# Table views

**Table views** save a table's filters, search, sort, and column layout as a named preset you can reopen with one click. Views are stored per project, so any member of the project can pick the same preset from the dropdown.

![Table views picker open above the traces table](https://mintcdn.com/laminarai/JUIDucLXbPPel4Lc/images/platform/table-views/picker.png?fit=max\&auto=format\&n=JUIDucLXbPPel4Lc\&q=85\&s=a62f6c710e3ecf1d811e3687a378f753)

The view picker on the traces table, with three saved views.

Each view is scoped to one table (Traces, Spans, Sessions, Evaluations, and the others), so saving a view on Traces never clutters the dropdown on Spans.

## Save a view

Set up the table the way you want it. The picker shows an amber dot when the current state has drifted from any saved view; open it and the **Unsaved changes** section appears:

* **Save changes** writes back to the active view.
* **Save as new view** prompts for a name.
* **Discard changes** reverts to the active view (or to `Default view` if none is loaded).

The Unsaved changes section appears when the table state has drifted from the active view.

## Example: Most expensive traces

Sort the Traces table by Cost descending, hide the columns you don't need (root output, tags, metadata, session/user id), and save it as **High-cost traces**. Anyone in the project opening the Traces tab can pick that view from the dropdown to land on the same focused table.
