Views

A view consists of one or more conditions that define a collection of tickets to display. If the conditions are met, the ticket is included in the view. For example, a view can display all open tickets that were last updated more than 24 hours ago.

For more information, see Creating views to manage ticket workflow.

JSON format

Views are represented as JSON objects with the following properties:

Name	Type	Read-only	Mandatory	Description
active	boolean	false	false	Whether the view is active
conditions	object	false	false	Describes how the view is constructed. See Conditions reference
created_at	string	true	false	The time the view was created
default	boolean	true	false	If true, the view is a default view
description	string	false	false	The description of the view
execution	object	false	false	Describes how the view should be executed. See Execution
id	integer	true	false	Automatically assigned when created
position	integer	false	false	The position of the view
restriction	object	false	false	Who may access this account. Is null when everyone in the account can access it
title	string	false	false	The title of the view
updated_at	string	true	false	The time the view was last updated

Execution

A view's execution object is a read-only object that describes how to display a collection of tickets in the view.

Name	Type	Comment
group_by, sort_by	string	Sort or group the tickets by a column in the View columns table. The subject and submitter columns are not supported
group_order, sort_order	string	Either "asc" or "desc"
columns	array	The ticket fields to display. Custom fields have an id, title, type, and url referencing the ticket field
group	object	When present, the structure indicating how the tickets are grouped
sort	object	The column structure of the field used for sorting

Count Views

• GET /api/v2/views/count
• GET /api/v2/views/count

Returns an approximate count of shared and personal views available to the current user. If the count exceeds 100,000, the count will return a cached result. This cached result will update every 24 hours.

The count[refreshed_at] property is a timestamp that indicates when the count was last updated.

Note: When the count exceeds 100,000, count[refreshed_at] may occasionally be null. This indicates that the count is being updated in the background, and count[value] is limited to 100,000 until the update is complete.

JSON Format

The JSON format consists of one property, a view object that lists the values to set when the view is created.

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.

Name	Description
title	Required. The title of the view
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
any	An array of one or more conditions. A ticket must meet any of them to be included in the view. See Conditions reference
description	The description of the view
active	Allowed values are true or false. Determines if the view is displayed or not
output	An object that specifies the columns to display. Example: "output": {"columns": ["status", "description", "priority"]}. See View columns
restriction	An object that describes who can access the view. To give all agents access to the view, omit this property

The restriction object has the following properties.

Name	Comment
type	Allowed values are "Group" or "User"
id	The numeric ID of a single group or user
ids	The numeric IDs of a single or more groups. Recommended for "Group" type

If type is "Group", the ids property is the preferred method of specifying the group id or ids.

Update View

• PUT /api/v2/views/{view_id}

Allowed For

• Agents

JSON Format

The PUT request takes one property, a view object that lists the values to update. All properties are optional.

Note: Updating a condition updates the containing array, clearing the other conditions. Include all your conditions when updating any condition.

Name	Description
title	The title of the view
all	An array of one or more conditions. A ticket must meet all the conditions to be included in the view. The PUT request replaces all existing conditions. See Conditions reference
any	An array of one or more conditions. A ticket must meet any of them to be included in the view. At least one all condition must be defined with the any conditions. The PUT request replaces all existing any conditions. See Conditions reference
active	Allowed values are true or false. Determines if the view is displayed or not
output	An object that specifies the columns to display. Example: "output": {"columns": ["status", "description," "priority"]}. See View columns
restriction	An object that describes who can access the view. To give all agents access to the view, omit this property

The restriction object has the following properties.

Name	Comment
type	Allowed values are "Group" or "User"
id	The numeric ID of a single group or user
ids	The numeric IDs of a single or more groups. Recommended for "Group" type

If type is "Group", the ids property is the preferred method of specifying the group id or ids.

You can also update how items are sorted and grouped. See View sorting in Create View.

Example Request Body

{
  "view": {
    "title": "Code red tickets",
    "restriction": {
      "type": "Group",

Execute View

• GET /api/v2/views/{view_id}/execute

Returns the column titles and the rows of the specified view.

The columns array lists the view's column titles and includes only views parameters.

The rows array lists the values of each column for each ticket and includes parameters from both views and tickets. Though not displayed in the view, a partial ticket object is included with each row object.

Note: To get the full ticket objects for a specified view, use List Tickets from a View.

This endpoint is rate limited to 5 requests per minute, per view, per agent. This rate limit includes activity in Zendesk Support. An API script is more likely to encounter rate limit errors if the authenticating agent or admin is concurrently active in Zendesk Support.

The view execution system is designed for periodic rather than high-frequency API usage. In particular, views called very frequently may be cached by Zendesk. This means that the API client will still receive a result, but that result may have been computed at any time within the last 10 minutes.

Zendesk recommends using the Incremental Ticket Export endpoint to get the latest changes. You can call it more often, and it returns all the tickets that changed since the last poll. For details and rate limits, see Incremental Exports.

View output sorting can be controlled by passing the sort_by and sort_order parameters in the format described in the table in Preview Views.

Allowed For

• Agents

Pagination

• Cursor pagination (recommended)
• Offset pagination

See Pagination.

Parameters

Name	Type	In	Required	Description
sort_by	string	Query	false	The ticket field used for sorting. This will either be a title or a custom field id.
sort_order	string	Query	false	The direction the tickets are sorted. May be one of 'asc' or 'desc'
view_id	integer	Path	true	The ID of the view

Count Tickets in View

• GET /api/v2/views/{view_id}/count

Returns the ticket count for a single view.

This endpoint is rate limited to 5 requests per minute, per view, per agent.

View Counts

The view count endpoints, Count Tickets in View (this endpoint) and Count Tickets in Views, let you estimate how many tickets remain in a view without having to retrieve the entire view. They're designed to help estimate view size. From a business perspective, accuracy becomes less relevant as view size increases.

To ensure quality of service, these counts are cached more heavily as the number of tickets in a view grows. For a view with thousands of tickets, you can expect the count to be cached for 60-90 minutes. As a result, the count may not reflect the actual number of tickets in your view.

View counts are represented as JSON objects with the following attributes:

Name	Type	Comment
view_id	integer	The id of the view
url	string	The API url of the count
value	integer	The cached number of tickets in the view. Can also be null if the system is loading and caching new data. Not to be confused with 0 tickets
pretty	string	A pretty-printed text approximation of the view count
fresh	boolean	false if the cached data is stale and the system is still loading and caching new data
active	boolean	Only active views if true, inactive views if false, all views if null.

Example

{
  "view_count": {
    "view_id": 25,
    "url":     "https://company.zendesk.com/api/v2/views/25/count.json",
    "value":   719,
    "pretty":  "~700",
    "fresh":   true
  }
}

Name	Type	In	Required	Description
view_id	integer	Path	true	The ID of the view
