Use this interactive demo to learn how to build a custom List View in Salesforce.

Quick summary

A Salesforce List View lets you segment and display records from objects like Leads, Contacts, or Accounts using custom filters, giving teams instant access to the data slices they need. This step-by-step walkthrough shows how to create, filter, and save a new List View directly inside Salesforce.


Steps

  1. Open an object tab such as Leads, Contacts, Accounts, or Opportunities.
  2. On the selected tab page, open the List View from the dropdown button beside the gear icon.
  3. Select 'New' to start creating a new List View.
  4. Fill in the list details, then click 'Save'.
  5. Select 'Add Filter' to begin narrowing down your records.
  6. Set the filter details, then click 'Done'.
  7. Once all filters are configured, click 'Save' to finalize your new List View.

📌 Why this matters

Salesforce List Views are essential for sales and service teams who need to quickly surface the right records without running manual reports. By creating custom List Views with targeted filters on objects like Leads, Contacts, Accounts, and Opportunities, users can prioritize their pipeline, improve response times, and work more efficiently directly within Salesforce. This feature eliminates context-switching and ensures every team member sees only the most relevant data for their role. Mastering List View creation is a foundational Salesforce skill that directly accelerates CRM adoption and productivity.
