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

Example

{    "execution": {      "columns": [        { "id": "status",  "title": "Status" },        { "id": "updated", "title": "Updated" },        {          "id": 5, "title": "Account", "type": "text",          "url": "https://example.zendesk.com/api/v2/ticket_fields/5.json"        },        ...      ]      "group": { "id": "status", "title": "Status", "order": "desc" },      "sort": { "id": "updated", "title": "Updated", "order": "desc" }    }}

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.

Name Description

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.

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'

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  }}
