Hello everyone,

I don't know what I do wrong and it was working in the past, but something seems to have change.

When logging into dataverse and adjusting the table view with hide and show of the columns it's working fine.

Coming back the next day the view is totally changed and back to what I would say a default.

I thought about the following already.

Colleague using the same account - not possible as I am the only one working on that problem
Using the incognito browser somehow prohibits dataverse from saving the view
Publishing customization - does not work

Anybody an idea how I can save the table column view? It's taking time to set up the needed view each day.

hi @Lucas001
You must customize the view not from there but from view, there you will enter the customization area and you can customize your view

Hi @Jmanriquerios,

I tried your suggestion, but unfortunately It's not working.
As far As I know I can chagne the views for MDAs etc on the view tab.
But it seems that the Default view inside a dataverse table is not connected to a view.

Any other suggestions?

You can write me privately so I can help you, because unless you have a filter you will be able to see all the records

Hi @Lucas001 ,

You are modifying the view on the user interface in the Model App and when you do this it is "personal" and will not change any of the system views. You will notice that as soon as you make a modification on the front-end in the model app you will see a "*" on the right side of whatever view you were looking at which means you have made modifications. You can save this to a personal view at that point... See article below on the options and steps to save.

Hi @dpoggemann,

the link you provided seems to be for a model driven app.
The view I want to save somehow is the one in dataverse directly without any app opened.
The view below my table settings.As far as I remember it stays usually when you add or hide columns, but it seems like it does not.

any ideas?

Hi @Lucas001
You must click where it indicates +more add the columns you need and that's it
Notice the first view, Owner was not there, then I added it and left and came back in and it was there

Hi @Jmanriquerios,

thats what I do, the problem is, that it works fine for the day or as long as a tab is open.
When I login on the next day or in another session, I will face the first screen again, in your case without the owner.
What I want to know is, how can I save the view with in your example the owner column visible.

Hi @Lucas001 ,

Sorry, you are right, I read this as you were in the model app trying to save your personal view after you had changed data, not in the maker portal, my mistake.

This view is only maintained for the session as far as I know, I don't know of a way to modify and maintain the columns. This is where I would create the views and put them into a model app for viewing...

Hi @Lucas001

Indeed there are no options to do what you ask, other than creating an application I have to insert the table in the application and from there work the view

Hi @Lucas001,

If I'm not mistaken, the view you see in the maker portal is the Advanced Find view, which is included with all tables. Try modifying this view on your table(s) desired and publish your customizations.

Note that any customizations should be fine using solutions so that you can propogate the view configuration when deploying to other environments.
