Smart Views for Administrators

1. Feature Overview

Administrators can create Smart Views and assign them to different teams. As an admin, this gives you control over the views each of your teams see. With this feature, you can show your teams only those accounts, leads, opportunities, activities and tasks relevant to them.

As an admin, you can manage smart views by navigating to My Profile>Settings>Leads>Views>Smart Views.

2. Prerequisites

• You must be the Admin of your LeadSquared account.
• You must create Teams in your account.

3. Create a New Smart View

To create the first Smart View tab –

1. Navigate to My Profile>Settings>Leads>Views>Smart Views and click Create.
2. Enter a name for the new smart view tab, then click Create Tabs. You can add Lead, Opportunity, Activity and Task type tabs.

3.1 Configure Quick Actions and Menu Actions

When you create or edit a smart view tab, you can configure the actions you want a user to take on the particular entity. On the Smart Views settings page, under the Actions column, click the Configure button.

Now, from the pop-up, select/deselect the Quick Actions and Menu Actions you want to display, then click Save.

The actions will now appear on the Smart Views page.

3.2 Arrange Columns

You can reorder columns for any tab by clicking the Manage Columns icon on the top-right corner of the grid. Click the checkbox alongside the relevant fields under Select Lead Columns. Then simply drag and rearrange the fields under Reorder Selected Columns in the appropriate place.

Additionally, you can also pin columns. Pinning a column moves it to the front of the grid and freezes it in place. Pinned columns remain visible and do not move or get hidden when scrolling through the grid. You can pin upto four columns, with two primary columns pinned by default. Click the Pin icon alongside the Selected Column, and drag and rearrange the fields as required.

   • Click the checkbox alongside Replace Smart View if you wish to replace the previous Smart View that was assigned to the team. This will also replace the Smart View for any children teams that were inheriting the previous smart view.
5. Click Save.

5. FAQs

Why does the tab I created from admin settings reference a different activity after assignment?

This issue may arise when view permissions are applied to that particular entity for the user to whom the tab is assigned. Verify the permission template for view permissions. This is applicable to tasks, opportunities, and accounts as well. 

Why aren’t the filters configured in Manage Filters applied to LeadSquared’s platform Smart Views while creating an activity tab from settings?

Manage Filters for activity tabs is exclusively applicable to the new UI and Marvin. To customize filters for activity tabs, ensure that the new UI is enabled for the tenant.
