# ignored_views

> Excludes specific views from use in workbooks.

<Warning>
  This parameter can't be used if [`included_views`](/modeling/models/included-views) is in use.
</Warning>

Excludes specific views from use in workbooks.

Listed views will still be available for use in SQL queries.

<Note>
  Topics whose `base_view` is listed in `ignored_views` are automatically hidden in workbooks and excluded from model validation. No manual topic ignoring is required.
</Note>

## Syntax

```yaml theme={null}
# Values can be provided as an indented list
ignored_views:
  - users
  - main.products        # Schema and view separated by .
  - main__customers      # Schema and view separated by __

# Or as a comma-delimited list
ignored_views: [users, products]
```

Each value provided to this parameter must be the name of a view in the database connection:

* Fully-qualified view names (`<schema>.<view>` or `<schema>__<view>`) are supported.
* Use wildcard syntax (`\*`) to match multiple views within a schema

## Examples

```yaml theme={null}
ignored_views:
  - users
  - main.products
  - main__customers
```
