You can filter the AlertSite UXM Dashboard to show only the monitors and monitor groups you are interested in. For example, you can see only monitors in error, or only monitors with a specific name prefix. Use the Open Filter Options button on the toolbar or the blue Add Filter button to open the filter options or choose which type of data you want to view. Find more information about that below.

Filters can be saved as custom views for later use. Views are shared among all users in your AlertSite account, and are listed under the Select a View menu at the top of the dashboard. You can quickly switch between them and set a default view.

Default view
Default view is activated by default when you open the dashboard. The default view is indicated by the solid bookmark icon in the view settings. Default views are user-specific and each user can have their own default view.
| Tip: | For your default view, select only the monitors you are responsible for or must focus on. |
When you create a view, there is an option to set it as the default one. You can also change your default view at any time.
Public and private views
Views can be public (shared) and private, which determines who can see them.
public views are shared with all users in your AlertSite account. This is the default option for new views. Public views can contain both public and private monitor groups, but private groups are visible only to the group owners. Other users will see only the public groups in this view.
private views are visible only to you (the logged-in user) and not other users.
