Saving a view allows you to keep hold of your filter settings for future use. This is particularly useful if you have configured multiple filters (text-based, date-based, or numeric-based) on your dashboard.

You can save your settings in two ways: by creating a new view (Save As) or by replacing an existing one (Overwrite). The option to choose depends on whether you are a dashboard owner or not.

It is also important to know if you are working with a Global View, set up and managed by the Dashboard Owner, or a Personal View, which is customized by and for you. Personal Views are only visible to you when logged in.
