Creating Custom Views

Custom views are a series of search filters that you can apply to messages. Plan and think about your company's message requirements and determine which search filters you want to use for the custom view. It's important to test the custom view to ensure you are getting the correct results, and then save for optimal use. In addition, you can create custom views by creating new or selecting existing search filters.
