Using a Custom View in a Module

[jmiskey]

We have created our own application, and want to add a menu item to run a custom view (list) we created.   So, I created my own custom view and saved it.   Then, I went to Application Menus, added a new module, and filled out the Link Type tab as such:

So, "Telecom RITM" is the name of the View I created on the Requested Item table.   However, when I tried this, and click on the menu item, it seems to bring up the default view, and not the one I created.   I had thought that View name should be the name of the View I wanted to bring up, but maybe not?   If not, what is this field for?   And can I do what am asking (bring up the View I created from the menu item)?

Thanks

Hi Joe,

Go to System UI> Views and take a look at the view NAME (in the Name column). I suspect you are trying to use the view Title. View names often have underscores replacing the spaces and may have lower case or even a different name (e.g. ess = Self Service).

Ha!   You are exactly right!   What a rookie move on my part!

I made the change and it works beautifully!

Thanks!!!

Don't feel bad. We all do stuff like that - even after 30 years. That's why it's always nice to have a community on your side.

Hi There,

I am having a similar issue and was curious if I could get some feedback. I created a custom view and I'm not sure how to edit the default filter with the view. Currently the view is displaying active is true and I need it to display active is false instead.
