[[Image:Listview.gif|right|thumb| A List View of the Clients Object, displaying the View ''My Client Records'']]Views are a means to organize your data in a way that is meaningful, along with optional settings to customize and save views for reference or analysis.

Β 
With your data loaded into the platform, you can start creating custom views to convey specific information you want your team to see. By selecting the fields you want and assigning a variety of filters, you can isolate key information quickly and easily.
Β 
Users can define new views, so an entire team or a select group can share information. That means the effort a user puts into designing a β€œslice and dice” view can easily be shared with the team, for instant collaboration. Multiple Views compartmentalize information about each object for quick access to records.

Β 
Views offer [[Visibility]] controls, that grant view or edit rights to specific Users, Teams or Roles. By the same control functionality, data in views can be hidden from users/teams/roles as well.

==Inline Editing of a List View==
When records are displayed in a spreadsheet-style grid (a ''list view''), you can double-click in the row to edit the fields in it, without having to go to the detail row first. Change as many fields as you want (although not all fields are editable). Then:
:* Press the <tt>Enter</tt> key to save your changes.
:* Press the <tt>Esc</tt> key to abort.
:* Use <tt>Tab</tt> and <tt>Shift+Tab</tt> to move between fields.

====Tips====
*To apply a filter to a checkbox, use "<tt>1</tt>" for Yes/True and "<tt>0</tt>" for No/False values.
*Specify multiple values using the pipe "<tt>|</tt>" character. For example: <tt> "State equals CA|NY|MN" </tt>
*When searching for empty fields, use <tt>BLANK</tt>. For example: <tt>"Phone equals BLANK"</tt>
