Views
A view in ContextHub is a window to the list of context items you have stored. If required, a view can contain every context item stored in your library, or a series of context items filtered based on a set of conditions selected by the user. Adding a context item does not necessarily add it to a view you have open. It is critical to understand that a view is controlled by the filter conditions placed upon it. If your newly formed Context Item does not fall within your view's filter conditions, it will not appear in your view.
See the filters section below for more details.

Click on "Saved views".
A side panel appears from the right.

You can filter context items by their "Current state". So for example, if you wish to see all context items that are currently "In Progress", select the "Current states" filter and then select the "In progress" option. This active filter enables you to filter your active context items specifically.
You can also filter a view using time periods and dates, relate to:
Event start date
Creation date of the context items
Simply select the time cell (last eight hours is the default setting) and enter the time periods and dates desired, in which your events occur.
You can either:
select a preordained period (in which your event occurred) by clicking on the "8 hours" field;
select specific event dates; or,
choose an item creation date beneath the "Creation date" button. This sub-filter includes before and after date.
Then click "Done".
Note
Creation date filter is not available on the Gantt chart.
You can also enable "Enable Live mode". Live mode enables auto-refreshing of the grid chart so that new items set, feature on the grid chart automatically.
On some property/field types, it's possible to filter not only based on specific values, but also on empty or non-empty values. This option is available on the following filters:
Component filter
Description filter
Keyword filter
Current state filter
Custom numeric context field filter
Custom string context field filter
Custom dropdown context field filter
Note
A value is considered empty if it is either null or an empty string. Filtering on empty or non-empty values for component is currently not supported in Gantt view.
