# Creating an issues view
<a name="issues-creating-view"></a>

You can create [views](issues-concepts.md#issues-concepts-views-definition) to quickly view issues that match a particular set of filters. This can help you save time and quickly view issues you have previously filtered, grouped, or sorted by.

**To create an issues view**

1. In the navigation pane, choose **Issues**.

1. (Optional) Depending on your use case, you may want to create a view from an existing view. To navigate to a different view, choose **Active issues** to open the **issues view switcher** dropdown menu and choose the view.

1. (Optional) Configure filters, grouping, and sorting before you create your view. You can add these while creating a view, but if you do it before, you can preview what is shown in the view before creating it.

1. Open the **issues view switcher** dropdown menu from the header bar. To create a board view where issues are viewed in columns based on status, choose the **\$1** in the **Board** column. To create a grid view where issues are viewed in a list, choose the **\$1** in the **Grid** column. You can change the type of view before it is created if you change you mind. 

1. In the **Create view** dialog box, enter a **Name** for the view.

1. The **Filters**, **Group issues by**, and **Sort issues by** fields are filled based on the settings of the current view. Update them if necessary.

1. Choose **Create view** to create the view and be switched to it.
