# Overview

## Overview

Smartviews are saved views of the Deals page. Each Smartview combines the columns you want to display, the deals you want to include, and the order in which those deals appear.

Use Smartviews to create focused queues for different parts of your workflow without changing the underlying deal data.

## How Smartviews Work

A Smartview has three main parts:

* **Columns** determine which deal information appears in the table. A column must be enabled before its related filters become available.
* **Filters** narrow the deals in the view. When you use multiple filters, deals must meet all of them. Selecting multiple values within one filter includes deals matching any selected value.
* **Sorting** controls the order of the results. You can add multiple sorting rules and arrange them by priority.

After a Smartview is saved, open it from the Smartviews submenu on the **Deals** page.

## Types of Smartviews

| Type | Who can use it | When to use it |
| - | - | - |
| **My Smartviews** | The person who creates the Smartview | Create a private queue for your own deals or responsibilities. |
| **Organization Smartviews** | Users in the organization who can access the shared Smartview | Standardize a queue or reporting view across a team. Creating and editing organization Smartviews requires the appropriate permissions. |
| **All** | Every user | Start from a broad view of every deal you already have permission to access. The global **All** Smartview cannot be deleted. |

<Note>
  An organization Smartview shares only its columns, filters, and sorting. It does not grant access to additional deals. Each user sees only the deals they already have permission to access.
</Note>

## Create a Smartview

1. In the Lendflow Dashboard, open the **Deals** tab in the left-side menu, then select **Configure Deals Smartviews**.

3. Enter a **Tab Name**.
4. Select the **Columns**, **Filters**, and **Sorting** needed for the job the Smartview should support.
5. Select **Save Smartview** or **Save Organization Smartview**.

Active Smartviews appear in the left-side Smartviews menu on the **Deals** page. You can pin a Smartview so that it appears in the **Pinned** category at the top of the list.

Open **Configure Deals Smartviews** again when you need to edit a Smartview or control which Smartviews appear in the menu. At least one Smartview must remain visible.

## FAQ

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="What is the difference between My Smartviews and Organization Smartviews?">
    A Smartview under **My Smartviews** is private to you. An organization Smartview shares its columns, filters, and sorting with other users in your organization who can access it. Creating or editing an organization Smartview requires the appropriate permissions.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Does an organization Smartview give users access to more deals?">
    No. A shared Smartview changes how accessible deals are displayed. Each user still sees only the deals that their Lendflow account allows them to access.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Why can I not hide my last visible Smartview?">
    The **Deals** page requires at least one visible Smartview. Make another Smartview visible before hiding the current one.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Which columns and filters should I use?">
    Start with the decision or task the Smartview should support. Include only the columns needed for that task, then add filters to define which deals belong in the queue. See [Use Cases](/lendflow-external/docs/smartview-use-cases) for examples.
