A view stores <strong>which resources to show</strong>, not the resources themselves. Opening a view re-applies its filters to the current inventory of your connected clusters.</p> <h2 id="what-a-view-stores" class="heading-link"> What a view stores <a href="#what-a-view-stores" class="heading-anchor" aria-label="Permalink to this heading">🔗</a> </h2> <table> <thead> <tr> <th>Field</th> <th>Content</th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <tr> <td>Name</td> <td>Defaults to <code>Untitled View</code>. Up to 255 characters. Not required to be unique.</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Filters</td> <td>Kinds, models, namespaces, labels, and the name search text. See <a href="/kanvas/reference/views/#filters">Filters</a>.</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Visibility</td> <td><code>public</code> or <code>private</code>.</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Notes</td> <td>Free text (Markdown) in the view&rsquo;s metadata, edited in View Info.</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Owner, created, updated</td> <td>Set by Layer5 Cloud.</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <p>A view does not store layout, zoom, pan, or the selected resource. It does not store cluster selection either: the clusters selected in the Meshery context selector at the time you open the view always win. A copied link includes your current pan and zoom as URL parameters, but they are not saved in the view.</p>
