# View Mode

Source: https://userguide.qualytics.io/using-the-platform/web-app/top-right-menu/view-mode/

The **View** setting in Qualytics lets you switch between two layouts on listing pages: a compact **List** layout that fits more rows on screen, or a **Grid** layout of cards that surfaces more information per item. The setting lives in the **Appearance** menu in the top-right toolbar, and your preference is remembered across sessions on the same browser.

## Where View Mode Applies

The setting applies to every Qualytics page that renders a listing of items:

- **Datastores** listing page
- **Containers** inside a datastore (Tables / Views / Files)
- **Library** - Check Templates
- **Explore** - Containers listing
- **Anomalies** - Datastore, Container, Field, and Explore anomaly listings
- **Checks** - Datastore, Container, Field, and Explore check listings

## Change the View

**Step 1:** Click the **Appearance**  icon in the top-right toolbar.

**Step 2:** In the **View** section, select **Grid** or **List**. The selected layout is shown as pressed, and listing pages switch right away.

> **Tip: Persistence**
>
> Your view choice is stored locally in the browser and applies platform-wide, to every listing page listed above.
