Salesforce offers a variety of list views that can be used to quickly filter and view data. Salesforce offers several pre-made lists, as well as the possibility for users to create their list views. This post will give you an overview of Salesforce list views as well as the process of creating them.

What are Salesforce List views?

Salesforce list views can be used by Salesforce administrators to consolidate data. They enable users to view the details of multiple records simultaneously and filter them by criteria such as due date or status.

Salesforce offers many list views built in, but Salesforce administrators can also create custom lists that meet specific criteria.

Salesforce allows you to create custom objects in your CRM. List views allow you to filter Salesforce data using criteria like date range, status, etc. These filters can be applied to the list view and reports created from it.

There are several types of Salesforce lists. These include standard lists, related (lists that link to other Salesforce records), summary-type reports (reports that aggregate data), and summary-type reports.

This blog post will be about these three types of list views.

1. Standard Lists

Salesforce standard lists are pre-built lists that Salesforce offers. These lists can be populated with data that Salesforce objects you create. These lists can be used to view, filter, and export data. There are many types of standard lists: Accounts, Contacts, and Opportunities.

2. Summary Reports

Salesforce summary reports are a list that aggregates data from multiple Salesforce objects. Summary reports can be used to view summarized data such as the number of Opportunities at a stage, or the average time it takes for an Opportunity to close.

3. Similar Lists:

Salesforce-related lists allow you to see data from other Salesforce objects. The Salesforce objects you specify are used to populate related lists. You can create a similar list for Accounts to display all Contacts associated with these Accounts.

Creating a Standard Salesforce List View

Navigate to Salesforce List Views. Navigate to the Salesforce List Views page. This button is not visible if you don’t see it. It means you are viewing all Salesforce lists and standard list views for your company. This will open the “New Standard View” wizard, which has many options under different tabs.

The first tab is General. This allows administrators to name their Salesforce list and to specify whether users can access it via Reports & Dashboards, Leads/Opportunities, or both.

Administrators can also opt-in for daily email updates to be notified when Salesforce data is updated.

Column one is the second tab. This allows administrators to choose which Salesforce objects or fields should be included in their standard Salesforce list view.

Any custom fields you have created for your company’s Sales Cloud Service Cloud, Marketing Cloud, or Custom Objects can be included here.

The third tab in this wizard is Limits. Administrators can specify how many records should be displayed per page when users view a report that uses the new Standard SalesForce ListView. After entering all information, click the Save & Next button.

Administrators can select the page layout that Salesforce List View users should be able to access when they view their Salesforce list view.

If none of the layouts they like, they can create a custom Salesforce Page Layout.

After all the steps have been completed, administrators will need to specify whether this new SalesForce view should be made available for leads or opportunities. You will see your newly created Sales Cloud view under the standard views section after clicking the Save button.

If there are no records here, this means that there isn’t any data in the Sales Cloud objects associated with your Standard SalesForce View yet. This is because lists take time to populate once they are created.

Creating Salesforce Custom List View

Administrators have the option to create custom views in addition to the standard views. To do this, they’ll need to use the Salesforce Query Language (SQL” which is a language that allows you to query Salesforce objects.

SQL allows you to select the Salesforce objects you wish your custom SalesForce view to include. You can also specify filters and sorting criteria.

Here is an example SQL code to create a custom list view called Accounts with at least 1 contact.

SELECT ID, Name, Contact__c Account

After creating the Salesforce list view, you can add it to the Sales Cloud objects associated with your SalesForce custom view.

Open an existing Lead/Opportunity or create one new, then click on the tab “Customize”, and choose the List Views section at the top of the screen.

Click the New button to bring up all Standard SalesForce and Custom SalesForce lists. This allows users to select when viewing Salesforce Leads/Opportunities. You can check the Accounts with At Least 1 Contact option in the column filters dropdown menu. Done!

Creating Salesforce Checkbox-Based List View:

Administrators can create custom list views that are based on Salesforce Cloud objects. It is quite simple: users can select multiple items from one set.

Administrators can choose which fields will be displayed in their SalesForce custom-checkbox-based list view by clicking the first tab, “Fields”. It is not possible to include custom or standard fields here, as we could when creating regular SalesCloud lists.

The second tab allows you to specify the organization-wide defaults that your newly created Sales Cloud Object must have. This includes details such as how many decimal points Salesforce should round up and how many are permitted.

The last tab allows you to specify whether Salesforce Checkbox-based list views will be available for Opportunities and Leads.

Where can I find Salesforce list views?

These are found in Salesforce Setup. Administrators can access this area to create, use, and deploy. They can also access Salesforce Checkbox-based list views from this area.
