## Expected behavior I expect to find a UI something like this so that I can select my smart view. ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/forest/original/1X/415d2a5b50e266a5b30d30e74f8bb79c48fb799b.png) ## Actual behavior I do not see a UI like that anywhere, and can see no other way to view the smart view. Perhaps I’m not smart enough! LOL ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/forest/original/1X/08f451d29ccc07a71d0d00527aa41d255c88e132.png) ## Failure Logs N/A ## Context I have created a default SmartView with no customizations and wanted to view it. I cannot find how to see it ☹ ---

Hi @CFox, and welcome to our new community 🙌 Did you try refreshing the page after creating the smart view ? I’ve just created one and it seems necessary in order for it to appear in the dropdown. If you didn’t do any code modification, it should be enough to display the list of views available. Let me know if that helps 🙂 ---

I think this is actually happening now. After refresh, I don’t see a button to switch to the Smart View. I can see the Smart View when pressing “Edit Layout”, is that how we’re suppose to see it? ![Screenshot 2023-02-22 at 11.42.53](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/forest/original/2X/5/5c59e39c4828b09a6acd3f071f440619ebeb2576.png) ![Screenshot 2023-02-22 at 11.43.05](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/forest/original/2X/0/0490f4f00e521009c202d643b9f226389c5d49a3.png) ---

Hello @mash, Can you please open a new thread for your issue, as it seems related but not fixed by the solution proposed by @anon39848301? Thanks ---
