Ability to set 'Tile' or 'List' as a default view
Please allow libraries to be show in List view by default.
I don't mind tile view, but when I got to all the trouble of setting up columns and mandatory fields and it displays tiles by default for each new user, all the power of the document library metadata is hidden.
This happened for me when the library contained only PDFs

How far has development progressed with this feature? Can you show a reference link on the Microsoft o365 roadmap ?

This should be easy. At least, allow adding a custom parameter to the view URL to force the tiles/thumbnail mode

Need to be able to set default for list esp. in Picture Library. Most users are not savvy enough even after training users to select List in order to have access to the metadata, and quick edit.

This gets even more necessary with the introduction of Tiles in a list. The ability to create a custom Tile based on the list data is powerful and could have a lot of use cases; however, not having the control on defining 'Tile' as the default view makes it pointless. I do not have the ability to tell every individual person to change the view so they can see the data in the way I want them to.
As a Site Administrator, I need the ability to define the default view type (List, Compact, Tile), so that I can ensure all end users have the same experience when viewing the data by default.

I loathe tiles. They take up too much real estate and don't add any value.

Being able to select the default view of Lists/Lists webparts for all users would be *extremely* useful to design the user experience - please add this option.

This issue very effectively stops me from using Tiles in solutions - there's just no guarantee that an end-user will see what I want them to see.
It's been over 3 years since this was raised - surely some movement on it is justified, given the number of votes?

We should be able to set the default view type (Tiles or List).

I echo the previous comments to have the JSON-formatted tiles view able to be set as the default view for ALL users. We rolled them out and then discovered that users were seeing them in the default list view and had to change the view manually after which it worked each time. Staff just won't bother.

Has anyone successfully figured out how to add the Tiles View as the default view for "all" users? I

Desperately need forcing to tile view. The whole concept of our corporate intranet depends on it.
We took great pains to apply JSON formatting to our lists, yet when we embed via web part, it defaults to the last view accessed by the individual user. A simple URL parameter would suffice, a dedicated property in the list web part would be ideal. Please!!!

Yes we really need to be able to select the default View Style: Tiles, Compact List, List on creation of the view. Please create this option

This would be nice. For folks new to sharepoint the larger icons are familiar to what they see in Windows Explorer and easy to see, particularly for those with vision issues.

Microsoft Needs to add an Option to set a view (tiles/list) inside the List-Webpart settings

The option of setting up the style default view as Tiles will be very useful now that we can customize the tiles view using view formatting. Please, give us an update :)

I would like to be able to set a document library to tile view, and have that be the default for every user that view the page that the document library has been surfaced on.
