## Summary - Add a week layout to record calendar views and persist the selected layout. - Render `DATE` calendars as an all-day week and `DATE_TIME` calendars as an hourly week. - Add an optional end date field across calendar configuration, metadata, persistence, and complete-view upserts. - Use configured end values for ranged and multi-day events, with a one-hour fallback when a `DATE_TIME` end is absent or invalid. - Keep calendar cards consistent with the existing compact view, including checkbox selection and whole-card record opening. - Gate the weekly layout and end-date behavior behind the public Labs `IS_CALENDAR_WEEK_VIEW_ENABLED` workspace feature flag. ## Week interactions - Show overlapping timed events side by side and cap the visible records at two per day. - Display start and end times on timed cards, enforce a readable 30-minute minimum height, and keep today’s text contrast stronger. - Drag timed events between days and times with 30-minute snapping while preserving their duration, including zero-duration events. - Show a create button when hovering a 30-minute slot; keyboard users can focus a day, move the slot with the arrow keys, and reach the same contextual action. - Initialize new records with the selected slot time and a compatible writable end value one hour later. - Show the workspace time zone and current-time indicator in timed weeks; date-only weeks keep the all-day section without an hourly grid. ## Configuration and data loading - Only allow end fields that match the start field type, and prevent selecting the same field for both boundaries. - Load records whose ranges overlap the visible period so month and week layouts display the same relevant records. - Resolve and persist calendar end fields when updating existing views through `upsert_complete_view`. - Fall back to Month and ignore the configured end field while the flag is disabled, without overwriting either persisted setting, so re-enabling restores the previous configuration. - Expose the flag in Labs and keep it default-off for workspaces without a stored value; enable it in the development seeder. <img width="1285" height="808" alt="Screenshot 2026-07-15 at 15 50 17" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/b7e3f7f1-ca77-492f-8cce-cca186ebca0b" />

description: Ship pre-configured saved views — column order, filters, groups — for objects in your app.

|
|
|
A **view** is a saved configuration for how records of an object are displayed: which fields appear, their order, whether they're visible, and any filters or groups applied. Use `defineView()` to ship pre-configured views with your app — typically a default index view for each custom object you create.
|
|
|
|
```ts src/views/example-view.ts
|
|
import { defineView, ViewKey } from 'twenty-sdk/define';
|
|
import { EXAMPLE_OBJECT_UNIVERSAL_IDENTIFIER } from '../objects/example-object';
|
|
import { NAME_FIELD_UNIVERSAL_IDENTIFIER } from '../objects/example-object';
|
|
|
|
export default defineView({
|
|
universalIdentifier: 'a1b2c3d4-e5f6-7890-abcd-ef1234567890',
|
|
name: 'All example items',
|
|
objectUniversalIdentifier: EXAMPLE_OBJECT_UNIVERSAL_IDENTIFIER,
|
|
icon: 'IconList',
|
|
key: ViewKey.INDEX,
|
|
position: 0,
|
|
fields: [
|
|
{
|
|
universalIdentifier: 'f926bdb7-6af7-4683-9a09-adbca56c29f0',
|
|
fieldMetadataUniversalIdentifier: NAME_FIELD_UNIVERSAL_IDENTIFIER,
|
|
position: 0,
|
|
isVisible: true,
|
|
size: 200,
|
|
},
|
|
],
|
|
});
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Key points
|
|
|
|
- `objectUniversalIdentifier` specifies which object this view applies to. It can be a custom object you defined or a standard Twenty object.
|
|
- `key: ViewKey.INDEX` marks the view as the object's main list view (the one an `OBJECT` navigation item opens).
|
|
- `fields` controls which columns appear and in what order. Each field references a `fieldMetadataUniversalIdentifier`. To reference an auto-created system field such as `createdAt`, see [Targeting System Fields](/developers/extend/apps/data/system-fields).
|
|
- You can also declare `filters`, `filterGroups`, `sorts`, `groups`, and `fieldGroups` for advanced configurations.
|
|
- `position` controls ordering when multiple views exist for the same object.
|
|
|
|
## Optional properties
|
|
|
|
| Property | Values | Description |
|
|
|----------|--------|-------------|
|
|
| `type` | `ViewType.TABLE` (default), `ViewType.KANBAN`, `ViewType.CALENDAR` | How records are laid out. (`FIELDS_WIDGET` / `TABLE_WIDGET` also exist but are used internally by page-layout widgets.) |
|
|
| `visibility` | `ViewVisibility.WORKSPACE` (default), `ViewVisibility.UNLISTED` | Whether the view is listed for the whole workspace or hidden from pickers. |
|
|
| `openRecordIn` | `ViewOpenRecordIn.SIDE_PANEL` (default), `ViewOpenRecordIn.RECORD_PAGE` | Where clicking a record opens it. |
|
|
| `sorts` | `{ fieldMetadataUniversalIdentifier, direction: ViewSortDirection.ASC \| DESC }[]` | Default sort order. |
|
|
| `isCompact` | `boolean` | Compact row display. |
|
|
| `mainGroupByFieldMetadataUniversalIdentifier` + `shouldHideEmptyGroups` | — | Group records (e.g. kanban columns) by a field. |
|
|
| `kanbanAggregateOperation`, `kanbanAggregateOperationFieldMetadataUniversalIdentifier`, `kanbanColumnWidth` | `AggregateOperations.*` | Kanban column aggregates and sizing. |
|
|
| `calendarLayout`, `calendarFieldMetadataUniversalIdentifier`, `calendarEndFieldMetadataUniversalIdentifier` | `ViewCalendarLayout.DAY` / `WEEK` / `MONTH` | Calendar views: layout, the date field that positions records, and an optional end date field. |
|
|
|
|
All enums above are exported from `twenty-sdk/define`.
|
|
|
|
## Filters
|
|
|
|
A view can ship with pre-applied filters. Each filter has three coordinates: the **field** being filtered, the **operand** (how to compare), and the **value** (what to compare against). All three must line up — using an operand that doesn't apply to a field type will be rejected at sync time.
|
|
|
|
```ts
|
|
import { ViewFilterOperand } from 'twenty-sdk/define';
|
|
|
|
filters: [
|
|
{
|
|
universalIdentifier: '...',
|
|
fieldMetadataUniversalIdentifier: STATUS_FIELD_UNIVERSAL_IDENTIFIER,
|
|
operand: ViewFilterOperand.IS,
|
|
value: ['ACTIVE'],
|
|
},
|
|
],
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Supported operands per field type
|
|
|
|

