Getting Started with the Make.com Grid
The Make.com grid is the central workspace where you view, organize, and manage all your scenarios in a flexible, card-based interface. This guide explains how to use the grid step by step so you can quickly find, sort, and work with your automations.
What the Make.com Grid Is
The grid is a visual overview of your scenarios. Each scenario is represented as a card showing key details, and you can switch between different layouts and views to match how you like to work.
From the grid you can:
- Browse all scenarios in a single place
- Change how scenario information is displayed
- Filter and sort scenarios based on multiple properties
- Search and navigate faster
Elements of the Make.com Grid Interface
Before customizing the grid, it helps to understand its main elements. The interface is divided into several functional sections.
Header Bar in the Make.com Grid
The header at the top of the grid provides access to global controls and settings. Depending on your role and plan, you may see options such as:
- Search field to locate scenarios by name
- Buttons to create a new scenario
- Account or organization menu
- Help and documentation links
These controls stay visible so you can quickly start new work or move between sections.
View Tabs in the Make.com Grid
Below the header, you will find tabs or controls that let you switch between different views. A view is a saved configuration that defines which scenarios appear and how they are shown.
A view can store:
- Active filters and search criteria
- Sort order for scenario properties
- Grid layout and visible fields
Switching views allows you to focus on a particular group of scenarios, such as recently edited, active, or specific project-related automations.
Scenario Cards in the Make.com Grid
Each scenario is displayed as a card. These cards provide quick access to key information at a glance, for example:
- Scenario name
- Status (draft, active, inactive)
- Owner or last editor
- Last run time or last updated date
Scenario cards can often be clicked to open the full scenario editor or to access additional actions from context menus.
How to Change Views in Make.com
Views determine how information is displayed and which scenarios appear in the grid. You can easily change views to work more efficiently.
Switching Between Existing Make.com Views
- Locate the view selector or tabs at the top of the grid.
- Click the name of the view you want to open (for example, All scenarios, Active scenarios, or a custom view).
- Wait for the grid to refresh and show the scenarios that match that view.
Each view can have its own filters, sorting, and grid layout. Switching between them helps you navigate large numbers of scenarios.
Adjusting the Layout in a Make.com View
Within a chosen view, you can typically adjust how cards are displayed. Depending on the available settings, you might be able to:
- Change between compact and detailed card layouts
- Show or hide specific fields on cards
- Modify column or row layout options, if available
These layout options help you highlight the information that matters most for a particular workflow.
Filtering Scenarios in the Make.com Grid
Filters are one of the most powerful ways to control which scenarios you see in the grid. By using filters, you can narrow the list down to only the items that match specific criteria.
Adding Filters in the Make.com Grid
- Locate the filter panel or filter button above the grid.
- Click to open the filter controls.
- Select a property to filter by, such as status, owner, tag, or last run date.
- Choose an operator (for example, is, is not, contains, before, after) and set the desired value.
- Apply the filter to update the scenario list.
You can usually add multiple filters to create more precise results, such as all active scenarios owned by a specific user.
Managing and Clearing Filters
To keep your Make.com workspace tidy, it is important to manage filters effectively.
- To temporarily disable a filter, uncheck or toggle it off if that option is available.
- To remove a filter completely, use the delete or remove icon next to the filter condition.
- To return to an unfiltered view, use a Clear filters or Reset option.
Managing filters ensures you always know why certain scenarios are visible or hidden.
Sorting and Searching in Make.com
Sorting and search tools help you quickly find scenarios when your grid contains many records.
Sorting Scenarios in the Make.com Grid
- Look for a Sort menu or column-based sorting control.
- Choose the property you want to sort by (for example, name, status, last updated).
- Select ascending or descending order.
The grid then reorders the scenario cards to match the selected sorting preference. Combined with filters, this makes it much easier to locate the right automation.
Searching for Scenarios in Make.com
The search field in the header lets you find scenarios by name or other supported attributes.
- Click the search box at the top of the page.
- Type a search term, such as part of a scenario name.
- Review the resulting list of matching scenarios in the grid.
Search can be used together with views and filters to zero in on exactly what you need.
Customizing Cards in the Make.com Grid
Card customization allows you to control which details appear on each scenario card so you can scan information faster.
Selecting Fields to Display on Make.com Cards
- Open the card or grid customization menu, often represented by a settings or layout icon.
- In the configuration panel, choose which fields or properties you want to show.
- Apply your changes to update all cards in the current view.
Typical fields include owner, tags, scenario ID, scheduling information, and dates. Choose only what you need to keep the grid readable.
Saving Customizations in a Make.com View
Once you configure filters, sorting, and card fields, you may be able to save those settings into a custom view for later use.
- Open the view menu near the top of the grid.
- Select the option to save or update the current view.
- Give the view a descriptive name, such as Active marketing scenarios.
- Confirm and save your settings.
Saved views help you and your team return to a consistent layout and set of filters at any time.
