In Sharepoint document library, when we create a new document library, the default view is 'All Document'. This one:
We can make a custom view from View > Create View (at the upper right corner of document library view). I created a new standard view and named it 'Chromed View'. I edited it, then I saw that this view only applied on current document library:
The other document libraries cannot use this view.
I develop a system that triggers document library creation from CRM (the document library's view from CRM Iframe is using that chromed view). The creation itself went well, I can create document library using Sharepoint web services. But I still cannot apply a custom view automatically for that newly created doc lib.
My question is, can we make a view that is global (not in one document library only) so that we can use that global view for any document library.
Thanks b4 for any opinion 🙂

You could also create a new custom document library type, with the view embedded in it. Whenever a new library is created from the new doc lib type, it will get the new view.
This is still a not truly "global" view, and you may have the same problems if the view gets changed (the view won't be updated on document libraries that have been created with previous versions of the view).
