Saved Views

Learn how to save a set of commonly used filters.

Written by Maahi Islam

Where you use the same filters on a list repeatedly, such as the Clients one Client Manager looks after or this month's unpaid Invoices, you can save those filters as a tab on the list and come back to them in one click. Saved tabs are available to Administrators, and each one can either be kept to yourself or shared with the rest of your team.

Note: This changed in November 2026. Saved views used to sit in a Saved views menu at the right hand end of the filter bar. That menu is gone, and your saved views now appear as tabs along the top of the list instead. Nothing was lost - see What changed in November 2026 below.

The tab row

Every list has a row of tabs above its filter bar. It holds, in this order:

  • All, which is always there and always first.
    ​

  • The list's own tabs, where it has them - the statuses, most with a count. On People > Tutors those are Pending, Approved, Rejected and Dormant; on Accounting > Raised Invoices, Unpaid, Paid and so on.
    ​

  • Your own saved tabs.
    ​

  • Tabs other Administrators have shared with everyone.

The tab row on People > Tutors, with All, the list's own status tabs and their counts, then a saved tab.

The tab row on People > Tutors, with All, the list's own status tabs and their counts, then a saved tab.

Lists without statuses, such as People > Students, start with just All and whatever tabs have been saved.

Note: The list's own tabs carry a count; saved tabs do not. Counting every saved tab's filters on every page load would slow the list down too much.

On a wide screen the row keeps to one line and any tabs that do not fit move into a More menu at the end. On a phone the row becomes a single switcher showing the open tab, which opens a Tabs list when you select it.

Making a tab

  1. Go to the list you want a tab on, for example People > Clients. If you already have the filters you want applied, they are used as the starting point.
    ​

  2. Select + at the end of the tab row and choose New tab.
    ​

  3. Enter a name under Tab name and select Next. The tab appears on the row in italics, showing it is not saved yet.
    ​

  4. Set the filters you want. The tab stays open while you do.
    ​

  5. Select Save tab, choose Only me or All admins under 'Who can see it', then Save tab again.

To abandon a tab you have started, select the × beside Save tab.

Note: A tab needs at least one filter. With none applied you are told to add a filter before saving. Very long sets of filters cannot be saved either, and you are asked to remove some first.

Names have to be unique per list, so saving a second tab under a name you have already used on that list is refused and you are told you already have one with that name. Rename the existing tab, or pick another name.

Opening a tab and changing its filters

Select any tab to open it. Its filters are applied, the tab is highlighted, and the filter chips below show what is in use.

A tab saves the filters rather than the results, so the list is rebuilt each time. Records that now match appear, and ones that no longer match drop out.

If you change the filters while a tab is open, a small dot appears on the tab to show its filters are no longer the ones it was saved with. Select the chevron on the open tab to decide what to do with them:

  • Update "[tab name]" - save the filters you have now onto this tab. Only offered on your own saved tabs.
    ​

  • Save as new tab - keep this tab as it was and save the changed filters as a separate tab.
    ​

  • Reset filters - put the tab's own filters back.

On one of the list's own status tabs, Clear filters on the filter bar takes you back to that status rather than to the bare list.

Note: The list's own tabs keep whatever else you have filtered by. Select a status tab or All and your other filters stay applied, and each tab's count shows how many records with that status match them. Saved tabs work the other way round, as opening one applies the filters it was saved with and drops anything else.

Three things sit outside that:

  • The Prospect (Pipeline) tab on People > Clients opens the Client Pipeline board, which has filters of its own, so it does not carry yours across and its count is all the Branch's Prospects. The board's own tabs behave the same way.
    ​

  • The tabs on Job applications and Tasks carry no counts at all, though their links keep your filters like the rest.
    ​

  • Reset filters and Clear filters still take you to the tab on its own, not to the tab plus whatever you had applied.

Renaming, sharing and deleting a tab

Select the chevron on the open tab. On your own saved tabs the menu offers:

  • Rename - change the name without touching the filters.
    ​

  • Share with all admins - put it on every Administrator's tab row on your Branch. This only appears while the tab is still private.
    ​

  • Hide tab - take it off your own row without deleting it. Marked 'Just for you', and you can bring it back from Manage tabs.
    ​

  • Delete - remove it for good. You are asked to confirm, and if the tab is shared the confirmation warns you that every Administrator loses it.

On a tab somebody else has shared, your menu offers only Hide tab and Manage tabs. You cannot update, rename, share or delete another Administrator's tab.

Note: The chevron menu is not shown when a tab is the only one on the row, because + already does everything it would.

Arranging your tabs

Select + at the end of the row, or the chevron on the open tab, and choose Manage tabs…. The dialog lists your tabs in three groups:

  • Default tabs - the list's own tabs. All is always shown and cannot be hidden or moved.
    ​

  • Your tabs - tabs you have saved, each marked 'Only you' or 'Shared with all admins'.
    ​

  • Shared with you - tabs other Administrators have shared, each marked with their name.

The Manage tabs dialog. Drag the handle on a row to reorder it, and use the switch to show or hide it.

Drag the handle on a row to reorder tabs within a group, and use the switch on the right to show or hide one. Select Done to save, or Reset to default to put the row back as it came.

