When you make a view the default, it's the first view you see when you visit that location. 

For example, if a Calendar view is made the default for a Space, each time you open that Space, the Calendar view will be shown by default.

Set a default view

The default view set for a Space is List view. List view is required, but it does not need to be the default view. Only one default view per Space can be set. 

Setting a default view will also make that view required. 

To set a view as the default for a Space:

1. Hover over the Space and click the ellipsis ... icon. Or, right-click the Space.
   • In ClickUp 4.0, Spaces live in the Home Sidebar and Spaces Sidebar.
   • In ClickUp 3.0, Spaces live in the Sidebar.
2. Hover over More, then click All Space settings.
3. In the Edit Space settings modal, select Default views.
4. Ensure the Required views tab is selected.
5. Hover to the left of the toggle beside any view and click the ellipsis... icon.
6. Click Make Default.
   
7. A house icon and Default view are displayed to the left of the view's toggle. 
8. Click Done. 

This view is now the default for that Space and any of its new or existing Folders and Lists. You can go back to the Edit modal and change a default or required view at any time.

Set a default view for everyone

Owners and admins can set default views for everyone in specific Workspace locations. Setting a default view for everyone will also make that view required. 

To set a default view for everyone in a Space:

1. In the Views Bar, right-click the view. 
2. Click the Set as default view toggle on.
