Pinning a list view is a per-user action you do in the running app, not in Setup. These steps set a list view as the default that loads whenever you open an object in Lightning Experience.
- Open the object home
In Lightning Experience, click the object's tab in the navigation bar (for example Accounts or Cases) to open its home page and the list view controls.
- Pick the list view to make default
Open the list view dropdown in the top left of the list, then select the view you want as your starting point, such as a custom view or My Open Cases.
- Click the pin icon
With the view selected, click the pin icon next to its name in the dropdown. A filled pin shows it is now pinned and will load by default for that object.
- Change or repoint the pin later
To pin a different view, select that view and click its pin icon. The new view replaces the old one, since only one list can be pinned per object.
The single list view that loads by default for one object. Defaults to Recently Viewed until you pin another view.
The system list every org starts with as the pinned default. It cannot be filtered or charted, which is why people repin to a real view.
An alternative for cross-object access. Stores a direct link to a specific list view in the Favorites star menu instead of changing an object's default.
Adds the current list as a temporary tab in the navigation bar for the session, useful when you work one list intensively for a while.
- Pinned lists are per user and do not sync between browsers or devices.
- Clearing your browser cache resets the pin back to Recently Viewed.
- Only one list view can be pinned per object at a time; pinning a new one unpins the previous.
- Pinning sets the default view but does not add the list to your navigation; use Favorites or the nav bar for that.
