INFO
Saved Views may consist of one or more filters, but do not currently include Master Planning 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 Master Planning. These users often filter Master Planing 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 Master Planning.
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 Mavenlink or leave and return to the Master Planning page, the view that is your "default" will be loaded.
After saving one or more views, you can access them from the Views drop-down menu at the top-left of the Master Planning page. Saved views are member-specific and cannot be shared with other members; each user must create their own views.
