    "description": "#### Allowed For\n\n* Agents\n\n#### JSON Format\n\nThe JSON format consists of one property, a `view` object that lists the values to set when the view is created.\n\n**Note**: The request must include at least one condition in the `all` array that checks one of the following fields: `status`, `type`, `group_id`, `assignee_id`, or `requester_id`.\n\n| Name        | Description\n| ----------- | -----------\n| title       | Required. The title of the view\n| all         | Required. An array of one or more conditions. A ticket must meet all of them to be included in the view. See [Conditions reference](/documentation/ticketing/reference-guides/conditions-reference)\n| any         | An array of one or more conditions. A ticket must meet any of them to be included in the view. See [Conditions reference](/documentation/ticketing/reference-guides/conditions-reference)\n| description | The description of the view\n| active      | Allowed values are true or false. Determines if the view is displayed or not\n| output      | An object that specifies the columns to display. Example: `\"output\": {\"columns\": [\"status\", \"description\", \"priority\"]}`. See [View columns](#view-columns)\n| restriction | An object that describes who can access the view. To give all agents access to the view, omit this property\n\nThe `restriction` object has the following properties.\n\n| Name | Comment\n| ---- | -------\n| type | Allowed values are \"Group\" or \"User\"\n| id   | The numeric ID of a single group or user\n| ids  | The numeric IDs of a single or more groups. Recommended for \"Group\" `type`\n\nIf `type` is \"Group\", the `ids` property is the preferred method of specifying the group id or ids.\n\n#### Example Request Body\n\n```js\n{\n  \"view\": {\n    \"title\": \"Kelly's tickets\",\n    \"raw_title\": \"{{dc.tickets_assigned_to_kelly}}\",\n    \"description\": \"Tickets that are assigned to Kelly\",\n    \"active\": true,\n    \"position\": 3,\n    \"restriction\": {\n      \"type\": \"User\",\n      \"id\": \"213977756\"\n    },\n    \"all\": [\n      {\n        \"field\": \"status\",\n        \"operator\": \"less_than\",\n        \"value\": \"solved\"\n      },\n      {\n        \"field\": \"group_id\",\n        \"operator\": \"is\",\n        \"value\": \"24000932\"\n      },\n      {\n        \"field\": \"custom_fields_360011872073\",\n        \"operator\": \"is\",\n        \"value\": \"Canada\"\n      },\n      ...\n    ],\n    \"output\": {\n      \"columns\": [\"status\", \"requester\", \"assignee\"],\n      \"group_by\": \"assignee\",\n      \"group_order\": \"desc\",\n      \"sort_by\": \"status\",\n      \"sort_order\": \"desc\"\n    }\n  }\n}\n```\n\n#### View columns\n\nThe `output` request parameter lets you specify what columns to include in the view in the agent interface. Example: `\"output\": {\"columns\": [\"status\", \"description\", \"priority\"]}`. The following table lists possible columns for views in the agent UI and the corresponding values in the `columns` array.\n\nFor custom fields, specify the id of the custom field in the `columns` array.\n\nYou can specify a total of 10 columns to a view.\n\n| View column title in UI     | Value                |\n|---------------------------- | -------------------- |\n| Assigned                    | `assigned`           |\n| Assignee                    | `assignee`           |\n| Due Date                    | `due_date`           |\n| Group                       | `group`              |\n| ID                          | `nice_id`            |\n| Updated                     | `updated`            |\n| Assignee updated            | `updated_assignee`   |\n| Requester updated           | `updated_requester`  |\n| Updater                     | `updated_by_type`    |\n| Organization                | `organization`       |\n| Priority                    | `priority`           |\n| Requested                   | `created`            |\n| Requester                   | `requester`          |\n| Requester language          | `locale_id`          |\n| Satisfaction                | `satisfaction_score` |\n| Solved                      | `solved`             |\n| Status category             | `status`             |\n| Subject                     | `description`        |\n| Submitter                   | `submitter`          |\n| Ticket form                 | `ticket_form`        |\n| Type                        | `type`               |\n| Brand                       | `brand`              |\n| Ticket status               | `custom_status_id`   |\n\n#### View sorting\n\nYou can group and sort items in the view by adding items to the `output` parameter:\n\n| Attribute                   | Description\n|-----------------------------| -----------\n| `group_by`, `sort_by`       | Sort or group the tickets by a column in the [View columns](#view-columns) table.
