## Create new view

1. Below the `table name`, click `+ New View`.

2. In the dropdown modal, select the view type.

3. In the pop-up modal, type the view name. Some view types need more settings:

   | View type | Setting                                                                                                                                                                                                                                |
   | --------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
   | Kanban    | Select the `Single select` field to use as the Kanban field.                                                                                                                                                                           |
   | Calendar  | Select the `Date` OR `DateTime` field to use as the Calendar field.                                                                                                                                                                    |
   | Map       | Select the `GeoData` field to use as the Mapped By field.                                                                                                                                                                              |
   | Timeline  | Select the `Date`, `DateTime`, `CreatedTime`, or `LastModifiedTime` field to use as the start date. You can also add an end date field.                                                                                                |
   | Gantt     | After you create the view, the [Configure Gantt Schedule](/docs/product/tables/views/view-types/gantt#configure-gantt-schedule) dialog opens automatically. In it, select the Start Date, End Date and optional Successor Link fields. |

4. Below **Who can edit**, select the permission type of the view (refer to [Who can edit](#who-can-edit) below).

5. Click `Create View`.

<img alt="image" src={__img0} placeholder="blur" />
<img alt="image" src={__img1} placeholder="blur" />

## Who can edit

Use the **Who can edit** selector in the Create View dialog to set the permission type of the view when you create it. You do not have to create a collaborative view and change the mode later.

| Option            | Description                                                          |
| ----------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Collaborative** | All collaborators can edit the view configuration. *(Default)*       |
| **Personal** ☁    | Only you can edit the view configuration. You become the view owner. |
| **Locked**        | No one can edit the view configuration until it is unlocked.         |

<Callout type="info">
  **Editors**

   see only 

  **Collaborative**

   and 

  **Personal**

   options. The 

  **Locked**

   option is available to 

  **Creators**

   and 

  **Owners**

   only. A view's permission type can always be changed later from the 

  [View Toolbar Menu](/docs/product/tables/views/actions-on-view#lock--unlock-view)

  .
</Callout>

For the behavior of each permission type, refer to [View Permission Types](/docs/product/tables/views#view-permission-types).
