A view is a page in AODocs that lists AODocs documents (or a subset of documents) from one or all document classes in a library.
Starting with AODocs Release 55, we're rebuilding the views page from the ground up. Learn more about the new views: Use views (beta version) in your AODocs libraries.
Users can access views from the library homepage.

Manage your default views
When you create a Team Folder or Secured Folder, a class named Document and a default view called All documents are created by default.
When you create the first document class in a Document Management library, a default view called All documents is created.
Note: The default view All documents is configured to display all the documents in the first (or only) class created in the library.
As a library administrator, you can configure:
- who can access the view
- which documents are listed, based on predefined filters
- which properties are displayed
- how the list can be further filtered or browsed by users
- how the list is sorted
