What are Private Views?

Private Views are an integrated presentation tool for sharing inventory with your collectors. Use Private Views when you want to share a specific selection of works without creating a public website page.

A Private View link is unique and unguessable, giving you control over who sees the page. The link looks something like this: https://click.artcld.com/privateView/b96f75e8-50fb-4a52-b929-411d4ef48b88?sub=396a0a9d-a715-4fc5-b02b-dd6ece3e6f3e.

Common Private View uses include:

• Presenting inventory to a prospective buyer

• Listing works exhibited at an art fair

• Giving exclusive access to new works

Create a Private View

Navigate to Sales & Marketing >> Private Views and click "Create Private View."

Add a title and optional subtitle.

Edit the title, subtitle, and description anytime from the Content tab in the Private View builder.

Add and Edit Inventory

In the Private View builder, add inventory one by one or from a list. Selecting either option opens a popup to search and select your inventory or lists. 

Manage the inventory in the Private View on the Artworks tab.

• Reorder: Sort by artist, title, price, or year, or drag and drop items into a custom order.

  

• Add: Click the plus icon to add items from your inventory or a list.

• Remove: Hover over an inventory item and click the red trashcan icon.

Adjust Settings

Control the following on the settings tab: 

• Artwork details: Turn on medium, price, dimensions, and availability toggles. Artist name and title always display.

• Allow inquiries: Turn on the toggle to add an inquiry button to the Private View. Viewers submit a form and ArtCloud notifies you of the submission.

• Column count

• Company name and logo override

Preview 

As you build the Private View, click the Preview button for an interactive, full-page preview.

The builder displays 12 inventory items and doesn't support clicking into individual artworks while editing. The Preview shows all inventory in the Private View and lets you open detail pages for each artwork. Click an artwork to view more details and use the Previous and Next buttons to move between items.

Publish and Share 

Click "Publish" at the top right. ArtCloud will generate a Private View URL to share with your intended audience.

Collect the URL from the overview page or, on the Private View tab, hover over the item and select "Copy Link" from the Actions dropdown.

After publishing, a summary screen confirms the page is live and displays details about the Private View.

You can continue editing the Private View after publishing. As you make changes to a published Private View, a banner indicates your unpublished changes. Click Update to apply changes to the live Private View.

Analytics

After publishing a Private View, open its record to view analytics. Track the total views, artwork views, and inquiries.
