# Save a view of a table, as the builder

`POST https://studio.gtable.app/v1/apps/{appId}/tables/{tableId}/views`

A view visible to you alone.

`config` fills in defaults for whatever is left out: an empty filter, no sorts, nothing hidden. Pass its id as `viewId` to apps.records.list to read through it.

Requires the `records:write` scope. Operation `apps.views.create`. MCP tool `apps_views_create`. CLI, once published: `gtable apps views create`.
