# Custom Views

{% hint style="info" %}
This guide is for **Tableau** only. For Power BI you can use the bookmarks feature which will automatically save the state of your current table.
{% endhint %}

All changes you make to the SuperTables layout can either be stored in the workbook settings (no personal views possible) or in a special dedicated parameter for storing the SaveState of your SuperTable. When using a Parameter to store the Layout Settings you enable your dashboard users to create personal/private views on your published dashboards (Tableau Server / Tableau Online). Please make sure you use a dedicated parameter per SuperTables instance in your workbook, since parameters are global within a workbook. Using the same parameter twice in one workbook might lead to unexpected results! The parameter to store your SuperTables settings can be created by:

* Creating a new parameter
* Using a logical name like “PM Savestate Salesdashboard”
* Setting the “Data type” to: **String**
* Empty the “Current value”
* Setting the option “**All**” for the “**Allowable values**”

* Save/Store your parameter
* Head to the General tab of your SuperTables configuration pane and select the new parameter from the dropdown

#### Custom Views

Create your own custom views of SuperTables! Each user can create their own unique view of their dashboard containing SuperTables. Wish to just see a compact view, sales view or a customer only view? Save as many views as you wish to be easily accessible every time you log in. You can make any view your default as well as making them available for your team!

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.infotopics.com/supertables/features/custom-views.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
