Saved views, filters, and columns

Karl Falconer · Updated

Most of the list pages in DropStream — Sales Orders, Shipments, Returns, Invoices, Acknowledgements, Purchase Orders, Inventory, Products, Alerts, Issues — share the same toolbar with three controls:

  • Filter by — facet filters specific to the page (e.g. status, date, store).
  • Columns — show, hide, and reorder columns.
  • View selector — save your filter + column layout as a reusable view.

This article explains how those three controls work. The available filters and columns are different on each page, but the mechanics are identical.

Show, hide, and reorder columns

Click Columns to open the column popover. Each column has a checkbox (visible/hidden) and a drag handle (reorder).

Columns popover with checkboxes and drag handles

  • Uncheck a column to hide it from the table.
  • Drag a column up or down by its handle to change the order.

Changes apply immediately to the table. They are scoped to the current view — see below for how to save them.

Saved views

A view captures the filters, search query, sort, and column configuration you have applied. The view selector is the rightmost button on the toolbar; it shows the name of the current view (for new pages, this is Default View).

Save a new view

  1. Apply the filters, columns, and sort you want.
  2. Click the view selector and choose Save as New View.
  3. Enter a name and save.

The view is now selectable from the dropdown. The URL updates with the view’s ID, so you can bookmark or share the link.

Per-user vs. account views

  • Per-user views are private to you. Any DropStream user can create one.
  • Account views are shared across everyone in the account. Only admin users can create or rename account views.

When saving, admin users see a toggle to choose between a personal and an account view.

Switch, rename, and delete views

  • Click the view selector and pick another view to switch.
  • Use the rename and delete options on a view’s row in the dropdown to manage it. Deleting a view does not affect the underlying data — only your saved layout.

Reset to the default

To discard unsaved changes and return to the page’s built-in defaults, pick Default View from the view selector.

Where this applies

This UI pattern is used on every list page in DropStream. The available filters and columns differ — see the entity-specific search & filter article for the field list:

The view, filter, and column behavior is identical across all of them.
