Resource Center: Saved Views

INFO

Saved Views may consist of one or more filters, but do not currently include Resource Center page settings such as calendar controls and Display Preferences.

Overview

Resource managers—or other high-frequency users in large organizations—spend a significant portion of their day in the Resource Center. These users often filter the Resource Center down to a particular set of people or projects to get the information they need.

With Saved Views, you can create your own custom views based on frequently-used filters. This allows you to quickly switch between sets of people or projects without having to manually reapply the same filters each time you visit the Resource Center.

Views created on the Team Members tab are unique from those created on the Projects tab. The view that is currently active on each tab will be remembered as you move back and forth between them. However, if you log out of Kantata or leave and return to the Resource Center page, the view that is your "default" will be loaded.

You can save up to 200 views in each tab. After saving one or more views, you can access them from the Views drop-down menu at the top left of the Resource Center page. Saved views are member specific and cannot be shared with other members; each user must create their own views.

How to Save a View

Create and save filters by role, availability, users who reports to a specific manager, custom fields, and more.
