Saved Views: Filters That Survive Monday Morning

Every operator has a version of the list they actually need: open inbound for this warehouse, outbound waiting for packing, settlements missing cost allocation, collections for next week. Rebuilding that filter stack every morning is not workflow. It is a tiny ritual of annoyance.

What a saved view stores

A saved view stores the list context: filters, sort, visibility and whether it should be pinned or default. It does not copy the rows. The next time the user opens the view, the database is queried again with the same lens, so the work is current instead of fossilized.

Where it exists

Saved views are available across high-traffic worklists such as inventory, inbound, outbound, collections, settlements, invoices, contracts, demanufacturing and components. Companies and contacts stay out until their filter patterns justify it; not every list needs a trophy shelf.

Personal and shared habits

Users can keep personal views for their own workflow, while managers can promote the views a team should share. The creator snapshot helps explain where a view came from when "Ops Morning Check" has somehow become business-critical.

Why it matters

Saved views make repeated work predictable. They also reduce mistakes: when the filter is named and reused, operators are less likely to ship the wrong slice of reality because one checkbox reset overnight.
