Choose the task view that fits
By the end you’ll know which of the three task views to use for sorting, moving work along or planning the month.
Before you start
- A workspace with a few tasks on the board.
- 1
Read the work as a list
Open Tasks and choose List. Tasks are grouped by status. Click the Priority or Due Date column heading to sort by it. List is the only view that sorts.
- You now see every task as a row, in the order you asked for.
- 2
Move the work along on the board
Choose Board. Each status has its own column. Drag a card to another column to change its status. Use this view when you’re moving work along rather than reading through it.
- You now see the work laid out by the stage it is at.
- 3
See the month on the calendar
Choose Calendar. Every task with a due date appears on that day. Drag a task to another day to move its due date. Tasks without a due date don’t appear here, so leave the date empty for anything that isn’t a deadline.
- You now see the month with only the dated work on it.
What each view can do that the others cannot
- List
- Sorts. Click Priority or Due Date to order by it, and drag a row by its handle to reorder by hand inside a status group.
- Board
- Changes status by dragging a card between columns. It is the view Tasks opens on.
- Calendar
- Changes a due date by dragging a task onto another day, and shows only the tasks that have one.
Tips
- The view you are on is part of the address, so a link you send opens on the same view for whoever you send it to.
