Customize the Way You Display Information

Topic at a glance

In Outlook, you can change the way you look at information by changing the view. Each view groups, filters, and sorts the information in a different way. Every folder in Outlook has a default view and a set of alternate views. If a view doesn’t display the information you want, you can select another view, modify the current view, or create a new view.

For example, perhaps you need a list of people registered for a conference you’re planning. The Contacts folder contains contacts for conference speakers, vendors, and co-workers, as well as the attendees. You can create a view that gives you exactly the information you need.
