==Introduction==
List views are the part of the SmartSimple [[Interfaces|interface]] that combine similar records in a vertically scrolling list. The '''List View''' allows you to define which [[Standard_Fields|Standard]] and [[Custom Field|Custom]] Fields are displayed when viewing a list of records. You can also define the sequence in which the records are displayed.
For example, clicking on the Contacts hyperlink in the [[Administration Interface|administration interface]] displays a list view of contact records in your SmartSimple system:
[[Image: Contactlistview2017.png|1000px|border]]
 
* A user can choose from a selection of list views by changing the value in the “List View” drop box above the list view. The benefit of this feature is that each list view can display a different combination of [[fields]].
* A major feature of SmartSimple list views is that the results can be easily exported to Microsoft Excel. See [[Exporting List View Results to Microsoft Excel]] for more information on this feature.
<br>
==System Views and Personal Views==
There are two types of List Views: System Views and Personal Views.
 * System Views belong to a specific [[role]]. All users in that role will have the option to select this List View. <!--There can only be one System View assigned to each role. [CHANGED PER TICKET 18863 - List View Enhancements WITH MARCH 14, 2013 UPGRADE]--> Multiple System Views can be defined for each role.
* Personal Views are only visible to the user who creates them. Multiple Personal Views can be defined for each user.
<br>
==Contact and Company List Views==
The screenshot above is an example of a Contacts list view. List views can also be [[Configuring List Views|configured]] for Company and Account records. These list views are [[Configuring List Views|configured]] on the [[Global Settings]] page under [[User & Contact Settings |User & Contact Settings ]] and [[Company & Account Settings|Company & Account Settings]], respectively.
Within each separate [[UTA|application]], the Account and Contact list views can be independently configured to display different fields. See [[Accessing the List View Configuration Page|this page]] for information on accessing the list view configuration pages for specific [[Entity|entities]].
<br/><br/>
==List Views in a Universal Tracking Application==
* Within the [[Universal Tracking Application]], the Settings page allows you to [[Configuring List Views|define]] the list view for [[Level 1 Entity|Level 1]], [[Level 2 Entity|Level 2]] and [[Level 3 Entity|Level 3]] records, as well as the Accounts and/or Contacts sections on the Level 1 records (if the Contacts/Accounts Standard Fields have been enabled).
* The '''List View''' defined for Level 2 will apply both to the list view on the Level 2 tab, and the list of associated Level 2s at the bottom of a Level 1 record, if shown.  [[File:L2ListViewOnAL1.png|thumb|right|link=|thumb|150px|Example of list view of associated Level 2s at bottom of Level 1 record.]]
* Similarly the Level 3 list view applies also to the Level 3s listed at the bottom of a Level 2 record.
as well as the Accounts and/or Contacts sections on the Level 1 records (if the Contacts/Accounts Standard Fields have been enabled)-->
