# Create a view

> `POST` `/v1/views`

URL: https://www.agencytitan.com/docs/tag/views/POST/v1/views

Operation ID: `views_create`

Tag: [views](https://www.agencytitan.com/docs/tag/views.md)

## Description

Create or add a top-level view object using the richer live editor settings surface.
Use this when the user wants:
- a global, client, or process view
- a dashboard or custom data workspace
- object-level settings like visibility, slug, or refresh behavior
- optionally a complete published view layout in the same call

Dashboard guidance:
- infer the questions a manager should answer from the process/domain context
- do not default to a headline plus one table when the user clearly wants a dashboard
- include actual dashboard structure when the request calls for KPIs, process health, progress, deliverable oversight, monitoring, or reporting

IMPORTANT:
- Client-scoped views do not use scope_id.
- Process-scoped views require scope_id.
- The top-level view object and the layout tree remain separate contracts even when created together.
