For a quick overview, check the Filters and Views video guide.
Views types and plan availability
With Views, you can save filters and sort orders to quickly access the items you need most. There are two types of Views: personal and shared.
Personal Views
Personal Views are saved and available only to the person who created them. Any team member can create personal Views for their own use. This feature is available on all Float plans.
Shared Views
Shared Views can be used by any team member in your organization. The feature is available to teams on Pro and Enterprise plans, and it allows Managers, Admins, and Account Owners to create views that are available to everyone on the team.

Creating Views
Start by filtering the items you need for the View. You can use a Filter button on any Float page (Schedule, People, Projects, Reports, and Log time).
Click the Filter button to start adding a filter.
Select from one of the default filters or type directly into the search field.
Filter by multiple types simultaneously by selecting the + button to expand the search.
📝 Note: Between different types, use the AND filter. The OR is available for filters of the same type only. See Restrictions on using OR filter.
Click Save, then add a name for your View.
If your team is on a Pro and Enterprise plan, this is where the Account Owner, Admins, and Managers have an additional option to set the View type to Shared. Otherwise, the view will be saved as Personal by default.
Restrictions on using the OR filter when saving a View
When saving a View, you cannot create an OR filter between different types. For example, it is not possible to set Department is Engineer or Project is Mobile App Development and save that as a View.
When saving a View, you only have the option to use AND between different filter types.
OR is only available for use within the same filter type. For example, Department is Product or Support.
Combining AND/OR filter when saving a View
When saving a View, you can multi-select different values under the same type to use the OR filter.
You can then combine it with a different type using the AND filter. For example, Department is Engineering OR Support AND Person tag is APAC or EMEA.
Accessing saved Views
You can access saved views by clicking on the Views icon at the top left corner of any Float page. From here, you can access all your personal Views and any shared Views that have been saved. A shared View will have the shared icon next to its name.
You can also filter between the personal and shared Views or search for a View.
Editing Views
Currently, we only support editing the View's name.
To modify the name, open the Views dropdown, click on the three dots next to the view you'd like to change and select Edit View.
If you are the Account Owner, Admin, or Manager, and your team is on the Pro or Enterprise plan, you'll also see the option to convert your View to either Personal or Shared.
Specific filters applied for the View can’t be edited directly. Instead, you can apply the View, add additional filters, save it with the same name, and then delete the original View. Alternatively, you can delete the current View and add a new one from scratch.
Deleting Views
To delete the View, open the Views dropdown, click on the three dots next to the view you'd like to remove, and select Delete View.
Additional notes
Only the Account Owner and Admins can edit or delete a shared View. Managers can edit and delete the shared Views they created only.
Views are currently not supported on the mobile app.
