Choose Board or List view for tasks

Choose the presentation that matches how you review work. Board and List show the same tasks and groups; changing the presentation does not create or move a task.

Board view

Board places work in To Do, In Progress, and Complete columns. Use it when the status of each task matters most or when you want to scan where work has stalled. A task group appears in the column for the group's status, with its child tasks shown inside the group when expanded.

On the Board, a task or task group can be moved to another status column. A task moved into a group must belong to the same event as that group. A task taken out of a group becomes a standalone task.

Select Board above the tasks to see the three status columns. The circled view button switches to this presentation.

List view

List arranges the same work in a compact list. On a wide screen, the list can show Status, Task, Event, Due, Assignee, and Controls. On the Tasks page, the Event column helps you distinguish tasks belonging to different events. On smaller screens, these fields are stacked into each task's row.

Task groups appear as group rows with their progress summary, followed by the visible child tasks. Use Show All on a group when you need to review every child task instead of the group's preview.

To compare work in rows, select List in the view control above the tasks. Review the Event, Due, and Assignee columns, then select Board to return to status lanes. The screenshot shows the populated List presentation and its event-specific columns.

Choose a view

Use Board when status lanes help you decide what to work on next. Use List when comparing event names, due dates, assignees, and task controls is more useful.

To make the presentation part of your normal Tasks page setup, choose Board or List, set the filters you want to keep, then select the star labeled Save current view as default. The saved default belongs to your account and workspace in this browser. It does not change another member's view. See Filter tasks on the Tasks page for the other saved choices.
