    Posted on August 30th, 2006 mitch Print Print 4 comments

    If you would like to globally change the default View for an entity within CRM, perform the following steps from the CRM Web Client logged on as someone who has at least the System Customizer role:

    1. Select Settings, Customization.
    2. Edit the Entity you wish to change.
    3. Select the Forms and Views page.
    4. Click once on the View you wish to make the Default.
    5. Click the More Actions button.
    6. Click Set Default.
    7. Click save and close
    8. Click Publish.
    9. Navigate back to a CRM area where that entity is visible.
    10. Click on the Entity to show its contents.
    11. Verify that the View: is what you just selected in step 4.

    That's it.

    1. Hi,

      Thanks in advance

    2. Unfortunately, there is no way to do what you wish. It is a common request, so you're not alone.

      Thanks, Mitch

    3. Hi,

      It is possible to set the default public view based on a user's security role using a plug-in. See here: http://lovepeaceandcrm.blogspot.com/2009/02/changing-system-view-defaultvisibilty.html

    4. Possibly. You would need to connect to the retreivemultple message. I've heard of people doing this but never attempted it myself.

      Thanks, Mitch
