Views make it easy and quick for Managers and Admins to create different user groups. Cloning Views can be particularly helpful in the following cases -
- Template Views: When you’d like to use an existing Views as starting points for other Views.
- Iterative analysis: Make small changes to filters and compare employee performances across two or more Views.
- Collaboration: Admins might want to have the same View with both, shared and private, visibility settings.
