# The Details Screen: Custom View

## Overview

When working with [Groups and Indicators](https://knowledge.threatconnect.com/docs/the-threatconnect-data-model) in ThreatConnect®, you can use the **Custom View**tab on the [**Details**screen](https://knowledge.threatconnect.com/docs/the-details-screen) to display a customized view of the data that matter most to you, allowing you to make decisions more quickly during an investigation involving these object types. Each ThreatConnect user can configure two **Custom View**tabs for their user account: one for all Groups in all of their owners, and one for all Indicators in all of their owners.

As you configure the **Custom View**tab for Groups or Indicators, you can customize the tab’s layout, select which cards to show on the tab, and specify whether to display the tab by default each time you open the **Details**screen. After you configure a **Custom View**tab, you can export the tab’s configuration and share it with other users so that they can import it into their user account.

NoteThe **Custom View**tab is not available on the [legacy **Details**screen](https://knowledge.threatconnect.com/docs/the-details-screen-legacy).

## Before You Start

### User Roles

- To access and manage the **Custom View**tab for Groups and Indicators, your user account can have any [Organization role](https://knowledge.threatconnect.com/docs/organization-roles).
- To export and import **Custom View**tab configuration files, your user account can have any Organization role.
- To set a custom view as the Organization’s default custom view, your user account must have an Organization role of Organization Administrator.

### Prerequisites

- For the [**Tags Across Owners** card](https://knowledge.threatconnect.com/docs/applying-tags#tags-across-owners-card) [](https://knowledge.threatconnect.com/docs/applying-tags#tags-across-owners-card)**[](https://knowledge.threatconnect.com/docs/applying-tags#tags-across-owners-card)** to be available to add to the **Indicator: Custom View**tab, turn on the **multiSourceViewEnabled**system setting (must be a System Administrator to perform this action).

## Accessing and Managing a Custom View Tab

Follow the steps in this section to access and configure the **Group: Custom View**and **Indicator: Custom View**tabs on the **Details**screen for Groups and Indicators, respectively.

1. [Navigate to the **Details**screen](https://knowledge.threatconnect.com/docs/the-details-screen#viewing-the-details-screen) for a Group or an Indicator.
2. Select the **Custom View**tab. If you are accessing this tab for the first time, it will display no cards.
3. Click **Manage View**on the **Custom View**tab to open the **Manage View**drawer (Figure 1). Then use the following options to configure the **Custom View**tab:  
![Figure 1_The Details Screen - Custom View_7.5.0](https://cdn.document360.io/dfc206c8-1c9f-4725-b74d-a66f83432320/Images/Documentation/Figure%201_The%20Details%20Screen%20-%20Custom%20View_7.7.0.png)
  - **Set this custom tab as the default tab for all <*object type*> details**: (Optional) Select this checkbox to display the **Custom View**tab instead of the **Overview**tab when you open the **Details**screen for the corresponding object type (Indicator in this example).
  - **Enable org default view**: If a [default custom view has been set for the corresponding object type in your Organization](/docs/the-details-screen-custom-view#setting-a-default-custom-view-for-your-organization), select this checkbox to use the Organization’s default custom view. If this checkbox is selected, clear it to use your last saved custom view.NoteYou cannot edit the contents or layout of the Organization’s default custom view using the **Manage View**drawer.NoteIf a default custom view has not been set for the corresponding object type in your Organization, the **Enable org default view**checkbox will be grayed out.
  - **Layout**: [Select the layout](/docs/the-details-screen-custom-view#selecting-a-custom-view-tab-layout) of the **Custom View**tab.
  - **+ Add Cards**: Click this button to [add cards](/docs/the-details-screen-custom-view#adding-cards-to-a-custom-view-tab) to the **Custom View**tab.

