To create a new view, go to the collection of icons in the upper-right hand side of the page and click on the "+" page icon. Text will appear when you hover over the icon, confirming that selecting this option allows you to create a new view.

A new window will pop up, allowing you to create your view. We've named our view "Avantalytics Example View" and we can see a couple of drop down menu items. The one that is selected by default is the "Create New" option, which allows you to create a view from scratch. We'll talk about the other options in a moment, so for now, just click "OK."

What you now see is a blank, default view, ready to be customized with insight panels. The blue dashed lines show you where you “drop” your panel. When you click and drag a panel and get close to a designated area, a "Drop Here" prompt will appear. Releasing the mouse when you see this will snap your panel to the grid and the panel will begin to load. You can practice this with the State Sales Heat Map, located under the Sales Insight section.

Once you've dragged your State Sales Heat Map to your view and allowed it to lock and load, you should get something that looks like the below image. Feel free to play around with adding different insight panels. If you want to get rid of any, each panel has an "X" located in the upper right hand corner. Clicking this will delete the panel.

Clicking the "+" brings up an accordion-style list of all of the categories of insight panels. Clicking on any of the names expands the accordion. We've clicked on "Sales Insights" and the list of individual insight panels comes up. Clicking on any panel name gives you a preview and a short description of the insight panel, making it quicker and easier to assemble your views with the exact types of views you want. Let's try adding the State Sales Heat Map now. We add the panel to the view by either double clicking "State Sales Heat Map" or by clicking the "Add Insight" button, located beneath the preview of the State Sales Heat Map.

You can repeat this same process with other insight panels anywhere adjacent to the existing panel - in this instance to the right and below the State Sales Heat Map. There is a blue band on the top of every insight panel You can re-arrange and swap panels around once they’re on your view simply by clicking anywhere on that blue band and dragging them around.

Views don't automatically save. If you want to save a view so that it loads next time you log in, you must click the "Save View" located on the upper right hand corner of the view. ![noview_createnew](https://docs.avantalytics.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/noview_createnew.jpg)

Now, anytime you login, the display you just created will automatically load with the latest sales figures. If you want to change the view, drag around, add and delete the panels you'd like, and press "Save View" again to commit the changes.
Once the default view is created, you can repeat this whole process to make as many more , custom named views as you like using the exact same process described here!
