View Configuration
==================

Each profile contains one or more views. A view applies its own search conditions on top of the profile global
conditions using AND. Views are created as dynamic M-Files views in the Desktop client, scoped per user.

For delay search conditions on a view see :ref:`Delay Search Conditions`.

Alert Criteria
--------------

Alert criteria define when a view should be flagged as requiring attention. Alerts can fire based on the number
of objects in the view (count-based), based on the last modification date of objects (date-based), or both
conditions combined.

When an alert condition is met the view is marked in the Folder Stats web client dashboard so users can open
it directly in M-Files.

.. tip::

    Combine count and date criteria to cover both backlog volume and stale-item scenarios in a single view.
    For example: alert when items exceed 10 (``Max items = 10``) AND when any item has not been modified
    in more than 3 days (``Last Modified > 3 Days``).
