Modifying a default view

If you want to change the view, select View -> Arrange By -> Current View -> Customize Current View... to display the Customize View dialog box:

Click one of the buttons to change related view settings (explained in more detail in the text). The text next to each button describes the purpose of each:

• Fields... - Specify which fields (items of information) are included in the view. For example, in the mail view:
  
• Group By... - Define grouping for the displayed contacts based on one or more fields. For example, you could group contacts by company or subject (for more details see Grouping items in a view).
• Sort... - Define how items are sorted. You could sort by subject, for example.

• Filter... - Display only those items that meet your defined criteria.
• Other Settings... - Specify fonts, grid lines, and other details of contact view layout:
  
• Automatic Formatting... - Define special formatting that meet certain conditions such as an overdue task or have been flagged (see also Conditional formatting).
• Format Columns... - Define formatting for columns in the view.
  

If necessary, click Reset Current View to return the view to its original default settings.
