--- title: Saved views description: Save filtered APM catalog views to preserve the entity scope, filters, columns, column mode, and comparison, then reload them from All views or share them by URL. url: https://coralogix.com/docs/user-guides/apm-v2/features/saved-views/ product: data-exploration feature: Saved Views feature_id: saved-views feature_identifier: data-exploration/saved-views last_updated: '2026-11-09' --- # Saved views The APM [catalog](https://coralogix.com/docs/user-guides/apm-v2/services.md) opens in tabs, and each tab is a **view**. A view captures the entity scope, the sidebar filters, the visible columns and their [column mode](https://coralogix.com/docs/user-guides/apm-v2/services.md#the-entity-table) (Health or Ownership), and any active comparison - so you can keep a purpose-built cut of the catalog and return to it in one click. APM saved views are part of the **Saved Views** shared component used across Coralogix products. The core experience is the same in each product; the options that get saved differ. ## What an APM saved view captures | Option | Description | | ---------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **Entity scope** | Whether the view shows **Services** or **Databases**. | | **Filters** | The sidebar filters applied to the catalog, such as environment, team, and health. | | **Columns** | The visible columns and their **column mode** - Health or Ownership. | | **Comparison** | Any active compare-to-previous-period selection. | | **Auto-refresh** | The selected [auto-refresh](https://coralogix.com/docs/user-guides/apm-v2/entity-drilldown.md#refresh-and-auto-refresh) interval. | ## Create a saved view 1. Configure the catalog: choose the entity scope, apply the sidebar filters, and arrange the columns. 2. Select **Save view**. 3. In **View name**, enter a descriptive name. 4. (Optional) Under **Location**, select a **Folder** for the view, or select **Create new folder**. 5. (Optional) Set the **Access policy** to control who can view and edit the view. See [Access policy](#access-policy). 6. Select **Save view**.

You can open up to a set number of views at once. * **Reorder tabs** by dragging them, or with **Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + arrow keys**; the order persists when you reload. * Select **Save view** to save the current tab, or **Save as** to branch it into a separate view. **Save view** appears only when the tab has unsaved changes; on an already-saved view it reads **Save changes**. * A tab's actions menu also lets you **Edit**, **Rename**, or **Duplicate** the view. * To open a whole folder at once, select **All views**, open the folder's actions menu, and select **Open all views**. Every view in the folder, including its subfolders, opens as a tab in the order the panel lists them. A view that's already open reuses its tab. If the tab limit is reached partway through, the remaining views don't open and a warning tells you so. While all tab slots are in use, **Open all views** is unavailable. * A tab with pending changes shows an **unsaved changes** indicator until you save it.

To clear it, select **Remove my default**. You can also enable **Set as default view** when you create a view in the **Save view** dialog. * Your default view opens automatically when you open the catalog, and carries a **Default view** badge in the list. Platform Admins can also set a **team default** that applies to everyone on the team. Your personal default takes precedence over the team default. ## Update or save as new view When a loaded view has unsaved changes, the **Save view** menu provides: * **Update current view:** Save the changes to the loaded view. * **Save as new view:** Save the changes as a new view, leaving the original unchanged. ## Edit, clone, or delete a saved view ## Share a saved view To share a saved view with a teammate, copy the page URL after the saved view is loaded. Opening the URL applies the same query, filters, table settings, and time range. ## Access policy By default, a view is **Private** - only you can view and edit it. To share it with everyone on your team, switch the mode to **Public**. To configure per-group access rules, switch to **Advanced**. The access levels available in **Advanced** mode are: * **No Access**: team members cannot see the view unless they have an explicit group rule. * **Read**: everyone on your team can see and load the view. * **Manage**: everyone on your team can see, load, and modify the view. For the cross-product model, examples, and FAQs, see the [access policies overview](https://coralogix.com/docs/user-guides/aaa/access-control/policies.md). ## Permissions APM saved views are governed by dedicated permissions: `APM-SAVED-VIEWS:READ` and `APM-SAVED-VIEWS:MANAGE` to load and manage views, `APM-SAVED-VIEWS:READACCESSPOLICY` and `APM-SAVED-VIEWS:UPDATEACCESSPOLICY` for their access policies, and `APM-TEAM-DEFAULT-VIEWS:READ` and `APM-TEAM-DEFAULT-VIEWS:MANAGE` for team-level default views. See the APM section of the [permissions list](https://coralogix.com/docs/user-guides/aaa/access-control/permissions/permissions-list.md). ## Next steps Open a service or database to explore its telemetry in the [entity drilldown](https://coralogix.com/docs/user-guides/apm-v2/entity-drilldown.md). ## Additional resources * [Services](https://coralogix.com/docs/user-guides/apm-v2/services.md) * [Databases](https://coralogix.com/docs/user-guides/apm-v2/databases.md)
