Save a personalized view of a filtered liveboard

About this task

You can apply filters to a liveboard so that it only displays information that's relevant to you, then save that filtered version as a personalized view. The personalized view is synced with the original liveboard, meaning that any changes made to the original liveboard appear in the personalized view. Other people can see your personalized view if you make it available to them.

Important: If the original liveboard is deleted, your personalized view is deleted too. If you need to prevent that, an alternative is to make a copy of the liveboard. Select More > Make a copy, then add your filters. This copy is not synced with the original liveboard, so changes made to the original won't appear on your copy.

Procedure

  1. Filter a liveboard by either:
    1. Creating your own filter: Filter liveboards.
    2. Selecting filters that are already on the liveboard. They display below the liveboard title.

  3. To let other people to see your view, select Make view available to all users.
