Managing your views

Learn how to create, save, and manage your project views.

Creating a project view

Project views allow you to quickly view specific aspects of your project. Each view is displayed on a separate tab in your project.

For example, you can have:

  • A view that shows all items not yet started (filter on "Status").
  • A view that shows the workload for each team (group by a custom "Team" field).
  • A view that shows the items with the earliest target ship date (sort by a date field).

To add a new view:

  1. To the right of your existing views, click New view Screenshot showing the view tabs at the top of a project. The "New view" button is highlighted with an orange outline.

Alternatively, open the project command palette by pressing Command+K (Mac) or Ctrl+K (Windows/Linux) and start typing "New view."

The new view is automatically saved.

Duplicating a view

You can duplicate an existing view and use it as a base to make further changes.

  1. Switch to the view you want to duplicate.

  2. Click next to the name of the currently open view.

Saving changes to a view

When you make changes to a view - for example, sorting, reordering, filtering, or grouping the data in a view - a dot is displayed next to the view name to indicate that there are unsaved changes.

If you don't want to save the changes, you can ignore this indicator. No one else will see your changes.
