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”: {       “\”: {         “index”: “0”,         “type”: “\”,         “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. #To obtain settings in Views   [https://cybozudev.zendesk.com/hc/ja/articles/204529784](https://cybozudev.zendesk.com/hc/ja/articles/204529784) #To change settings in Views   [https://cybozudev.zendesk.com/hc/ja/articles/204529794](https://cybozudev.zendesk.com/hc/ja/articles/204529794) #To adopt application settings in a working system environment   [https://cybozudev.zendesk.com/hc/ja/articles/204699420](https://cybozudev.zendesk.com/hc/ja/articles/204699420) ---

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. ---

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:) ![](https://developer.kintone.io/hc/user_images/We3pEy2icTRXkNRVvXYPEg.png) ---
