      I've created a type: http://www.freebase.com/type/view/user/mlevison/agile_software_development/functional_test_tools and wish to change the properties that visitors will see in the default case (i.e no image, etc). How can I achieve that?

      The whole goal of this is to build a repository of "Functional test tools" that users can quickly scan to figure out which tool they need.

      As it stands the default view is of no interest.

      Confused in Ottawa

        You can't actually save a view, per se -- you can only save a filter.  E.g., if you filtered the view of your type for Domain Specific Language = "yes", you could save that.  However, there is currently a work-around (although I doubt this was intentional and I can't promise that it will be around forever) -- if you click the "filter results" button, a field labeled "save view as" will appear; you can enter a name and save the view without actually running a filter. The saved view will then appear on your homepage (I think), and will have a stable URL.

        For what it's worth, I believe this is the intended functionality, and that you *should* be able to save a view even if you haven't filtered.  They just hid the "save as" thing back there because of screen real estate concerns.
