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

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.

i would prefere the tile view and want to save this per document library basis.
another option is to select the default as a querystring parameter. - maybe there is an option for an SPFX extension?

This is a glaring omission that should be sorted - specify the View style as a property of the View. However, it would require a change to the View edit screen which is still in Classic and I expect until MS have replaced the Classic Editor with a NE one this won't happen.
Prove me wrong please MS!

I would really like to see the styles that are available from the drop down view menu (compact list, tiles) available in the modify view screen so that we can set a view to one of those styles.

It's been over two years since this post was opened. Are there any plans to add such a basic and desired feature to SharePoint?

Our document libraries consist of primarily scanned PDFs so they come into our library with zero meta data already assigned. List view is basically useless for newly scanned documents as it just shows a time-stamp-based name. Tile view gives us an idea of what the document is before the meta data has been assigned. So if we need to find something quickly tile view is key. It's cumbersome to constantly have to manually change to tile view every time we load up.