![](https://cdn.document360.io/dfc206c8-1c9f-4725-b74d-a66f83432320/Images/Documentation/Figure%202_The%20Details%20Screen%20-%20Custom%20View_7.6.0.png)

NoteIf you are viewing an Indicator that does not exist in your Organization and your user account has an [Organization role](https://knowledge.threatconnect.com/docs/organization-roles) of Standard User, Sharing User, Organization Administrator, or App Developer, the Indicator’s **Details**screen will display a message stating the Indicator does not exist in your Organization and provide a link to create a copy of the Indicator in your Organization. If you click this link, the **Details**screen will show details for the copy of the Indicator in your Organization after it is created. In addition, if your System Administrator turned on the **multiSourceViewEnabled**system setting, your Organization will be listed on the [**Tags Across Owners** card](https://knowledge.threatconnect.com/docs/applying-tags#tags-across-owners-card) for the Indicator in addition to the Indicator’s other owners to which you have access.

## Selecting a Custom View Tab Layout

When managing a **Custom View**tab, you can select one of the following tab layout options from the **Layout**dropdown on the **Manage View**drawer (Figure 1):

- **1 Column - 100**: One-column layout that takes up 100% of the available width
- **2 Columns - 50/50**(default): Two-column layout where each column takes up 50% of the available width
- **2 Columns - 60/40**: Two-column layout where the leftmost column takes up 60% of the available width and the rightmost column takes up the remaining 40%
- **2 Columns - 40/60**: Two-column layout where the leftmost column takes up 40% of the available width and the rightmost column takes up the remaining 60%

## Adding Cards to a Custom View Tab

A **Custom View**tab consists of one or more cards that display a variety of data that belong to the object whose **Details**screen you are viewing. When managing a **Custom View**tab, you can configure which cards to display on the tab and organize the layout of the cards via the **Manage View**drawer (Figure 1).

1. On the **Manage View**drawer, click **+ Add Cards**to open the **Add Cards**window (Figure 3). This window shows all cards not added to the **Custom View**tab for the object type (Indicator in this example). In addition, the **Applicable Types**column shows the object types for which each card is available.NoteIf you added all available cards to a **Custom View**tab, the **+ Add Cards**button will be grayed out.![](https://cdn.document360.io/dfc206c8-1c9f-4725-b74d-a66f83432320/Images/Documentation/Figure%203_The%20Details%20Screen%20-%20Custom%20View_7.5.0.png)
  - Select one or more cards to add to the **Custom View**tab. As you select cards, the **Selected**button at the top left of the window will update to reflect the current number of selected items. When at least one card is selected, you can click the **Selected**or **Clear Selection**button to view only the selected items or clear all selections, respectively.NoteTo select all available cards, select the checkbox in the table header.
  - Click the **Add Cards**button.
2. The **Manage View**drawer will display the cards selected on the **Add Cards**window (Figure 4). Here, you can organize the order of the cards on the **Custom View**tab by clicking and dragging cards to the desired position. If you selected a two-column layout for the **Custom View**tab, you can also click and drag cards to the desired column. To remove a card from the layout, click **Delete![Delete button_Details screen](https://cdn.document360.io/dfc206c8-1c9f-4725-b74d-a66f83432320/Images/Documentation/Delete%20button_Details%20screen.png)**on the card.  
![](https://cdn.document360.io/dfc206c8-1c9f-4725-b74d-a66f83432320/Images/Documentation/Figure%204_The%20Details%20Screen%20-%20Custom%20View_7.6.0.png)

ImportantBy default, association-based cards added to a **Custom View**tab using a two-column layout will display a subset of their table columns. While on the **Custom View**tab, click **Select columns![Select columns button](https://cdn.document360.io/dfc206c8-1c9f-4725-b74d-a66f83432320/Images/Documentation/Select%20columns%20button.png)**on an association-based card to manage which table columns the card will display.ImportantCards that apply only to specific object types will list those types under the card’s name in the **Manage View**drawer. If you add one of these cards to a **Custom View**tab, tab will display the card only when viewing the **Details**screen for objects of those types. For example, if you add the **GeoLocation Data**card to the **Indicator: Custom View**tab, the tab will display this card only when viewing the **Details**screen for an Address Indicator.
