Let's say you use GravityView to show healthcare providers serving your hospital.

By default, GravityView uses `example.com/view/entry/123/` as the URL structure, where `123` is the entry's ID. You will want to change `/view/entry/123/` to `/providers/reference/ref-123/` to improve the URL structure of the site and help your site's SEO value.

## Global Settings

To modify these URL parts globally (for all Views on the website) please follow these instructions:

- Under the GravityKit menu, click on the Settings page;
- Once inside the Settings page, locate the GravityView tab and click on the Permalinks section;
- On the right side of the screen, you can change the custom post type slug: `/view/`;
- The endpoint `/entry/`;
- And the entry slug `/123/`;
- Please make sure to save the settings at the end.

### Per View Settings

You can also change the entry slug for each particular View by modifying it directly inside the View Settings metabox.
