Create Custom Views

To create the custom view, open the section from which it will be created, click to display options, and choose Create view.

In any view, the columns that are displayed can be modified, added or removed. Uncheck a column to filter it out, or check it to display the column in the view. Once the desired columns selection is set, it is automatically saved to the user's profile. Even if the user was to close the Commvault Command Center^TM, on the next login, the same column selection is applied.

Filters can be applied to most views. The option to apply filters must first be toggled on before selecting the desired filters from the column header drop-down list. One of many filters can be applied to one or many columns.

Once filters are no longer required, they can be cleared to return to the default view.
