Use custom views to organize your contacts in HoneyBook

Learn how to use custom views in HoneyBook to save filtered contact lists, organize workflows, and share views across your team

Updated this week

Custom views in HoneyBook’s Contacts page make it easier to organize and manage your relationships in HoneyBook. Instead of rebuilding filters every time, you can save reusable, filtered lists of contacts—so you can quickly return to leads, clients, or follow-ups whenever you need.

Before you start

  • You can create up to 5 custom views per company

  • All views are shared across your team—everyone sees the same list of views

  • Any team member can edit or delete shared views. Those changes apply to all users.

  • Filters and sorting are personal to each user—adjusting them won’t affect teammates

  • Column order syncs across the whole team, but can differ by view if you drag and drop to reorder columns

  • Custom views are currently only available on HoneyBook’s desktop site

📚 Tip

Custom views act as “persistent homes” for your workflows—like follow-ups, warm leads, or active clients—so you always start with the contacts that matter most.


What custom views are and how they work

Custom views are saved, reusable versions of filtered contact lists. You can think of them as mini workspaces inside your Contacts page. They turn filters, sorting, and column selections into saved dashboards you can return to anytime—automatically updated as your contact list changes.

📣 Note

You might create a view called “Leads to follow up” that filters for contacts tagged “Lead” and sorts by last interaction date. Every time you open it, you’ll see your most recent, ready-to-follow-up leads.

What changed from the previous filter experience

With custom views, you can:

  • Save filtered lists as named views, like “Active clients” or “Follow-ups”

  • Return to them anytime without rebuilding filters

  • Share them across your team automatically

  • Customize columns and sorting for each workflow

Essentially, filters used to be quick searches. Custom views turn them into persistent workspaces that update automatically as your contact list grows.


Create a custom view

  1. From the navigation menu, select Contacts

  2. By “Main View,” select the plus icon (Add custom view)

  3. Apply filters or tags to narrow your list

  4. Adjust columns or sorting to fit your workflow

  5. If you hover over your new custom view tab and select the three-dot icon, you can then select:

    1. Rename to give your view a different name

    2. Duplicate to make a copy of your view

    3. Delete to delete your view

  6. You can create up to 5 active custom views per company. To add another, delete or rename an existing view.

    1. If a teammate deletes or renames a shared custom view, it disappears or updates for everyone in your company

📚 Tip

Discuss with your team what views to create—since all shared views are visible to everyone in your company account.


Manage shared and personal settings

Custom views work at 2 levels: company-level (shared) and user-level (personal).

Company-level settings

Shared across everyone in your company:

  • Creating, renaming, duplicating, or deleting a view

  • Changing column order

For example, if a teammate creates a view called “Warm leads,” everyone will see it appear in their Contacts page.

User-level settings

Saved individually per user:

  • Personal filters and sorting preferences

For example, you and a teammate can both open “Warm leads,” but apply your own filters or sorting without changing each other’s setup.

📚 Tip

Views themselves are shared across the team, but how you see or sort data inside them is personal.
