I've tried this. &nbsp;It doesn't seem to work. &nbsp;On the Administration tab you get options like Group by Subject and so on that have nothing to do with the Views that are possible through the View menu in Outlook. &nbsp;I was looking for something that would enable me to set a view, for example in Tasks, with certain column headers (like Requested by etc.) and have the folder come up like that when other users access it. &nbsp;<br />
I am not sure what these views on the Administration tab do, I didn't see any difference when I tried them.

Thanks Janet. &nbsp;Didn't quite realize at first that I need to create a completely new view rather than modifying an existing one.

<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I would like to set a custom view (custom topic grouping and custom columns) so that everybody that accesses this public folder automatically sees this view rather than the standard view. &nbsp;<br />
I noticed an option under folder preferences on the Admin tab that seems to let you group conversations by topic. &nbsp;How does that work and how do I get everybody to use the same column titles as well?
