# POST /AssociateDefaultView

`POST /AssociateDefaultView`

Sets the specified view as the default for the Amazon Web Services Region in which you call this operation. When a user performs a Search that doesn't explicitly specify which view to use, then Amazon Web Services Resource Explorer automatically chooses this default view for searches performed in this Amazon Web Services Region.

If an Amazon Web Services Region doesn't have a default view configured, then users must explicitly specify a view with every `Search` operation performed in that Region.

## Request body

- object
  - `ViewArn` string, required — The <a href="https://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/aws-arns-and-namespaces.html">Amazon resource name (ARN)</a> of the view to set as the default for the Amazon Web Services Region and Amazon Web Services account in which you call this operation. The specified view must already exist in the called Region.
