You can create custom Views using Advanced Find queries. These custom Views can be set to show when you open certain entities. In the example below we will be creating a custom View for the Contact entity.
To customize your View in this entity select the More Commands button (...) at the top of the form. Then select Create view.
Edit Filter Criteria
You can create a query for what kind of records show up in your View by adding filter criteria. If you do not set a filter all records in the entity will be displayed. For more information on setting an Advanced Find, Click here.

Once you have added a filter, click Save in the toolbar. Saving will prompt you to set a Name for your new View. You can even add a description if you like!

You can customize which fields you see in columns in the search results by adding the columns to your view. To do this, click Edit Columns in the toolbar and then click Add Columns on the right in the new window.
This will open another window where you can select the desired columns. The system will default to the entity that you are creating the View for, in this case Contact. You can also add columns from related entities by selecting a different Record Type in the drop down. Select the columns and click OK.

Configure Sorting
You can set the View to show data in a particular order by adjusting the sorting.
