Create, edit, and share default filters, views, and groupings

You can create default filters, views, and groupings, then make them available to users in your organization.

When you create default filters, views, and groupings as described in this article, users who you share them with are able to leverage them when viewing their lists. Users can create their own filters, views, and groupings based on those you create, but they cannot directly change those you create.
