How to create a custom Inventory view
This guide shows you how to build, save, and reuse a custom view of an Inventory grid — choosing which columns to show, filtering rows, and deciding whether the view is personal or shared with the site.
Prerequisites
- You have access to an Inventory grid (any device type).
- To save a shared view you need the Administrator role; Users can save personal views only.
Steps
Open the Customize View panel
- Navigate to Inventory >
<device type>to open the grid you want to base the view on. - Click the gear icon (⚙️) in the grid toolbar to open the Customize View side panel.
- The panel exposes five tabs on Inventory grids: Columns, Filter, Conditional formatting, Fields, and More.
Choose columns
- Open the Columns tab.
- Tick or untick checkboxes to add or remove columns.
- Drag column entries to reorder them.
Filter rows
- Open the Filter tab.
- Click + Add filter and pick a field, an operator, and a value to define a condition.
- Add additional conditions to compose nested logic. Each new condition can be combined with previous conditions to build the rule set you need.
Note: Details may vary by deployment.
Group rows
- In the panel footer, locate the Group By drop zone — a "Drag a field here to group records" target.
- Drag a field name into the zone to group rows by that field. Grouped rows can be expanded with the ▸ caret.
Save the view
- With the panel open and your customizations in place, click Save As at the bottom of the panel.
- Enter a name for the view.
- Choose whether the view is personal (visible only to you) or shared (visible to all site users — Administrator only).
- Click Save.
Apply or switch views
- Use the
Default View ▼dropdown at the top-left of the grid to switch between saved views. - To update an existing view in place, open the Customize View panel, make your edits, and click Save (without "As").
Verify
After saving, you should see:
- The new view name listed in the
Default View ▼dropdown. - The grid reload in the configured state when you select the view.
- Other users see the view in their dropdown if you saved it as shared.
