# Create an Insights Explorer view

You can create a custom view in the Insights Explorer that saves any metric charts that were added to the canvas, and any added configuration items. After you create a view, you can share a link to the view.

## Before you begin

Role required: TSOM Assurance admin

## Procedure

1.  Navigate to **All** > **Event Management** > **Metrics** > **Insights Explorer**.

2.  Click **Create View** \(\[Omitted image "create-view-metrics.png"\] Alt text:\), and enter a **Name** in the Create New View dialog box.

    If you are already creating a view, then you can choose **Create With Existing** to load an existing view to work with rather than starting with a blank canvas.

3.  Click **Create**.

4.  Add items to be included in the view:

    1.  Drag metrics and create charts on the canvas.

    2.  Add configuration items.

    While modifying a view, it is automatically saved every time you update it. The time settings are not saved in views, and when a saved view is loaded, its time period is always set to **Last hour** displaying current information.


## What to do next

-   Share a view: Click **Share View** \(\[Omitted image "share-view-metrics.png"\] Alt text:\), and then in the Share dialog box, click **Copy Link**. Send or paste the link to make it accessible to whoever you want to share the view with. A shared link captures the time range of the view, the charts that were added to the canvas, and any added configuration items.
-   Display a saved view: Open the **Select a Saved View** drop down list, and select a previously saved view that you want to display.
