How to Create & Customize HubSpot Contact Views?
With HubSpot CRM, you can not only filter the saved views and consider the records of the objects(contacts, deals, companies, and tickets). But, can also create new views and customize the saved views in accordance with your business goals and requirements.
To have the exact information from your synced objects, you can apply filters to each record and its properties. The set of filters applied can be saved as a view. This implies that whenever you select any saved view, the same set of filters will be applied to derive the information from the objects meeting those standards.
