Change View

Lists have the potential to hold a great deal of information which can be overwhelming for a user. To help solve this problem, Views are used to present a sub-set of information that is easier to digest.

There are two main types types of view:

1. A Personal View which is an option available to site members. This allows them to design their own way of organising a list that does not impact others.
2. A Public View is designed by site or list owners. They have the same options as a personal view but are available to be used by all. Public views can also be set as the default view. The default view (All Items when a list is created) is the first view a users sees when accessing the list. This means that a user must switch to an additional view.

Views use filters and styles to show, in different ways, the information available in your list. Filtering means that you do not need to create a whole set of lists or folders to see the prioritized or important content in a list.

Lists can have many views which can be added to as time passes. To switch to another view, follow these steps: 

	Navigate to a custom list
	Click on the Views dropdown
	Select a View
