Create a People List that you can access anytime.
If you find yourself applying the same user filters every time you go to the People section, you should consider creating a custom People List. Your People List will remember that configuration so that the same filters and columns are applied each time you open it.
You can even create multiple custom People Lists to quickly and easily switch between certain filters and layouts.

Customize People List columns
An advantage of People Lists is that you can customize which columns appear on your List. For example, you can add columns that reveal login information such as whether someone's account has been activated or display insights to a user's permissions, such as Role and Network Location.
You can change the columns on your People List temporarily or you can make permanent changes.
Temporarily change the columns
To change the columns on your People List:
- Hover over the header of an existing column on your People List. A drop-down arrow will appear.
- Select the drop-down arrow.
- In the resulting menu, hover over Columns. You'll see a list of all the available columns you can add to your People List.
- Select the checkbox next to a column name to add it to your List.
- Unselect the checkbox next to a column name to remove it from your List.
Your changes will be temporary until you save your People List with the updated columns.
Save your column changes
Whenever you update the columns on your People List, you must re-save your People List for the changes to persist the next time you view the List.
To save your People List:
- Select the filter icon to open the User Filter.
- Select Create New List at the bottom of the User Filter. A field will appear where you can name your List.
- Enter a title for your People List. You can either keep the previous title or update it.
- Select Save.
