Customize Views

← All WonderLister user guides

Customize Views is the settings dialog you reach from the main grids. It gathers the
settings that govern how those grids look and behave, what a CSV update and a CSV export do, what happens
when you save an active listing, and how many pictures a bulk drop assigns to each item.

The Customize Views dialog

The dialog, with its five sections one under another and a Save at each end.

Where to find it

On the Listings page, open Customize Views from the toolbar —
it is under Miscellaneous in the icon layout and in the views
group in the labelled-button layout.

These are the same settings as the matching sections of Preferences. The dialog exists so
you can reach them without leaving the grid you are working in; Preferences
shows the same five sections alongside everything else, and changing a setting in one place changes it in
the other.

The five sections

Section What it covers
Main Views How the Listings, Listing Templates and Sales grids look and behave — the toolbar layout, the search
bar, row selection, thumbnail size, and automatic archiving.
Update using CSV Whether a spreadsheet update is allowed to touch compatibilities and variations. Read this one
before your first CSV update.
Export to CSV Which columns an export writes, whether compatibilities and variations go with them, and how many
rows to put in each file.
Listing Submissions Whether saving an active listing sends it to eBay straight away, and whether price and quantity are
included when it does.
Bulk assign pictures How many pictures each item gets when you drop a batch of them onto a selection.

Saving

There is a save icon at the top right of the dialog and a Save Changes button at the
bottom; they do the same thing and both save every section, not only the one you are looking at.
Nothing is stored until you press one of them.

Permissions

The dialog is drawn only for an account administrator or a staff account granted Manage Preferences;
anyone else is told they are not permitted and shown nothing. Staff permissions are set on
Staff Accounts.

FAQ

Q: Is this different from Preferences?
A: No — these five sections are the same settings, on the same account. Preferences
adds the sections this dialog leaves out, such as the editor’s hidden fields and folder behaviour.
Q: I changed a setting and closed the dialog, and nothing happened.
A: Closing does not save. Use the save icon at the top or
Save Changes at the bottom.
Q: Do these settings apply to Listing Templates and Sales as well as Listings?
A: The Main Views section applies to all three grids. The other four
apply to the operations they name.
Q: The dialog says I am not permitted.
A: You are signed in as a staff account without the Manage Preferences
permission. The account owner grants it on Staff Accounts.
