Introduction

An account view is a filter for displaying the accounts that meet predefined criteria in a customized table. Account views are intended to help you and your agents to easily segment, find, track, prioritize, or manage accounts, without the need to manually search for a specific set of accounts.

You can define an account view based on the properties of an account. In addition, you can define who can view or modify an account view.

Account views are of the following types:

  • Dashboard: Account views of this type appear as options in the Select a predefined view field in an account dashboard window.
  • List: Account views of this type appear as options in the Select a predefined view field in:
    • The Accounts window that appears when you click Account > Accounts on the Configure tab. 
    • On the Accounts tab (when viewing the account list) in the window that appears when you click Ticketing > Tickets on the Configure tab.
    For agents and agent teams, the account views of the List type appear as options in the Select a predefined view field in the Accounts List section on the agent desktop.
