A custom view is specific to the author that created it. For example, if Author_A creates a view called CustomView1, Author_B will not have this view in their list. However, an author can share any custom view with another author by distributing a copy of a view file from the local cache on their computer. Any author who receives a shared custom view will need to copy the view file to the local data storage location on their computer. 


You can determine the location of the local data storage location when you create a login profile for the first time. The complete path of the local data storage location is displayed on the Summary page of the Login Profile Wizard for reference.


To share a custom view:

  1. Navigate to the ViewFilters\<language code> folder in your local data storage location.
     
  2. Copy the XML file with the same name as the custom view that you want to share.
     
  3. Distribute this file to another author and have that person copy the XML file to their local data storage location in the ViewFilters\<language code> folder on their computer.
     
    The author receiving the shared view should close and restart the Developer to refresh their list of views.