Note: Ordering and hiding are yours alone. Nobody else's tab row changes, and hiding a tab somebody shared does not take it away from them or from anyone else.

Statuses are now filters too

A list's statuses are now a Status filter on the filter bar as well as tabs on the row. Opening the Pending tab on People > Tutors is the same as setting the Status filter to Pending, and the Status chip shows below.

The Pending tab on People > Tutors, with the matching Status filter applied below it.

That is what lets a saved tab hold a status alongside anything else - a tab for approved Tutors in one area, say, or unpaid Invoices for one Client Manager.

What changed in November 2026

If you used Saved Views before, these are the differences:

  • The Saved views menu is gone. Your saved views are now tabs on the row above the filter bar. Nothing was deleted - they were moved across for you.
    ​

  • Views are no longer tied to a tab. A view used to belong to the status tab you saved it on, so the same filters had to be saved again on each tab. Now the status is simply part of the tab's filters, and every tab on a list sits on the same row.
    ​

  • Tabs can be edited in place. You no longer have to delete a view and save it again to change its filters - use Update from the open tab's menu.
    ​

  • Old bookmarks to status pages no longer work. Addresses such as the old Pending Tutors or Live Clients pages now return a 'page not found'. Open the list from the menu and choose the tab instead, then bookmark that.
    ​

  • List buttons moved. Export, Email, Label, Send to Client, Delete selected Lessons and Archive selected Chats now sit at the top of the page beside the main action button, rather than beside the tabs.

Note: A small number of old views were removed in the move, because they no longer held any filters once the status became one - views saved on an All tab, on the Incomplete tab of Tasks, on the In Pay Run tab of a Branch that does not use Pay Runs, or on the Rubbish bin. Those tabs already show exactly what the view did, so nothing is lost.

Two filter changes came with it. The Unpaid tab on Raised Invoices and Payment Orders is now unpaid only and no longer includes refused payments, and Archived is now a value of the chat Status filter at Communications > Messages, so an archived chat cannot also be filtered as Active or Inactive.

Note: The tab row changed again on 10th November 2026. When tabs first shipped, selecting one of the list's own tabs cleared the other filters you had applied, and the counts on the row ignored them. Both now follow your filters, as described under Opening a tab and changing its filters above.

Where saved tabs are not available

Saved tabs appear on the admin list pages that have a filter bar, which covers the user lists, Jobs and Job applications, the Client Pipeline, the Lessons list, Tasks, Messages and the Accounting lists. They are not available in three places:

  • On the Calendar itself at Activity > Calendar. Its filter bar works as normal, but the Calendar also tracks the date and view mode you are looking at, which a saved tab would pin to whichever day it was saved on.
    ​

  • On the Rubbish bin at System > Trash, which keeps its own three page tabs.
    ​

  • To Tutors, Clients and Students. They see the list's own status tabs on their own lists and can filter as normal, but there is no + button and no tab menu, so they cannot save tabs of their own.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where has the Saved views menu gone?

It was replaced in November 2026 by the tab row above the filter bar. Your saved views were moved across as tabs, so they are all still there - look along the top of the list rather than at the end of the filter bar. If you cannot see one, check Manage tabs in case it is hidden on your row.

Can I change the filters on a tab I have already saved?

Yes. Open the tab, change the filters, then select the chevron on the tab and choose Update. You no longer have to delete it and save it again.

Do my filters stay when I switch tabs?

On the list's own tabs, yes. Select a status tab or All and the filters you already had stay applied, and the counts on the row show how many records in each status match them. Opening a saved tab is different, as it applies the filters it was saved with and drops anything else. To get back to a tab's own filters, use Reset filters from its menu.

Why can I not save the current filters as a tab?

Either no filters are applied yet, or the set of filters you have is too long to save. Add at least one filter, or remove a few, and try again.

Why can I not find a tab I saved?

Check three things. It may have moved into the More menu at the end of the row if the row is full. It may be hidden on your own row, which you can undo from Manage tabs. Or you may be on a different Branch, as tabs belong to the Branch they were saved on and do not follow you when you switch.

My bookmark to a status page stopped working.

The old per-status addresses were retired when statuses became filters, so those bookmarks now return a 'page not found'. Open the list from the menu, select the tab you want, and bookmark that address instead.

Can another Administrator delete a tab I have shared?

No. On a tab you shared, their menu offers only Hide tab and Manage tabs, so the most they can do is take it off their own row. Only you can rename, update or delete it - and deleting a shared tab removes it for everyone, which the confirmation warns you about.

What is the difference between hiding and deleting a tab?

Hiding takes a tab off your own row and changes nothing for anyone else; you can show it again from Manage tabs at any time. Deleting removes the tab itself, for you and, if it was shared, for every other Administrator too.

Why do my saved tabs not show a count?

Only the list's own tabs show counts. Working out a count for every saved tab each time a list loads would make the page noticeably slower, so saved tabs show their results when you open them instead.

Will a shared tab show other Administrators records they cannot normally see?

No. Opening a tab applies its filters to the list as that Administrator already sees it, so their own permissions still decide which records are returned.
