Overview

Views control how contracts are displayed in the Drive. Use built-in views for quick access, or create custom views with specific columns and fields tailored to your workflow.

Built-in Views

Two built-in views are always available:
ViewDescription
Card ViewVisual cards showing contract summaries
Table ViewBasic spreadsheet-style table
Built-in views cannot be customized or deleted.

Table View Columns

The Table View includes the following fixed columns:
ColumnDescription
ContractFile name and contract type
AssetsLinked recordings, compositions, or products
DuplicatesNumber of detected duplicate contracts (click to see which ones)
MissingNumber of expected content items not found in the contract (click to see what is missing)
CreatedUpload date
ActionsPer-contract actions menu

Card View

Each card displays the contract name, type, status, linked assets, and any Duplicates or Missing indicators alongside action buttons.

Custom Views

Custom views let you create table layouts with the exact columns and fields you need.

Creating a Custom View

  1. Click the View dropdown in the toolbar
  2. Click Add view… at the bottom
  3. Enter a name for your view
  4. Configure columns in the Editor tab (or start from a Template)
  5. Click Save

Accessing Custom Views

Your saved custom views appear in the View dropdown below the built-in views. Click any view to apply it.

View Editor

When editing a custom view, you’ll see two tabs:

Editor Tab

The main workspace for building your view. Here you:
  • Add, remove, and reorder columns
  • Configure fields within each column
  • Adjust column design settings

Templates Tab

Pre-configured column layouts for common use cases. Select a template to quickly populate your view with relevant columns.

Working with Columns

Columns are the building blocks of custom views. Each column can contain one or more fields.

Adding a Column

Click the + Add Column button at the bottom of the Editor tab. A new column named “New Column” is created.

Column Controls

Each column has controls in its header:
ControlFunction
Toggle switchEnable/disable the column in the view
Up arrowMove column left (reorder)
Down arrowMove column right (reorder)
X buttonRemove the column

Reordering Columns

Use the up and down arrow buttons on each column to change the display order. Columns at the top of the list appear on the left side of the table.

Renaming a Column

Click the edit icon next to the column name to rename it. Press Enter to save or Escape to cancel.

Column Configuration

Expand a column to access its configuration. Each column has two tabs:

Column Fields Tab

Configure which data fields appear in the column. Adding a field:
  1. Use the Select field dropdown at the bottom
  2. Choose a field from File Fields, System Fields, or Custom Fields
  3. Click + Field to add it
Field options: Each field can be expanded to configure its display settings. Options vary by field type but may include:
  • Display type (text, count, badges)
  • Which properties to show
  • Filtering options
Removing a field: Click the X button on any field to remove it from the column.

Column Design Tab

Control the visual appearance of the column. Column Size:

  2. Click the Templates tab
  3. Browse available templates
  4. Click a template to apply it
Applying a template replaces all current columns. You’ll be prompted to confirm if you have existing columns.

Available Templates

Templates are designed for specific workflows like:
  • Recording deal overview
  • Publishing deal overview
  • Financial terms focus
  • Expiration tracking

Managing Views

Renaming a View

  1. Open the view in the editor
  2. Click the edit icon next to the view name in the header
  3. Enter the new name
  4. Click Save

Deleting a View

  1. Open the view in the editor
  2. Click the Delete button at the bottom left
  3. Confirm the deletion
Deleting a view cannot be undone. Built-in views (Card View, Table View) cannot be deleted.

View Sharing

Custom views are shared at the project level. This means:
AspectBehavior
VisibilityAll project members see the same custom views
CreationAny project member can create new views
EditingAny project member can edit existing views
DeletionAny project member can delete views
Views are not personal or private. When you create or modify a view, all team members with access to the project will see those changes.

Implications for Teams

  • Coordinate with your team before deleting or significantly changing shared views
  • Use clear naming conventions so team members understand each view’s purpose
  • Consider creating role-specific views (e.g., “Finance Review”, “Legal Compliance”) that different team members can use

Best Practices

Build views that match how you work - one for reviewing new contracts, one for tracking expirations, one for financial analysis.
Name views clearly so you can quickly find them: “Expiring Q1 2025” or “Sony Recording Deals”.
Templates provide a good starting point - customize from there rather than building from scratch.
Too many fields in one column can be hard to read. Split related data across multiple columns.
When you need to see the full breakdown of royalties, costs, or dates, use the categorized versions instead of the summary fields.
Since all project members share the same views, communicate before making significant changes or deleting views others might rely on.

Filters

Filter contracts within any view.
