Save your column layout in the Directory so the fields you use most stay in view, without horizontal scrolling every time you return.
Prerequisites
- Owner or Admin permissions in ContactMonkey
- Contacts and fields already available in the Directory
What You Can Save
When you save a view, your preferences are stored for:
- Column placement: the order of your columns
- Column width: how wide each column appears
How to Save, Restore, or Reset Your View
At the bottom of the table on the Recipients page, you'll find three buttons:
| Button | What It Does |
| Save Columns | Saves your current column layout and sidebar state |
| Restore Columns | Returns to your previously saved state |
| Reset Columns | Resets columns back to the default configuration |
- Click Directory at the top of the ContactMonkey dashboard
- Arrange your columns and sidebar to your preferred layout
- Scroll to the bottom of the table
- Click Save Columns

Your layout is now saved and will load automatically the next time you open the Recipients tab.
Saved column views apply only to the Recipients tab of the Directory. They don't apply inside individual custom lists.
How Long Does My Saved View Persist?
Your saved view will stick around through:
- Browser refreshes
- Logging out and back in
- Navigating to other parts of the app and returning
- Switching between teams
Things to Keep in Mind
- Browser-specific: Your saved view is stored in your browser. If you switch to a new device or browser, your saved view won't carry over.
- Clearing cookies: If you clear your browser cookies, your saved state will be reset.
