18.2 Saved Views

Your filter and column settings are automatically saved every time you work with a Taible. When you return, everything is exactly as you left it - no manual saving required!


How View Persistence Works

Every Taible remembers your personal preferences:

💾

Automatic View Persistence

When you work with a Taible, all your settings are automatically saved to your personal preferences:

All active filters
Column visibility
Column order
Column widths

Close the Taible → Open it later → Everything restored automatically!

No manual saving required - it just works!

What's automatically saved:

  • ✅ All active filters
  • ✅ Column visibility (which columns are shown/hidden)
  • ✅ Column order (how you've arranged them)
  • ✅ Column widths
  • ✅ Sort settings

When it saves:

  • Automatically after any change
  • Saved to your personal settings
  • Restores when you return to the Taible

Your view = always ready to go!


Creating Custom Views

Understanding Views

A "view" is your personal way of looking at a Taible. It consists of:

  1. Filters - Which rows to show
  2. Column visibility - Which columns to display
  3. Column order - How columns are arranged
  4. Column widths - How wide each column is

All of these are saved automatically!


Working with Filters

Filters let you show only the rows that match specific conditions.

Opening the Filter Modal

Taible Toolbar

10,000 rows

Click the Filter button to open the filter configuration dialog.

Click the Filter button in the toolbar to open the filter configuration.


Creating a Filter

Configure Filters

Configure filters to show only rows that match specific conditions

Lead Score
Greater than or equal to
75

Example shown: Filter to show only rows where Lead Score is 75 or higher

Step-by-step:

  1. Click "Add Filter" button
  2. Select the Field you want to filter
  3. Choose an Operator (equals, greater than, contains, etc.)
  4. Enter the Value to match
  5. Click "Apply Filters"

Example: Show only leads with high scores

  • Field: lead_score
  • Operator: Greater than or equal to
  • Value: 75

Available Filter Operators

Text Operators:

  • Equals - Exact match
  • Not equals - Everything except this value
  • Contains - Text includes this substring
  • Does not contain - Text doesn't include this substring

Number Operators:

  • Greater than - Values higher than this
  • Greater than or equal to - Values this or higher
  • Less than - Values lower than this
  • Less than or equal to - Values this or lower

List Operators:

  • In list - Matches any value in a list
  • Not in list - Doesn't match any value in a list
  • Contains any - Array contains any of these values

Empty Check:

  • Is empty - Field has no value
  • Is not empty - Field has a value

Combining Multiple Filters

Filter 1:
lead_score >= 75
AND
Filter 2:
last_contact_date is empty
AND
Filter 3:
status equals "qualified"

Result: Shows only rows that match ALL three conditions

You can add multiple filters and combine them with:

  • AND - Row must match ALL filters
  • OR - Row must match ANY filter

Example: High-priority uncontacted leads

Filter 1: lead_score >= 75
AND
Filter 2: last_contact_date is empty
AND
Filter 3: status equals "qualified"

Only rows matching all three conditions will be shown.


Removing Filters

lead_score >= 75

Remove a single filter:

  • Click the red "Remove Filter" button on that filter

Clear all filters:

  • Click "Clear All Filters" at the bottom of the modal

Your filters are saved - they'll be there next time you open the Taible!

Creating Multiple Views (Workaround)

Current limitation: One view per Taible per user

Workaround: Clone the Taible!

Clone for Multiple Views

  1. Go to Taibles Overview
  2. Right-click Taible card
  3. Select "Clone"
  4. Name descriptively ("Leads - High Priority")
  5. Configure each clone differently

Steps:

  1. Go to Taibles Overview page

  2. Right-click the Taible card

  3. Select "Clone"

  4. Name it descriptively:

    • "Leads - High Priority View"
    • "Leads - Follow Up Queue"
    • "Leads - Failed Enrichment"
  5. Configure each clone differently:

    • Each has its own filters
    • Each has its own column settings
    • Each saves independently

Switch between clones for different views!


Clone Naming Best Practices

Naming Best Practices

❌ Poor:
  • Leads Copy
  • Leads Copy 2
✅ Clear:
  • Leads - Main Database
  • Leads - High Priority View
  • Leads - Follow Up Queue

❌ Poor naming:

  • Leads
  • Leads Copy
  • Leads Copy 2

✅ Clear naming:

  • Leads - Main Database
  • Leads - High Priority View
  • Leads - Follow Up Queue
  • Leads - Debug Failed Rows

Result: Easy to find the right view!


