How-to Guide

1. Switch between personal and public views

Entry: Left-side table panel → More Actions next to the target view → Personal View/Public View

  1. Open the target multi-dimensional table.
  2. In the left-side table panel, find the table view that you want to switch.
  3. Click the More Actions button next to that view.
  4. In the drop-down menu, select Personal View/Public View.
  5. Click a blank area in the table to apply the setting.

Success Criteria

  • Interface result: The view type setting is applied.
  • Next action available: You can continue viewing or adjusting the current view.

Tips While Using

  • Common mistake: If you do not click a blank area, the setting may not be applied yet.
  • Environment note: Open the target multi-dimensional table first and locate the correct view before switching it.

2. Check whether a view has been switched to a personal view

Entry: Check the icon shown next to the view after switching

  1. Follow the steps in the previous section to set the target view as a personal view.
  2. Check whether a person icon appears next to the view.
  3. If the person icon appears, the view has been marked as a personal view.

Success Criteria

  • Interface result: A person icon appears next to the view.
  • Next action available: You can continue viewing and adjusting that personal view.

Tips While Using

  • Common mistake: If you do not see the icon, open the More Actions menu again and confirm the current setting.

3. Understand the visibility scope of personal and public views

Entry: Identify who can see the current view type

  1. Open a view in the target multi-dimensional table.
  2. Check whether the current view is a personal view or a public view.
  3. If it is a personal view, only the current user can see it.
  4. If it is a public view, collaborators with viewing permission can see it.
  5. Choose the appropriate view type before collaborating.

Success Criteria

  • Interface result: You can clearly identify the visibility scope of the current view.
  • Next action available: You can keep the current view or switch it based on collaboration needs.
  • No side effect: Switching the view type does not change the shared underlying data source.

Tips While Using

  • Common mistake: Treating a personal view as a team-shared view may cause collaborators to see a different result.
  • Environment note: Whether others can see a public view depends on whether they have viewing permission.
