Considerations when working with record views

  • Views in Workfront Planning are record type-specific. You cannot apply the same view to two different record types.

  • Views that you create are visible only to you and users who you share the views with.

  • When you modify or delete a view, it is modified and deleted for all users who have permissions to the view.

  • Each user can create a maximum of 100 views. You can display more than 100 views for a record type, but one user can create only 100 views.

  • You can share views you create with others. For information, see Share views.

  • The following elements are unique to each record view:

    • Filter
    • Grouping
    • Sort
    • Bar appearance (for the timeline view)

    For example, when creating a filter in a table view, the filter results are visible only in the view selected and not in all the views associated with the record type.

    note note
    NOTE
    Some view elements might not be available to all views.
