# Create a custom view for CWM Boards

Modify Board display preferences and save them as custom personal or shared views that suit the working preferences for you and your team members in Collaborative Work Management \(CWM\).

## Before you begin

[Create a Board in CWM](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/it-business-management/collaborative-work-management/create-boards-in-cwm.md).

Role required: sn\_cwm.cwm\_user

## About this task

Use the personalization settings to change how the data is presented on a CWM Board and save the changes as a new view. You can create a different custom view for each of the List, Gantt, and Kanban view modes or save them all into a single view.

## Procedure

1.  Navigate to **Workspaces** > **Collaborative Work Management**.

2.  From a Space, select a Board that you want to create a view for.

3.  Modify the display preferences of the Board data using the personalization settings, sorting, filtering, and adding custom columns.

    For more information, see [Personalize List, Gantt and Kanban display for CWM Boards](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/it-business-management/collaborative-work-management/personalize-cwm-board-views.md).

4.  Select the More actions icon \(\[Omitted image "cwm-icon-views-save-options.png"\] Alt text: More actions icon.\) of the Save view menu and choose **Save as new view**.

    \[Omitted image "cwm-views-save-as-new.png"\] Alt text: Save as new view.

5.  Enter a name for this view and choose to make it a shared view or keep it a personal view.

    Shared views are available for all members who have access to this Board. Not selecting this option saves this view as a new personal view that's only available to you.

    \[Omitted image "cwm-views-create-new.png"\] Alt text: Create view.

6.  Select **Create**.


## Result

The new view is available in the view switcher.
