SUMMARY
This article describes how to use Microsoft Outlook 97 to define and apply custom views to a public folder so that other users are able to see the changes you've made.



Defining a Global View to a Public Folder
To make your custom view available to all users of the public folder, follow these steps:
 * 1) Select the Outlook object for which you are creating the new view.
 * 2) On the View menu, click Define Views and click New.
 * 3) Under "Can be used on" click to select, "this folder, visible to everyone."
 * 4) Enter the name you have chosen for the view and click to select the View Type from the list.
 * 5) Click OK and define the remaining format options for the view you are creating.
 * 6) Click OK, and Apply View.

The view you defined will be available to all users that have been given permissions to that public folder.
