Create and save custom views
How to build a viewViewA reusable, named saved state — columns, filters, sort, location scope, and forecast settings (model, history period, growth amplifiers, safety stock). Views are the unit of reusable analysis across Logistified: they power the Forecast page, Notifications (which variants to alert on), Reports (which variants to email about), and PO creation (which variants to order from). Most operators build many views — one per real-world question (overdue reorders, slow movers, single-supplier batches) — and switch between them depending on what they're doing.
