Create and Manage Views

Cristina Hernandez Updated by Cristina Hernandez

A View allows you to save your preferred table settings in the table layout of My Colleges, such as filters, sorting, and column arrangement. This makes it easy to quickly access the same layout whenever you need it, without having to reset your preferences every time.

Get started with Views

When you first access the My Colleges page in the table layout, you’ll see a Scoir-provided View as your default. This View features a standard layout with key information to get you started.

To switch between Views or create your own, click the binocular icon. From there, you can easily select, customize, or create new Views to organize and display the data in a way that works best for you.

Scoir provides the following Views to help you get started, with each showing columns relevant to the filters applied:

  • Overview: Displays colleges in the Following, Applying, and Applied lists.
  • Following: Shows colleges the student is currently following.
  • Suggestions: Highlights colleges recommended for the student.
  • Applications: Lists colleges in the Applying and Applied categories.

Any changes you've made to your current view will be preserved, so you can navigate the system without losing this work. If you open a new tab and log in, you'll return to your default view.

While Scoir-provided Views can’t be edited, you can save changes as a new custom View, update or delete custom Views, and set your preferred View as the default at any time
