Create a custom view

Creating custom views is simple and easy and gives you the flexibility to view and manage your supply chain data the way you want. While you can use Anvyl’s base views to create new views, you can also create as many new views from scratch as you need to give you full control of over displaying your data.

And every brand user and supplier can create new views with the data they have access to.

• Select what fields you want to show in a column
• Arrange the columns how you want
• Apply filters
• Hide aggregate columns

How to save views as your favorites

You can bookmark the views that you most frequently use by adding them to the Favorites category in the left navigation panel. While everyone on your team can see any views that you create, favorites are personal to you and when you favorite a view, only you will see it listed under Favorites.

To mark a view as a favorite:

1. Open Anvyl.
2. Navigate to a view.
3. Open the overflow menu (...) and then select the Favorite view option.
   

If you want to remove views saved to your Favorites category, simply open the overflow menu and click Unfavorite view.
