Table of Contents
Views allow you to save a combination of Filters, Sorting, Column Configurations, and Display Type as a new tab in your Index pages, allowing you to easily access the data you need with a single click.
Saved Views are available on these index pages, with more coming in the future:
- Equipment
- Issues
- Parts
- Service History
- Vehicles
- Vendors
- Work Orders
There are three types of Views in Fleetio:
-
Standard View - A default View in Fleetio. Typically, this is an All tab showing All data. Individual index pages also contain their own specific Standard Views:
- For Equipment, these are the Assigned, Unassigned, and Archived tabs.
- For Issues, these are the Open, Overdue, Resolved, and Closed tabs.
- For Parts, these are the Part Locations you have access to according to your permissions.
- For Service History, this is the All tab showing all Service Entries
- If you're using the Maintenance Shop Integration, you will also see tabs for your Pending and Completed Service Entries.
- For Vehicles, these are the Assigned, Unassigned, and Archived tabs.
- For Vendors, these are Vendor Classifications.
- For Work Orders, these will be your organization's Work Order Statuses (Open, Pending, Completed, etc.)
- Personal View - A View that you have created for your own use.
- Shared View - A Personal View that has been shared with other Users.
PERMISSIONS: Standard Views are available with all Fleetio plans. Personal and Shared Views are only available with the Professional and Premium Fleetio plans.
Create a New View
There are two ways to create a new View: by making changes to a Standard View and saving it as a new View or by creating a View from scratch.
Modify a Standard View
Standard views allow you to make minor changes without needing to save them as a new view.
- Minor changes include sorting and adding or removing columns.
- Minor changes will automatically save for Standard Views and will persist for Personal Views.
- You will not be prompted to save minor changes, but you can still do so by following the instructions below.
If a major change is made to a standard view, you will be prompted to save the view. Major changes include updating filters and these index-specific actions:
- Work Orders - Selecting a list, calendar, or resource scheduler Display Type

- Issues - Grouping the list from the Group button

Major changes will not persist if you log out of Fleetio and must be saved as a new view by following the instructions below.
NOTE: Some filters on a Standard View may be grayed out and locked. This is because the data appearing in that view is dependent upon those filters.
To create a new view by modifying a Standard View:
- Select a Standard View tab, then set your desired filters, columns, and sorting options.
- In the example below, we've started with the Tab (a), then filtered by Vehicle Group (b), and sorted by Issue Date (c).

- Click the Save Changes button and select Save as New View.
- You can also click Clear Unsaved Changes to remove your selections.
- Provide a Name and Description for your new View, and if applicable, choose who the View should be Shared with (see Share Views).
- Click Save.

- Your new View will appear as a tab at the top of the Index.

Create a New View from Scratch
To create a new View without starting from a Standard View:
- Click + Add Tab, then click Add View.

- Provide a Name and Description for your new View, and if applicable, choose who the View should be Shared with (see Share Views).
- Click Save.

- Your new View will appear as a tab at the top of the index.

- Next, you can select your filters, sort, and change your column layout.
- When you're ready to save your changes, click Save Changes and select Save Changes.
- Select Save as New View to save your selections as a new View, or Clear Unsaved Changes to remove your selections.
