Shipments

Views

Save shipment filters as private or public tabs, hide them, and bring them back.

Intro

Views save a filter set under a name. They appear as tabs beside All at the top of the list, so tomorrow’s queue is one click — no rebuilding filters.

Purpose

Warehouses run on repeatable queues: “Ship today”, “VIP awaiting”, “Fragile”, “Provider sync failed”. Views make those queues part of the UI instead of tribal knowledge.

How it helps

  • Everyone works the same queue definitions
  • New staff click a tab instead of learning seven filter fields
  • A manager updates the view’s filters once — the whole team gets it

How to create a view

  1. Open a Shipments list.
  2. Build your criteria with Filter → Apply Filters.
  3. Confirm the list looks right.
  4. Click Save view and name it clearly.
  5. The tab appears next to All, with a count of the shipments it matches on this list. The count updates about once a minute, and right after a shipment is shipped, held or released. Changing page or sort does not recount, and the count queries wait until the shipment list itself has finished loading.

Save view shows when filters are active and you are not already on a named view. In the dialog, Visible to is Just me (a private tab, only your account) or Everyone on this store (a public tab). Public tabs show a Public badge.

A new view also stores the sort that is applied and the columns and column widths you have on screen. Change the columns later with Save current columns on the tab menu; change the sort with Update in the Filter popover.

While a view is selected

Open Filter. The footer has three actions:

ButtonWhat it does
UpdateOverwrites the selected view with the criteria in the popover
Save As NewLeaves the selected view as it is and saves the criteria as a new tab
Apply FiltersRuns the criteria without saving

Use and manage views

  • Click a view tab to load its queue; click All to go back to the default scope.
  • The ⋯ menu on a tab starts with Private — only you or Public — everyone on this store.

Hidden filters

Hiding is per person. Open ⋯ on the All tab and choose Hidden filters. Each row is marked Private or Public. Show puts it back on your tabs.

A view stores filters, the sort, and, once you save them, columns. Hiding a tab never deletes it.
