## Create new view

1. Click on `+ New View` button below `table name`.
2. Select view type from the dropdown modal.
3. Fill view name in the pop-up modal.
   * For Kanban view, select the `Single select` field to be used as the Kanban field.
   * For Calendar view, select the `Date` OR `DateTime` field to be used as the Calendar field.
   * For Map view, select the `GeoData` field to be used as the Mapped By field.
   * For Timeline view, select the `Date`, `DateTime`, `CreatedTime`, or `LastModifiedTime` field to be used as the start date. Optionally, add an end date field.
   * For Gantt view, the [Configure Gantt Schedule](/docs/product/tables/views/view-types/gantt#configure-gantt-schedule) dialog opens automatically after creation, where you pick the Start Date, End Date, and optional Successor Link fields.
4. Under **Who can edit**, choose the view's permission type (see [Who can edit](#who-can-edit) below).

## Who can edit

The **Who can edit** selector in the Create View dialog lets you pick the view's permission type at creation time, instead of creating a collaborative view and switching modes later.

| Option            | Description                                                          |
| ----------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Collaborative** | All collaborators can edit the view configuration. *(Default)*       |
| **Personal** ☁    | Only you can edit the view configuration. You become the view owner. |
| **Locked**        | No one can edit the view configuration until it is unlocked.         |

<Callout type="info">
  **Editors**

   see only 

  **Collaborative**

   and 

  **Personal**

   options. The 

  **Locked**

   option is available to 

  **Creators**

   and 

  **Owners**

   only. A view's permission type can always be changed later from the 

  [View Toolbar Menu](/docs/product/tables/views/actions-on-view#lock--unlock-view)

  .
