Creating a Lens

Creating a Lens: Method 1

To create a new Lens, start by clicking on the filter icon.

Next, use the Lens configurator to craft your search by applying the appropriate search filters.

Once your filters are set, click the 'Save to Lens' button.

A form will then appear where you’ll need to provide detailed information to define the purpose of your Lens. Make sure to give it a unique and descriptive name, along with a clear and concise description.

Set the notification preferences for your Lens. This will determine how members are alerted to updates, discussions, and shared content related to the Lens.

You can then share your Lens with colleagues. When sharing, you’ll have the option to grant either "view only" or "edit" permissions. Your colleagues will receive email notifications when the Lens is shared with them.

To access your saved Lenses, including those you've created or those shared with you, click on the blue arrow tab located on the left side of the screen.
