# Work with views

{% hint style="info" %}
Only users with the **Admin** role in the current workspace can create views. Learn more about roles in [Manage workspace access](/builder-hub/manage-your-organization-and-workspace/organize-your-workspace/manage-workspace-access.md).
{% endhint %}

Views help you shape one table for different kinds of work. Views are different representations of your data and do not affect the data themselves, nor do they change or delete it.

Ninox offers the following view types:

{% columns %}

[**Table**](/builder-hub/visualize-and-organize-your-data/work-with-views/table-view.md)\
Create, filter, and edit records in rows and columns.
{% endcolumn %}

## How to create a new view

In general, you create all view types in the same way.

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
**Start**

Open the table.\
At the top of the screen, click the **+** next to the last view name.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Enter the view details**

Enter a **Name** for the new view.\
In **Display as**, select the view type.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Create the view**

Click **Create view**.\
The new view appears as a tab at the top of the table.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Configure your view**

Use the options applying to the chosen view type as described in the following paragraphs.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

## **Filter records in a view**

You can filter all view types to show only the records relevant to a team or task. This helps to keep a better overview and keep sensitive records out of views for users who should not access or see them.\
To control access to sensitive records and fields, also use permissions. For more on permissions, see [Manage workspace access](/builder-hub/manage-your-organization-and-workspace/organize-your-workspace/manage-workspace-access.md).

Use filters to show only the records relevant to the current task, team, or workflow.

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
**Open the view**

Open the table.\
Then open the view you want to filter.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Open the filter options**

Click **Filter** in the view toolbar.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Add one or more conditions**

Choose the field you want to filter by.\
Then choose the condition and value.\
Add more conditions if you want to narrow the result further.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Review the visible records**

Check whether the view now shows the records you need.\
Adjust or remove conditions if you want to broaden or refine the result.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

{% hint style="info" %}
A filter only changes which records appear in the current view. It does not change or delete records.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
Filters help you focus a view. They do not replace permissions. To control access to sensitive records or fields, also use permissions.
{% endhint %}

## Delete a view

Delete a view if you no longer need that way of displaying the table.

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
**Open the view**

Open the table.\
Then open the view you want to delete.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Open the view menu**

Click the arrow next to the view name.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
**Delete the view**

Click **Delete view**.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

{% hint style="info" %}
Deleting a view removes only the view. It does not delete any records or field data.
{% endhint %}

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.ninox.com/builder-hub/visualize-and-organize-your-data/work-with-views.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
