## About Views

You can see your records in different ways by creating views. In a view, you can apply filters and sorts to organize your content efficiently. For instance, on the `People` object, you can create a view to isolate US contacts by filtering those with a US phone number.

### Default View

Each object comes with an unfiltered, unsorted, and undeletable view known as the Default view. It's named after the object's plural name, such as "All Companies," "All People," "All Opportunities".

## Creating, Editing and Deleting Views

You can create several custom views and share them with your team.

### Creating a View

There are two ways to create a new view. Either directly from the `View Switcher`, or by filtering and sorting an existing view.

#### From View Switcher

1. Open the View Switcher
2. Click the `Add View` button at the bottom of the view switcher menu.
3. Choose an Icon and name for your View.
4. Choose a "View type" between Table and Kanban. 
5. (Kanban Views only) For your Kanban view, select the Select field you wish to use as the column header. The system prompts you to create one from the Settings before enabling Kanban view creation, if your object lacks a `Select field`.
6. Click "Create" to generate your new view.

The newly created view opens automatically.
