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:
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:
- Filters - Which rows to show
- Column visibility - Which columns to display
- Column order - How columns are arranged
- 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
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 to show only rows that match specific conditions
Example shown: Filter to show only rows where Lead Score is 75 or higher
Step-by-step:
- Click "Add Filter" button
- Select the Field you want to filter
- Choose an Operator (equals, greater than, contains, etc.)
- Enter the Value to match
- Click "Apply Filters"
Example: Show only leads with high scores
- Field:
lead_score - Operator:
Greater than or equal to - Value:
75
Available Filter Operators
| Operator | Description | Example |

| Less or equal | Values this or lower | age <= 25 |
| Contains | Text includes substring | name contains "Smith" |
| Does not contain | Text doesn't include | email not contains "test" |
| In list | Matches any in list | status in ["pending", "active"] |
| Not in list | Doesn't match any in list | status not in ["closed", "cancelled"] |
| Is empty | Field has no value | notes is empty |
| Is not empty | Field has a value | email is not empty |
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

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
lead_score >= 75last_contact_date is emptystatus 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
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
- Go to Taibles Overview
- Right-click Taible card
- Select "Clone"
- Name descriptively ("Leads - High Priority")
- Configure each clone differently
Steps:
Go to Taibles Overview page
Right-click the Taible card
Select "Clone"
Name it descriptively:
- "Leads - High Priority View"
- "Leads - Follow Up Queue"
- "Leads - Failed Enrichment"
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
- Leads Copy
- Leads Copy 2
- 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 viewTip 3: Use Clear Filter Values
❌ Ambiguous:
statusequals"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:
- Set up your view (filters + columns)
- View persists automatically
- Bookmark the Taible URL
- Name bookmark descriptively
- Organize in "Taible Views" folder
Example bookmarks:
📁 Taible Views
├─ Leads - High Priority
├─ Leads - Follow Up Queue
├─ Support - Open Tickets
└─ Orders - Pending FulfillmentBenefit: 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)

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 outreachShare with team:

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:
- Right-click any column header
- Select "Columns"
- Check the box next to the missing column
- 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?
