About Views and the View Library

The views that you can apply to projects display in the view Library. When you click a view, the displayed project view is replaced with that view. You can simultaneously display project data in different views.

The view Library can display up to 32 groups of views, each of which can contain views, sorts, and filters. When you choose a group, the View Library displays icons representing views, sorts, and filters, which you can then click and apply to a project.
