View and filter records on an object index page

Create and customize saved views within HubSpot. Tailor data displays for more efficient management. Create, modify, and organize views to better suit individual needs and workflow.

 

Each CRM object in HubSpot (contacts, companies, deals, and tickets) has an index page that displays the object’s records. Depending on your subscription, you can also filter and segment your custom object, call, and payment records on their respective index pages.

These index pages also include actions and filters you can use to customize and segment your records. Learn more about creating CRM records in HubSpot.

The list view shows all records in a table, while board view shows records moving through the stages of a pipeline. 

  • When navigating to an object index page, you’ll be brought to the default view for the object. When you first navigate to the index page, the default view shows the entire list of object records, but you can edit your default view. If you're a super admin, you can also set the default view for new users.

  • To locate a specific record, enter a search term in the search box in the top left of the view.
  • To change the order of your records, you can sort them based on a property. Click the property's column header to sort by that property. Learn how to customize which properties appear as columns, or how to sort records in board view.
  • To select a saved view:

    • To access an open view, click the view's tab.

    • To open a saved view not shown as a tab, click +Add view, then select a view from the dropdown menu.

    • If you’re in board view, click the [Current view name] dropdown menu, then select a view.

  • If you're viewing deals, a summary of the view's amount properties will appear above the table or board. To hide this summary, click Hide insights in the top right. If it's already hidden, click Show insights to display the summary again.
  • To preview a record, hover over the record and click Preview. The right panel will display the About this [record] section properties, pinned, recent, and upcoming activities, as well as the record's associations and attachments.
  • To access a record, click the record name. 

Filter records and save views

For each object, you can segment records based on that object's properties. 

  • Navigate to your records or a specific view.
  • To add or change the filters in the view, use the property dropdown menus at the top of the table or board:

    • To filter by a common default property, click the default property dropdown menus above the table (e.g., Contact owner, Create date, Last activity date, Lead status for contacts) and select filter criteria.

    • To filter by the object's other properties, click Advanced filters. In the right panel:

      • If you have quick filters selected, they'll appear at the top. Click Hide to remove them from the panel. 
      • Click +Add filter to set up a new filter, then search for and select the property you want to filter by.

      • Set criteria for the selected property, then click Apply filter. Learn more about setting criteria.

      • To select another property, click AND or OR. When you set a filter with AND, records must meet all of the criteria in the filter group in order to be included in the view. When you select OR, the records must meet the criteria in at least one filter group to be included in the view.

      • To duplicate a group of filters, click Clone above the group. When you clone a group, the new duplicate group will follow OR logic.
      • To remove a property, hover over the filter and click the delete delete icon.

      • To remove a group of filters, click Delete above the group.
      • Once you’re done, click the X in the top right corner.

    • To save these filters and settings as a new view, click Save as new. In the dialog box, enter a view name, select a visibility setting, then click Save.

    • To reset the current view to its original saved filters, select Reset. This will remove any new filters you've applied to it.

Once you’ve set filters, learn more about bulk editing records from an index page.

Select filter criteria

 On each index page, you can only filter by that object’s properties.

To set your criteria in a view, click Advanced filters, then in the right panel, select a property. Depending on the property's field type, choose an option to set criteria for that property:

  • contains exactly: enter a value. A record’s property value must contain the exact text entered to be included in the view. To search for a value with multiple words in a specific order, or including non-English characters, you'll need to enter your value in double quotes (e.g., "HubSpot knowledge base") to filter for an exact match.

Please note: non-alphanumeric characters included in criteria values are treated as delimiters, not as characters themselves. For example, filtering by HubSpot_knowledge_base> will search for values containing HubSpot, knowledge, and base, treating the _ and > as spaces. Even if you use double quotes, such as "HubSpot_knowledge_base>", it will search for values containing "HubSpot knowledge base" in that exact order, but not for values containing the other characters.

  • doesn’t contain exactly: enter a value. A record’s property value must not contain the exact text entered to be included in the view. Records with no value for the property will also be included.

  • is: for Date properties, select from predetermined options (e.g., Today, Yesterday, Last quarter). A record’s property value must be within the selected time frame to be included in the view.

  • is after: for Date picker properties, select a date on the calendar. A record’s property must have a date value that is after the selected date to be included in the view.

  • is any of: select multiple values. A record’s property must have at least one of these values to be included in the view.

  • is before: for Date picker properties, select a date on the calendar. A record’s property must have a date value that is before the selected date to be included in the view.

  • is between: for Date picker properties, select two dates on the calendar. A record’s property must have a date value that is equal to or after the first selected date and equal to or before the second selected date to be included in the view.

  • is (not) equal to: enter or select a value. A record’s property must (not) be equal to this value to be included in the view. If you’ve selected is not equal to, records with no value for the property will also be included.

  • is greater than: for Numerical properties, enter a number. A record’s property must have a value that is greater than the entered number value to be included in the view.

  • is greater than or equal to: for Numerical properties, enter a number. A record’s property must have a value that is greater than or equal to the entered number value to be included in the view.

  • is known: all records with a value for the property will be included in the view.

  • is less than [x] days: for Date properties, enter a number, then select days ago or days from now. A record's property must have a date value less than that number of days before or after today's date to be included in the view.
