How to Use the Make.com Grid View
The Make.com grid view is the central workspace where you browse, search, and manage scenarios, folders, and dashboards across your organization. This how-to guide walks you step by step through understanding the interface, controlling what you see, and quickly taking action on your automation assets.
All instructions below are based on the official Make.com help page. For reference, you can also open the original documentation at the Make.com grid support article.
Overview of the Make.com Grid
The grid is a flexible list that displays resources such as scenarios, folders, and dashboards in a table-like layout. It supports searching, filtering, sorting, and quick actions so you can manage many items at once.
In general, the Make.com grid is composed of:
- A main panel with the list of items (scenarios, folders, dashboards).
- Columns that display key attributes.
- Sorting and filtering tools.
- Search and selection controls.
Depending on which workspace section you open, the grid automatically switches context to show only relevant items.
Accessing the Make.com Grid
You can open the grid from multiple parts of your organization. Each entry point focuses the grid on a specific type of content and location.
Open Make.com grid from the Home page
From the Home section, the grid appears by default and usually shows a curated list such as recent or relevant items. Use this view to quickly return to work you handled recently.
Open Make.com grid from Scenarios
To work with all scenarios in a specific organization and team:
- Select the correct organization in the top navigation.
- Open the Scenarios section.
- The Make.com grid will list all scenarios you have permission to view in that team or workspace.
This view is ideal when you need to audit, search, or bulk edit scenarios.
Open grid from Folders and Dashboards
The grid is also available when you navigate into folders or dashboards.
- Folders: When you open a folder, the grid lists only items stored inside that folder and its sub-structure.
- Dashboards: When you open a dashboard area, the grid displays dashboard entries you can manage or open.
These contextual entries help you stay focused on a specific part of your Make.com setup.
Understanding the Make.com Grid Layout
The layout of the grid is similar across sections, but some columns and options can change according to the resource type. The main elements include:
- Header bar: Controls search, filters, sorting, and view settings.
- Columns: Show details such as name, owner, last run, status, and more.
- Row actions: Quick options attached to each item (for example, open, rename, move).
- Bulk actions: Options for editing or moving multiple items at once when several rows are selected.
Use the header and column controls to tailor the grid to the exact information you need to see.
How to Browse and Search in the Make.com Grid
The grid is optimized for fast searching and navigation when you handle many scenarios or folders.
Search within the Make.com grid
Use the search bar at the top of the grid to find specific items. You can usually search by:
- Name or partial name of a scenario or folder.
- Other visible text fields, depending on the current grid view.
As you type, the grid updates the list according to your query, helping you focus on matching results only.
Navigate folders in the grid
When viewing folders in Make.com:
- Click a folder row in the grid to open its content.
- Use breadcrumb or navigation controls (if visible) to move back up the hierarchy.
- Apply the same search and filtering tools to find items inside the selected folder.
This folder navigation makes it easier to organize scenarios into logical structures without losing the benefits of the grid interface.
Filtering and Sorting in the Make.com Grid
To refine what appears in the grid, use the available filters and sorting options located in the header.
Apply filters in Make.com grid
While the exact filters vary by resource type, you commonly can filter items by:
- Owner or team.
- Status or activity.
- Last updated or last run.
- Location (such as folder or dashboard association).
Combining multiple filters helps narrow the list down to just the items that require your attention.
Sort your Make.com items
Click column headers to sort the grid by that column. Typical sort options include:
- Name: Alphabetical order.
- Date: Such as last modified or last executed.
- Status or priority: To bring critical items to the top.
Sorting can be toggled between ascending and descending, letting you quickly change the perspective on your data.
Performing Actions in the Make.com Grid
The grid is not just for viewing; it is also where you initiate many actions on your Make.com resources.
Row-level actions
Each row in the grid may include a menu or icons for quick actions. Depending on the type of item, these may include:
- Open or edit a scenario.
- Rename an item.
- Duplicate or copy.
- Move to a different folder or dashboard.
- Delete or archive.
Use row-level actions when you need to operate on a single item.
Bulk actions with multiple selections
To manage several items at once:
- Select the checkboxes next to each relevant row.
- Look for the bulk action toolbar that appears (typically above the grid).
- Choose an action, such as moving items, changing ownership, or deleting them.
Bulk actions save time when reorganizing large sets of scenarios or cleaning up outdated content.
Tips for Working Efficiently in Make.com Grid View
To get the most from the Make.com grid experience, follow these practical tips:
- Use meaningful names: Clear scenario and folder names make search and sorting much more effective.
- Group related scenarios: Place them in folders so the grid remains readable even for large organizations.
- Leverage filters regularly: Filter by owner or activity to focus on work in progress or items that require review.
- Combine search and filters: Use both to pinpoint exactly the scenario or dashboard you need.
Efficient use of the grid is essential for teams that depend on automation and need quick visibility into their assets.
