I have two lists : one containing all employee details and other with employee id and employee name only as lookup columns. When I click on the Employee name in second list which is a lookup from first list, it opens complete details of that Employee from first list. I don't want to see all the details when doing so, but to see a limited items. How can I do that ? Is there any way ? Can anyone suggest me some solution? Thanks in advance.

I think you should create separate display form for the lookup column list. So when you click on the Employee name, it should redirect to your created display form of an item. In that you can have your custom columns whichever you want.

Not new view but new display form. You can create new display form using SharePoint Designer for any particular lists. So when you try to open the list item details, it will be displayed on the from. Refer this link: Create custom list form using SharePoint Designer.