View Management Tips

Tip 1: Document Complex Filters

Document your view configuration:

View: High Priority Leads
Filters: lead_score >= 75 AND status = "qualified"
Columns: name, email, company, score
Purpose: Daily lead outreach

For non-obvious filter logic, add documentation:

  • Keep notes in a text file
  • Share filter settings with team
  • Remember why you configured it this way

Tip 2: Review Views Regularly

Monthly Review:

  • ✓ Are filters still relevant?
  • ✓ Are column names correct?
  • ✓ Does view serve current workflow?
  • ✓ Update or delete if not useful

Monthly review:

  • ✓ Are filters still relevant?
  • ✓ Are column names still correct?
  • ✓ Does view serve current workflow?
  • ✓ Update or delete if not useful

Problem example:

Created filter 3 months ago:
- assigned_to equals "john@company.com"

John left company 2 months ago
→ View shows no results
→ Confusion!

Solution: Update filter or delete view

Tip 3: Use Clear Filter Values

❌ Ambiguous: status equals "done"
✅ Clear: Use exact values, case-sensitive!

❌ Ambiguous:

  • status equals "done"
  • Is "done" the same as "complete"?
  • What about "finished"?

✅ Clear:

  • Check actual values in the column first
  • Use exact matches (case-sensitive!)
  • Verify the filter works as expected

Tip 4: Browser Bookmarks for Quick Access

Organize bookmarks:

📁 Taible Views
  ├─ Leads - High Priority  
  ├─ Support - Open Tickets
  └─ Orders - Pending

Create bookmarks for configured views:

  1. Set up your view (filters + columns)
  2. View persists automatically
  3. Bookmark the Taible URL
  4. Name bookmark descriptively
  5. Organize in "Taible Views" folder

Example bookmarks:

📁 Taible Views
  ├─ Leads - High Priority
  ├─ Leads - Follow Up Queue
  ├─ Support - Open Tickets
  └─ Orders - Pending Fulfillment

Benefit: One-click access to pre-configured views!


Sharing View Configurations

Current limitation: No built-in view sharing

Workaround: Document and share manually

Create a text document:

View Name: High Priority Leads

Filters:
1. lead_score >= 75
2. status = "qualified"

Columns: name, email, company
Purpose: Daily outreach

Share with team via email, chat, or wiki

Create a text document:

View Name: High Priority Leads
========================

Filters:
1. lead_score >= 75
2. last_contact_date is empty
3. status equals "qualified"
   (Combine all with AND)

Column Visibility:
Show: name, email, company, lead_score, industry
Hide: created_at, updated_at, id, raw_data

Column Order (left to right):
1. name
2. company
3. email
4. lead_score
5. industry

Purpose: Daily high-priority lead outreach

Share with team:

  • Email the document

Troubleshooting

My filters aren't working

Filters Not Working?

  • ✓ Field name spelled correctly?
  • ✓ Value matches exactly (case-sensitive)?
  • ✓ Right operator selected?
  • ✓ Clicked "Apply Filters"?

Check:

  • ✓ Is the field name spelled correctly?
  • ✓ Is the value exactly matching (case-sensitive)?
  • ✓ Are you using the right operator?
  • ✓ Click "Apply Filters" to save changes

Test: Try a simple filter first (like "status equals X") to verify filtering works


Columns reset after I closed the Taible

Settings Not Persisting?

  • ✓ Logged in (not anonymous)?
  • ✓ Browser cookies enabled?
  • ✓ Try clearing cache and login again

This shouldn't happen! Column settings save automatically.

If it does:

  • Verify you're logged in (anonymous users may lose settings)
  • Check browser isn't blocking cookies/storage
  • Try clearing browser cache and logging in again

I can't find a column I need

Cannot Find Column?

Column might be hidden. Right-click header → Select "Columns" → Check the box to show it

The column might be hidden:

  1. Right-click any column header
  2. Select "Columns"
  3. Check the box next to the missing column
  4. Column appears!

Filters show no results

Filters Show No Results?

Filters might be too restrictive. Remove filters one at a time to find which causes empty results.

Your filters might be too restrictive:

  • Remove filters one at a time
  • See which filter causes empty results
  • Adjust that filter's value or operator

Check data:

  • Do any rows actually match these conditions?
  • Are values spelled/formatted correctly?

Summary

✅ What works now:

  • Filters persist automatically per Taible
  • Column settings persist (visibility, order, width)
