# Global view, personal and helpdesk

The display of columns in a GLPI object list can be configured according to 3 possible views: **global**, **personal**, supplemented by the **helpdesk** view, specific to support.

* **Global View**: The view displayed by default for profiles with a standard interface.
* **Personal View**: A view that can be modified by the user with a profile having a standard interface. This view will replace the global view (which can be modified or deleted at any time).
* **Helpdesk View**: A view specific to support. It allows displaying columns for profiles with a simplified interface.

These views can be configured using the icon ![](https://304570660-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2Fuys4bnfAs7Oe2yWUUh3p%2Fuploads%2F3ZQmCUmELhq6Uk9iiyjx%2Ftable-row.svg?alt=media\&token=9c3f25dc-bf1e-4d63-a0ae-182ce8914949)

Each view can be configured from the object in question (computers, tickets, projects, etc.). Depending on the permissions granted to the different [profiles](/documentation/12-en/administration/profiles.md), it will be possible to modify the **global view** for all users.

The **personal view** will be modified by the user for one or more chosen objects.

The **helpdesk** view can be modified by the user with the necessary permissions.

{% hint style="success" icon="lightbulb-on" %}
Permissions for modifying views are found in **`Administration`** > **`Profiles`** > *My\_Profile* > **`Setup`** > **`Search result display`**
{% endhint %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.glpi-project.org/documentation/12-en/overview/global-view-personal-and-helpdesk.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
