We just shipped the ability to show custom views on the portal. These custom views are sort of similar to Airtable Views, but specifically designed for miniExtensions. Here’s an example of a Custom View’s settings: ![Screen Shot 2023-03-05 at 12.02.53 PM](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex035/uploads/miniextensions/original/1X/ed384c3def8753718de3f5d431432b56117c9551.jpeg) Here’s how the Custom Views look on the portal: ![Screen Shot 2023-03-05 at 12.02.16 PM](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex035/uploads/miniextensions/original/1X/98474ad8491aa3d9d12949e6156f54364d75ab87.jpeg) You can find the Custom View settings on the portal field’s settings: ![Screen Shot 2023-03-05 at 12.02.40 PM](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex035/uploads/miniextensions/original/1X/58c63472be742cb176577340415d52ca8ca94dee.jpeg) If you have any feedback about this, please post it below or reach out to us in chat! ---

Awesome! I just added this feature to a couple of my Portal pages. I’d say if there was a Grouping option as well, that would take it to the next level! But, it is very useful as it is now. ---

@Albie_on_tour Glad you find this useful! I’ve created a ticket for our team to look into grouping. For now, you can use sort to achieve a similar result, but of course it would be nicer if they were properly grouped. Please note that grouping is a complicated feature. We’ll try to priortize it, but it will likely take time. We’ll post updates here when we have them. ---

Yes, I’m using the Sort as well in a ‘two stage’ setting. My main sort condition, followed by my date order sort condition. It works and is way better than nothing, but a grouping tends to more clearly define a ‘sorting’. Understandable if it will take awhile given your explanation. 🙂 ---

@Abdul - WOW - thanks so much for this!!! Love the way this is implemented, I like that I can even choose to show logged in user records on certain custom view! - JUST BEING GREEDY. 😜 is 5 views the max we can have? 🤣 Ability to add more would great! ---

Posting in here since we are in the topic of **Filtering and sorting for portal. ( KIV for reference / discussion)** Hope its not overkill - Just some thoughts for also the ability to: 1. Use airtable select fields / Multi select fields / linked records - as a easy dropdown filter option 2. Ability to put a header to different sets of custom view buttons ![Snag_28a049a](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex035/uploads/miniextensions/original/1X/5067342f40546cf32a588ed653ad40dd4ad58305.png) ---

Glad you like it! And sure thing! We just increased it to 15 views. ---

I’ve created tickets for those two requests. We’ll post here when we have updates. ---

Love this feature a lot!! I already wrote in and provided this suggestion, but it would be great display a count of # of records beside each view title. ![tabs-usage-1.2d55259c92185edc1eba7c07d1abef1c9d741451](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex035/uploads/miniextensions/original/1X/dcf707039939a966df4c0298be7cda8e0b9983d6.png) ---

Thank you for your feedback! We’ve created a ticket for this. Counting records with the Airtable API requires making too many requests to Airtable, which we need to avoid due to the Airtable API limit. That said, we’ll try to see if there’s a way around it. We’ll post here when we have updates. ---
