Managing dozens of sub-accounts as a growing agency used to mean endless scrolling through card layouts, hunting for specific clients, and struggling to compare data across your portfolio. GoHighLevel's Tabular View feature eliminates that friction entirely.
Instead of clicking through cards one by one, Tabular View transforms your Sub-Accounts page into a powerful, spreadsheet-style table where you can sort, filter, and customize columns in seconds. Whether you're managing 5 clients or 500, this feature scales with your agency and keeps your workflow fast and organized.
In this guide, I'll walk you through exactly how to master Tabular View so you can manage your entire client base more efficiently—and spend less time organizing, more time growing. Ready to streamline your sub-account management? Start your free 30-day GoHighLevel trial here.
What Is Tabular View for Sub-Accounts?
Until recently, managing sub-accounts in GoHighLevel meant relying solely on Card View—a visual layout that displays each client as an individual card. While this approach offers a clean snapshot, it falls short when you need to efficiently compare data, search for specific accounts, or manage a growing roster of clients.
Tabular View fixes this problem by displaying all your sub-accounts in a spreadsheet-style table. Each client becomes a row, with customizable columns showing critical data like:
- Account Name — Your client's business name
- Status — Active, Paused, or Inactive
- Creation Date — When the account was set up
- Plan — The service tier or package level
- Users — Number of team members with access
- Custom fields — Any additional data relevant to your agency
This tabular format is designed specifically for agencies that need speed and clarity—especially those managing 20+ clients simultaneously. Instead of hunting through visual cards, you're working with structured data that's easy to scan, sort, and act on.
How to Switch Between Card View and Tabular View
Switching between views is straightforward and takes less than a second. Here's exactly how to do it:
- Log in to your GoHighLevel agency dashboard and navigate to the Sub-Accounts section (usually found in the main sidebar menu).
- Look at the top-right corner of your Sub-Accounts page. You'll see two view toggle buttons—one for Card View (typically grid icon) and one for Tabular View (typically list icon).
- Click the Tabular View icon to instantly switch to the spreadsheet layout.
That's it. Your view switches immediately, and GoHighLevel remembers your preference for future sessions. No data is lost or changed—you're simply viewing the same sub-accounts in a different format.
💡 Pro Tip
If you manage different teams or roles, some of your team members might prefer Card View while others love Tabular View. The good news? The preference is account-specific, so each team member can choose their own default layout without affecting others.

Master Sorting and Filtering Techniques
Once you're in Tabular View, the real power emerges: sorting and filtering. These features let you instantly organize your entire client roster by any criteria that matters to your workflow.
Sorting Your Sub-Accounts
Click any column header to sort by that column in ascending or descending order. For example:
- Click Status to group all active clients at the top, paused accounts below
- Click Creation Date to see your newest clients first—useful for onboarding follow-ups
- Click Plan to identify your high-value accounts or clients on specific packages
Each column header shows a small arrow indicating sort direction. Click again to reverse the order.
Filtering Your Client Base
Filters are even more powerful. Most Tabular Views include a filter button (usually a funnel icon) near the search bar. Use this to narrow your sub-accounts by:
- Status — Show only active accounts, or isolate paused clients for re-engagement campaigns
- Plan Type — Filter by service tier to quickly identify upgrade opportunities
- Date Range — See accounts created in the last 30 days (new clients) or older accounts (retained relationships)
- Custom Fields — If you've set up custom tags or metadata, filter by industry, location, revenue tier, or any custom field you've defined
Combine multiple filters to build highly specific views. For instance, you could filter for "Active accounts + Premium plan + Created in last 90 days" to identify your strongest recent additions in seconds.
Customize Columns for Your Workflow
Not every agency needs the same columns. That's why GoHighLevel lets you customize which data displays in your Tabular View.
To customize columns:
- Look for a columns or settings icon (typically three vertical dots or a grid icon) in the top-right area of your table.
- Click it to open the column manager.
- Check or uncheck columns to show or hide them from your view.
- Drag columns to reorder them (if the interface supports it) so your most-used data appears first.
- Save your preferences—GoHighLevel remembers your custom layout.
For example, if your billing team needs Account Name, Status, and Plan visible, but your support team needs Account Name, Users, and Last Activity Date, each can customize their view independently.
Best Practices for Managing Large Client Lists
As your agency scales, Tabular View becomes increasingly valuable. Here are proven strategies to maximize its effectiveness:
1. Create Standard Views for Different Teams
Set up a consistent column layout for each department. Sales teams might focus on Account Name, Status, and Plan. Support teams might prefer Account Name, Contact Info, and Last Service Date. Consistency reduces confusion and speeds up onboarding for new team members.
2. Use Search + Filter Combinations
Don't just sort—combine the search bar with filters. Search for a client by name while filtered to show only "Active + Premium Plan" accounts. This layered approach finds what you need instantly, even across hundreds of accounts.
3. Tag Accounts Strategically
If GoHighLevel supports custom tags or fields in your plan, use them liberally. Tag accounts by:
- Industry (e-commerce, B2B services, healthcare, etc.)
- Geographic location
- Revenue tier or contract value
- Renewal date or campaign milestone
- Risk level (churn-risk, growth-opportunity, etc.)
Then filter by these tags to pull actionable lists in seconds. For instance, filter for "Churn-Risk + Created > 12 months ago" to identify long-term clients who might need re-engagement.
4. Leverage Sort for Regular Audits
Schedule a weekly or monthly review. Sort by Status to spot accounts that need attention. Sort by Creation Date to identify clients who might benefit from check-ins. Use these insights to fuel your customer success strategy.
5. Export When Needed
If your GoHighLevel plan supports exporting Tabular View data to CSV or Excel, use this feature for deeper analysis, reporting to stakeholders, or batch operations in external tools.
💡 Pro Tip
Combine Tabular View with GoHighLevel's automation tools. Once you've filtered a group of clients, you can often trigger bulk actions—like sending a message to all "Paused" accounts or updating a field across multiple sub-accounts at once. This multiplies your efficiency exponentially.
The Bottom Line: Tabular View isn't just a cosmetic upgrade—it's a fundamental efficiency tool for scaling agencies. By mastering sorting, filtering, and customization, you'll cut the time spent managing your client roster in half while gaining better visibility into your entire portfolio.
