titleIntroduction

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.
