7.2: Your View Is Remembered
Remember building that perfect filter in the last section? The one that shows exactly the conversations you need to see?
Here's the good news: you don't have to build it again. TAIBLES remembers your filters and your column layout for each table, per person. Close the tab, come back tomorrow, and your table looks exactly as you left it.
💡 What You'll Learn
By the end of this section, you'll know:
- ✅ What TAIBLES remembers about your view, and what it doesn't
- ✅ The filter recipes that cover most daily work
- ✅ How to switch between them quickly
- ✅ How to hand a view to a colleague
7.2.1: What Gets Remembered
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!
Every table keeps your personal settings:
- All active filters
- Which columns are visible or hidden
- The order of your columns
- Column widths
When does it save? Automatically, right after you change something. There is no save button to press and nothing to name.
💡 💡 Personal, Not Shared
These settings belong to you. A colleague opening the same table sees their own filters and column layout, not yours. Nobody can disturb your view by changing theirs.
7.2.2: Switching Between Different Questions
Because there is no list of named views, switching between two ways of looking at a table means changing the filter. That is a couple of clicks in "Filter", and the new filter is what gets remembered from then on.
For the handful of questions you ask over and over, it helps to know the recipes by heart. The next section has the ones that work for almost any table.
💡 Pro Tip
Leave your table filtered to the view you start your day with. Since it persists, opening the table already puts you where you want to be—no setup, no extra clicks.
7.2.3: Filter Recipes You'll Use Every Day
These recipes work for almost any table. Build them in "Filter" when you need them.
The "Inbox" Recipe
Purpose: See unassigned items waiting for someone to take
Filters:
- Assigned To is empty
Use this when: Starting your day, looking for new work
The "My Work" Recipe
Purpose: See only your assigned items that aren't finished
Filters:
- Assigned To equals [Your Name]
- Status not equals Done
Use this when: Checking what's on your plate
The "Needs Review" Recipe
Purpose: Items awaiting your approval
Filters:
- Status equals Pending Review
- OR Approval Required equals Yes
Use this when: Reviewing AI-generated content or decisions
The "Completed Today" Recipe
Purpose: See what you've accomplished
Filters:
- Status equals Complete
- Completed Date equals Today
Use this when: End-of-day review, feeling productive!
The "Escalated" Recipe
Purpose: High-priority items needing immediate attention
Filters:
- Priority equals High
- Status not equals Complete
Use this when: Triage, emergency situations
The "What Went Wrong" Recipe
Purpose: Find the rows where a step failed
Filters:
- The status of a calculated column equals "Unsuccessful"
Use this when: Debugging. This one is worth memorising—it is the fastest way to find problems in a busy table.
💡 Your Table, Your Filters
These are suggestions—filter the way your work runs.
Think about:
- What questions do you ask most often?
- Which one do you want waiting for you when you open the table?
That last one is the filter to leave applied.
7.2.4: Cleaning Up Your View
Filters narrow the rows. Columns are separate:
- Use "Display options" in a column's menu to hide a column you don't need to watch. It keeps running—you just stop seeing it.
- Drag column headers to put the important ones first.
Both are remembered along with your filters.
💡 💡 Hidden Is Not Disabled
Hiding a column changes nothing about your automation. The work still happens; the result is still stored. You've only tidied your own screen.
7.2.5: Sharing a View With Your Team
Since these settings are personal, sharing means sharing the recipe rather than the view itself.
Write down:
- The filter conditions (field, operator, value)
- Which columns you hide
- Why the view is useful
Send that to your colleague and they can set it up once. From then on, TAIBLES remembers it for them too.
7.2.6: Real-World Example
Let's see how Sarah, a customer support manager, works.
Sarah's table: Customer Support Tickets
She leaves her table filtered to her own open tickets, because that's what she wants to see first thing. Her AI draft column and her notes column sit at the front; the intermediate lookup columns are hidden.
Her day:
- 9:00 AM: Opens the table. Her open tickets are already there—no filter to rebuild.
- 10:00 AM: Changes the filter to unassigned tickets, assigns five to her team.
- 11:00 AM: Filters to rows with an AI draft awaiting approval, approves twelve.
- 2:00 PM: Filters to high priority, handles two urgent cases.
- 5:00 PM: Sets the filter back to her own open tickets, ready for tomorrow.
The point: the view she wants most often is the one she leaves behind.
What You've Learned
