Predefined and Custom Event Views - New UI

Predefined and Custom Event Views

Time-bound activities like meetups, demonstrations, and customer onboarding frequently happen as part of sales activities. It's easier to find events that have similar attributes with list views. For example, you can view meetings that are scheduled for a specific day, product demonstrations that are completed, or onboarding meetings that are overdue.
 
Zoho Desk provides a list of predefined views and also allows you to create custom views to filter events that match the given criteria. These views can also be shared with the concerned group of people.
 
In addition, event views can be used to:
  1. Change owner
  2. Update two or more events
  3. Export the events lists to a CSV file

Accessing event list views

 Event list views can be accessed from the home screen. The standard event list views available are:
  1. All Events
  2. Canceled Events
  3. Completed Events
  4. My Open Events
  5. My Overdue Events
  6. My Events
  7. My Team Events
  8. Next 7 Days + Overdue
  9. Open Events
  10. Overdue Events
  11. Spam Events
  12. Today + Overdue
  13. Today's Events
  14. Tomorrow's Events
To access the events list
  1. Click the Activities module.
  2. On the Activities home page, click Events at the bottom of the left panel.
  3. Select Standard List View from the left panel to view the events underneath it.
  4. The All Events view will be displayed upon first access.
    The system will remember the last seen view and list the same during successive access.
You must click the subject of an event to view its details.

Types of events list views 

Classic View

The Classic View displays events in a list format, showing details like event name, start date, end date, and status in rows. This view is ideal for a compact, linear display of event records.

Compact View

The Compact View displays events in a condensed list format, showing key details such as subject, start date, contact name, and status in a denser, more space-efficient layout. This view is ideal for agents who prefer to see more event records visible on a single screen.

Table View

The Table View for Events displays event information in a spreadsheet like format, where each row represents an individual event and each column shows specific properties, such as event name, organizer, start date, end date, location, and status. This layout enables agents to efficiently review and manage events without opening individual records.

Notes
Note: The Event ID field is mandatory and cannot be removed. 
To customize the columns in table view
  1. Navigate to the Activities tab and select Events.
  2. Click the Select Columns icon located next to the column header (e.g., Event Name).
  3. In the Select Columns window, choose the fields you want to display, uncheck the unwanted columns, and drag and drop the columns to reorder them.
  4. Click Save to apply the changes.


Info
Points to remember:
  1. Customizations made to the Table View apply to all users with access to the view.
  2. Fields with blank or null values are displayed as a dash ("-").
  3. Multi-line or text area fields cannot be added to the Table View.

Creating custom event list views

You can create custom list views by defining criteria of your own. The custom views created by an agent will be listed on the left menu along with the standard views. Custom views can be edited or deleted.
Notes
Note:
  1. Standard event views cannot be edited.
  2. You can right click on a custom event view to open it in a new tab.
To create a custom list view

  2. On the Activities home page, click Events on the bottom of the left panel.

  4. On the Create Custom View page, enter the custom View Name.
  5. Specify the criteria to filter the events.

  7. Click Create.

List view criteria

 In the Filter Criteria section, you must specify the criteria based on which the events will be filtered under the view.
Info
Tips:
  1. The Age in Days option is very useful for the Date and DateTime fields. It can be used to filter events that were created within the last 7 days or those that are overdue in the past 30 days.
  2. You cannot edit the standard event views that are provided in Zoho Desk. You may add a custom view to address any specific requirements.
  3. You can right click on a custom event view to open the view in a new tab.

  2. Select the given options as per your sorting needs.
    Your list will refresh and display the associated events as per your selected sort by options.

II. Events can be filtered based on the following parameters:

  1. Agent
  1. Start Time

NotesNote: By default, Zoho Desk will display only 10 records (events) per page. However, you can choose the number of records to be displayed on a single page. A maximum of 50 events can be viewed per page. The system will remember your selection the next time you access event views.
