Is it possible to reuse views?

1

Hi there:)

When I create 5~10 views, I would like to reuse some views because I just change only Filter and Sort.

My view has many fields so it takes a lot of time…

What should I do?

Hi Masa.

It’s the same account name.

In kintone, we have not functions to copy Views data.
It would be a probable function we should have.

Refer to an example shown below to change View data.
It would make you easier to have your expected applications.

Example:

(1)Make a view to copy and update it later.

(2)Obtain information(Fields information) in it(a view) by an API.

(3)Update a view made in (1) based on the information obtained in (2).

  var body = {
    “app”: App ID,
    “views”: {
      “<View Name>”: {
        “index”: “0”,
        “type”: “<View Type>”,
        “name”: “<View Name>”,
        “fields”: [
          //Field codes in a view
          “Record_number”,
          “Text__single_line_”
        ],
        “sort”: “Record_number asc”
      }
   }
  };

  kintone.api(kintone.api.url(’/k/v1/preview/app/views’, true), ‘PUT’, body, function(resp) {
      // success
      console.log(resp);
  });

(4)Update an application.
    var body = {
      “apps”: [{“app”: 2810}],
      “revert”: false
    };

   kintone.api(kintone.api.url(’/k/v1/preview/app/deploy’, true), ‘POST’, body, function(resp) {
     // success
      console.log(resp);
   });

We have explanation pages for details about API, listed below:
*CAUTION*
They are all in Japanese.

Oh, sorry.

Other than a procedure shown before, in this case,
after you opened a purposed view, and set conditions to filter,
 then you can register a view by clicking the “save” button
 at the lower-right section in a screen.

Oh second one looks easy for me!

but I can’t find “save” button in this screenshot…

What else can I do?

This is an additional information.
According to kintone specifications, the “Save” button could
be shown for users with administrative privilege.

So, to show the “Save” button, start as a user with administrative privilege, or,
give a current user the “Manage app” right in
“Permissions for App” options.

I can find the “Save” button on the bottom!
Thank you so much:)
