested in this thread? I've been told for a whole year now that it was definitely coming early Q1, then Q2, then Q3, and now that we're in Q3, I've been unable to get any replies at all about the potential timeline. This makes it very difficult to do internal planning and project mapping. Is there still a plan to increase the number of views?

No, not at all.This filter feature doesn't resolve any of the issues of the limited number of views that we have. It also introduces more problems by making it easier for agents to cherry pick tickets in views.
You cannot filter by language. You cannot filter by channel. You cannot filter by form. These are three of the four examples of things that sub-categories for views would be helpful for from the person who posted this request. The filter feature has no capability to do any of this.

Jonathan March: No, this is not half-way what I need.
The views are a 1-click solution to see a specific set of tickets. Searching through a view is just refining this specific view.
