Manage requests in the Browse page

Use the Browse page in Pendo Feedback to review your requests, organize your requests, and assign your co-workers to groups of requests with minimal input. 

The default table view in the Browse page, All Requests, lists every request in reverse chronological order. You can also create custom table views to support your Feedback activities.

You can take action directly from within a table view, and save the state of your table to revisit and share. 

This article describes how you can:

• Search for requests based on keywords.
• Find existing table views.
• Create your own table view with custom column layouts and sorting.
• Save and share these views with your team.
• Reduce the time it takes to triage large volumes of requests with bulk actions in table views.

Search requests

You can find feedback requests using the keyword search bar in the top-right of the table view in the Browse page. This offers you additional functionality to the global search bar at the top of the UI, including saving your search and acting on multiple requests at the same time.

The requests returned by your search are displayed in the Browse page table view. You can save the search by following the instructions in Save a table view. You can also select any number of relevant requests and do any of the following:

• Change App / Product Area
• Add Tags
• Merge Selected Requests (two requests only)
• Set Status
• Edit Assignee

For more information on bulk editing requests in the Browse page, see Act on a group of requests.

Find an existing table view

Aside from the default, All Requests, there are some existing table views available to you, including Assigned to me and New Requests.

The table view, visible in the top-left of the Browse page (above the table and filters), is also a dropdown menu. Open the dropdown menu to find and select a saved table view that you want to use or edit. 

The partial match search function inspects all (non-deleted) views that you have access to. This includes all views you’ve created alongside any views that were created by other people with a visibility set to “Team Only”.

Create a new table view

You can create a new view of your Feedback data by applying filters, adding and removing table columns, reordering columns, and choosing the sort direction of columns.

Apply filters

Use the dropdown menus at the top of the Browse page to apply filters to your requests. You can filter by Apps, Product Areas, Statuses, Tags, Assignees, and Visibility. Choose from the items in the corresponding dropdown menus.

You can search for items from within the dropdown menus for Product Areas, Tags, and Assignees by typing the name of the item you want to include in the filter.

Caution: If you delete a Product Area in Pendo, any table views that have this Product Area set as a filter are also removed.

Manage Columns

To add, remove, or reorder columns, select the Manage Columns icon located in the top-right of the Browse table, under Clear All Filters.

This opens the Manage Columns window, where you can select which columns are displayed in the table and in what order.

To add a column, select + Add Column at the bottom of the window and then select a column from the dropdown menu. To remove a column, select the cross (x) next to the column you want to delete. 

To reorder columns, select the three vertical dots next to a column you want to move to then drag and drop it further up or down the list.

After making your changes, select Save. This only saves your column changes. To save your new table view, see Save a table view, below.

Sort by column data

You can reorder requests by stack-ranking the values in the following columns:

• Requests, alphabetically or in reverse alphabetical order.

• Statuses, from unreviewed to released, or in reverse dev order.

• Account Value, from lowest to highest, or from highest to lowest.

• Votes, from least to most, or from most to least.

• Created, in chronological order or reverse chronological order.
  To reorder requests by column data, select the corresponding column header. 
  

Note: The Vote column takes all votes into account, including votes from internal team users, customers, prospects and, if using the Salesforce integration, Salesforce opportunities.

Revert to the original view

If you want to revert to the original view after making changes, select the dropdown arrow (v) next to Save and select Revert Changes. 

Warning: You can’t revert to the original view after selecting Save.

Save a table view

A Save button appears at the top of the page next to the dropdown menu after you've done any of the following:

• Used the keyword search bar to find requests.
• Created a new table view.
• Made changes to an existing view.

To save changes to an existing view, select Save. This replaces the existing view with the view you’ve just created.

To save a new view based on your most recent edits or your keyword search and selection, you can select the dropdown arrow (v) next to Save and choose Save As New View.

Alternatively, you can select Create New View from the bottom of the requests view dropdown menu.

In the Save View window that opens:

1. Enter a meaningful name for your new table view.
   
2. Choose a visibility level.
   • Select Only Me to make your new view private.
   • Select Team Only to make your new view visible to coworkers
     
3. Select Save at the bottom of the window. 

Note: Your app visitors don't have access to saved views.
