* Share different `Views` with different people & teams
* Advanced `Filter`
* Open `List View` to see a daily task list

### <img src="/files/j9Pa5lM4ACQ4Gnyy1cug" alt="" data-size="line"> Create different Views for different occasions&#x20;

Construct different Views of the Gantt, Map, Board & List and have multiple view types open at the same time, on the same screen.&#x20;

Choose to save your Views as personal Views or Share them with specific Project or Team Members.&#x20;

### <img src="/files/49j6bP3zKhN05hHGomtg" alt="" data-size="line"> Sharing Views

Any View that is created can be shared between Project or Team Members. Choose specific Team Members to edit the View & save the changes for everyone.&#x20;

All Views will have a unique URL that can be distributed between team members. Using the URL will open the project with the appropriate View.&#x20;

### <img src="/files/KBQWAUD6UXqGIxUQp6hs" alt="" data-size="line"> Advanced Filters

Aphex Filter has been upgraded, with the addition of Filter Groups and advancements to the set up of the Filters.&#x20;

* More advanced control over Filter conditions & criteria
* Filter for specific Task Names&#x20;
* Filter for all issues including Clashes, Missing Data & Overdue Blockers
* Add multiple layers and groups to your Filter
* Filters are specific to a View. Set different Filters for different Views. &#x20;

### <img src="/files/QYo07lhNu6XU5zIXGG0k" alt="" data-size="line"> Introducing, List&#x20;

List is a view type that allows you to view your Daily Task List, right next to the Gantt. Update the Progress and add Delays quickly.&#x20;

### What does this mean for you? &#x20;

* Your Aphex Projects will be automatically migrated to include Views.
* When you open Aphex for the first time, your Gantt, Map & Board views will be open in tabs and ready to use.
* You will have Views created with your current saved preferences. This means, you will have a Gantt, Board & Map view created with your current Filters, Groupings & Overlays applied.&#x20;
* You can begin Creating, Saving & Sharing Views as soon as the update happens
