Sharing Personal Views and Creating Global Views in the Settings

Original Slack Thread

Hello team! Is there a way for a user to share a view that they have created? I’m referring to “My Views” in settings under Manage.

hey Brett! so right now there’s only two types of views: personal ones that only you see and global ones that everyone sees. right now there’s no way to share a specific personal view with someone else, but if you think it’s a view everyone could benefit from you can always make a global view

Thanks for getting back to me Chris, how do I create a global view? When I Press “Create new view” it seems to be a personal view and no option for global.

ahh yeah i see, in order to create global views you need to be given the “Manage Public Views” platform privilege like in the screenshot below (when creating a policy)![attachment]({‘ID’: ‘F06T3PL0E6Q’, ‘EDITABLE’: False, ‘IS_EXTERNAL’: False, ‘USER_ID’: ‘U03BEML16LB’, ‘CREATED’: ‘2024-04-05 16:42:16+00:00’, ‘PERMALINK’: ‘Slack’, ‘EXTERNAL_TYPE’: ‘’, ‘TIMESTAMPS’: ‘2024-04-05 16:42:16+00:00’, ‘MODE’: ‘hosted’, ‘DISPLAY_AS_BOT’: False, ‘PRETTY_TYPE’: ‘PNG’, ‘NAME’: ‘image.png’, ‘IS_PUBLIC’: True, ‘PREVIEW_HIGHLIGHT’: None, ‘MIMETYPE’: ‘image/png’, ‘PERMALINK_PUBLIC’: ‘https://slack-files.com/TUMKD5EGJ-F06T3PL0E6Q-ea2d92f979’, ‘FILETYPE’: ‘png’, ‘EDIT_LINK’: None, ‘URL_PRIVATE’: ‘Slack’, ‘HAS_RICH_PREVIEW’: False, ‘TITLE’: ‘image.png’, ‘IS_STARRED’: False, ‘PREVIEW_IS_TRUNCATED’: None, ‘URL_PRIVATE_DOWNLOAD’: ‘Slack’, ‘PREVIEW’: None, ‘PUBLIC_URL_SHARED’: False, ‘MESSAGE_TS’: ‘1712335338.194489’, ‘PARENT_MESSAGE_TS’: ‘1712247999.009539’, ‘MESSAGE_CHANNEL_ID’: ‘CV2UXSE9L’, ‘_FIVETRAN_DELETED’: False, ‘LINES_MORE’: None, ‘LINES’: None, ‘SIZE’: 133694, ‘_FIVETRAN_SYNCED’: ‘2024-04-07 12:17:55.030000+00:00’})

then when you create a view, the dropdown that currently has “Private” selected will be enabled and you can select global![attachment]({‘ID’: ‘F06T1A1UNEN’, ‘EDITABLE’: False, ‘IS_EXTERNAL’: False, ‘USER_ID’: ‘U03BEML16LB’, ‘CREATED’: ‘2024-04-05 16:42:52+00:00’, ‘PERMALINK’: ‘Slack’, ‘EXTERNAL_TYPE’: ‘’, ‘TIMESTAMPS’: ‘2024-04-05 16:42:52+00:00’, ‘MODE’: ‘hosted’, ‘DISPLAY_AS_BOT’: False, ‘PRETTY_TYPE’: ‘PNG’, ‘NAME’: ‘image.png’, ‘IS_PUBLIC’: True, ‘PREVIEW_HIGHLIGHT’: None, ‘MIMETYPE’: ‘image/png’, ‘PERMALINK_PUBLIC’: ‘https://slack-files.com/TUMKD5EGJ-F06T1A1UNEN-9bcaa9fa1f’, ‘FILETYPE’: ‘png’, ‘EDIT_LINK’: None, ‘URL_PRIVATE’: ‘Slack’, ‘HAS_RICH_PREVIEW’: False, ‘TITLE’: ‘image.png’, ‘IS_STARRED’: False, ‘PREVIEW_IS_TRUNCATED’: None, ‘URL_PRIVATE_DOWNLOAD’: ‘Slack’, ‘PREVIEW’: None, ‘PUBLIC_URL_SHARED’: False, ‘MESSAGE_TS’: ‘1712335376.193649’, ‘PARENT_MESSAGE_TS’: ‘1712247999.009539’, ‘MESSAGE_CHANNEL_ID’: ‘CV2UXSE9L’, ‘_FIVETRAN_DELETED’: False, ‘LINES_MORE’: None, ‘LINES’: None, ‘SIZE’: 259921, ‘_FIVETRAN_SYNCED’: ‘2024-04-07 12:17:55.058000+00:00’})
