Changing the default Form view

In ActivityInfo, the default view of Forms is the Table view. To update this default view for you and for everyone in your Project, create a custom view (Table, Map or Reader), share it, then set that view as the new default.

Shared views permission is a prerequisite for this function. For more information, see Understanding permissions.

When users add Records to a Form, they are displayed in a Table by default. ActivityInfo shows the Records in the order they were added, and includes the Fields you have chosen to display according to your Form design.

As you collect more information in your Form, organizing the data and customizing the display options can help you find the information you need faster.

Consider creating a custom view using the following methods:

Once you put together the perfect layout, share the custom view with your Database users by clicking it and selecting “Set to shared.”

Sharing a custom view

You can set shared views as a default view for everyone in your Project. To do so, follow these steps:

  1. Navigate to your Form.
  2. Click “Views.”
  3. Find the shared (custom) view you want as default view.
  4. Click on it, and select “Set as default.”

If multiple administrators are making edits to the view, then the last update wins.

Once a view is set as default, you cannot automatically revert back to the original view settings.
You can manually delete the shared view or select the parameters of the original view and save it as a new personalized view, then make it at the default again.
