# Views, filters and flows

## Views

The **Views** sidebar lists a map's views. Add one with **New view**, and use a view's **⋯** menu to rename, duplicate, copy a link to, export to HTML or delete it.

Select a box and use **Add link** to link it to another view, so people can click from the big picture into a system. The sidebar nests each view under the view that links to it.

## Changing a map with Eraser AI

Open **Eraser AI** and ask for what you want: a new view, a deeper view of one system, a different grouping, filters or a flow. Each change uses [AI credits](/creating-a-map#ai-credits). You can also edit boxes and lines by hand, as on a canvas.

## Models and records

**Models** (`Ctrl 1`) lists the models on the map and adds others. Select a box to give it a record from one of them; in Present, clicking the box opens that record.

## Filters

**Filters** (`Ctrl 3`) picks which fields of a view's records to filter by, such as wave or owner. They show along the bottom of the view: check values there, and boxes that don't match fade. Each view keeps its own filters, and a value you check carries over to the next view with the same field.

## Flows

A flow walks through a view step by step – a request, a deployment, an incident. Ask Eraser AI to add one. Play it from **Flows** (`Ctrl 2`), or in Present from the button under the view's title, and step through it with the flow bar.

## Shortcuts

**New view**, **Models**, **Flows** and **Filters** are all in Command K (`⌘ K` / `Ctrl K`). In Chrome on Windows and Linux, `Ctrl 1`–`3` switch tabs, so use Command K there.
