One of the nice new features in Dynamics NAV 2009 SP1 is Saved Views.

A Saved View allows users to place filters on an entity and then save the resulting view for future use.

Once saved and the RTC has done a quick restart, the view is easily accessed from the Navigation Pane.

Lets go through a simple example to see how they work.

Creating the View

First create a view by specifying some filters.

In this case I want to see all customers with a balance greater than 5000.

Saving the View

Now save the view by selecting Save View As from the Sorting and Filtering activity button.

Opening the View

The view can be opened at any time by selecting it from the Navigation Pane.

Sweet.