> Field types with similar names can use entirely different operands — `SELECT` and `MULTI_SELECT` being a common case.
|
|
|
|
### Value shape per operand
|
|
|
|
The `value` field is always a JSON-serializable value, but its expected shape depends on the operand:
|
|
|
|
| Operand family | Value shape | Example |
|
|
| ----------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------ | ------------------------ |
|
|
| `IS`, `IS_NOT` on `SELECT` | array of option keys (strings) | `['ACTIVE', 'PENDING']` |
|
|
| `CONTAINS`, `DOES_NOT_CONTAIN` on `MULTI_SELECT` | array of option keys (strings) | `['TAG_A']` |
|
|
| `IS`, `IS_NOT` on `RELATION` | array of record IDs (uuids) | `['c5a1...']` |
|
|
| `CONTAINS`, `DOES_NOT_CONTAIN` on text-like fields | string | `'acme'` |
|
|
| `IS`, `IS_NOT` on `NUMBER` | string (the value) | `'5'` |
|
|
| `IS` on `RATING` / `UUID` | string (the value) | `'5'` |
|
|
| `GREATER_THAN_OR_EQUAL`, `LESS_THAN_OR_EQUAL` | string (the bound) | `'10'` |
|
|
| `IS`, `IS_BEFORE`, `IS_AFTER` on `DATE` / `DATE_TIME` | ISO 8601 string | `'2025-01-01T00:00:00Z'` |
|
|
| `IS_EMPTY`, `IS_NOT_EMPTY` | empty string | `''` |
|
|
| `IS` on `BOOLEAN` | `'true'` or `'false'` | `'true'` |
|
|
|
|
## How views show up in the UI
|
|
|
|
A view by itself isn't reachable from the sidebar. To make it appear there, pair it with a [navigation menu item](/developers/extend/apps/layout/navigation-menu-items) of type `VIEW` that points at the view's `universalIdentifier`. That's the canonical pattern: every custom object typically ships a default view + a sidebar entry that opens it.
