A List View is grouping of records based on a defined set of criteria. List Views are beneficial for displaying specific data according to your business requirements. For example, you may be interested to review overdue tasks or you may want to filter out big jobs. The best way to handle these scenarios is to filter the records using the list views. You can also use the List Views for changing record owners, deleting records in bulk and sending mass emails.
Zoho Workerly provides a set of Standard list views that are ready to be used by all the users in your organization. In addition, you can also create list views and share with colleagues in your organization.
List views are categorized under Created By Me and Shared With Me. You can also mark list views that you often use as Favorites and those will be listed first in the List View drop-down. Just click the Star next to a list view and it will available under Favorites.
In the <Module> Home page, you can select the required list view from the View drop-down list. You can only rearrange the order of the columns or add more columns to the standard view modes. Some of the standard list views are: All Records, My Records, Recently Create Records, Recently Modified Records, Recently Viewed Records, etc.
You can create custom list views in Zoho Workerly by defining criteria as per your requirement. The custom views created by the user will be listed under the Created By Me in the drop-down list.
Permission Required: Users with the Manage Custom Views permission can access this feature.
To create custom views,
In the Specify Criteria section you can specify the criteria based on which records will be filters and under this list view. The following table lists the criteria options for certain types of fields:
Field Type | Criteria Options | ||

In the Choose Columns section, select the columns to be displayed in the List View from the Available Columns list box. After selecting the columns you can change the order of the columns or remove unnecessary columns from the Selected Columns list box.
Note
In the Accessibility Details section, define the user's accessibility to view the custom lists. The following options are available:
Zoho Workerly allows you to select all records that belong to a particular custom view in one shot.
Consider this scenario. You wish to change the record owner of all Temps in the custom view called Recently created Temps. Say you have over 20000 Temps in this custom view- it's a hassle to navigate to the "Next" page and select all Temps on every page.
Rather, you can simply click the Select All [Records] in this View link and all the 20000 Temps will be selected in one shot and you can change owner for all these records easily.
To select all records in a custom view
Once all the records in that custom list view are selected, you can perform the following bulk operations on those Temps.
After you have applied a mass update/change owner/delete action, the progress bar will let you know about the status of the update.

The information in this field can be used in the List View criteria, to filter out records that had no activity for a specific period of time or those records that had recent activities.
