Creating and using board views

Who can create views

You can create views based on a subset of all the board data to have better context while working. This is ideal for teams inside teams. Board views can be created and saved in kanban, list, matrix, and timeline layouts.

Anyone in a board can create new private views based on the data they can access, but only Admin can share views with other admins and members.

Creating and saving views

To create a new view, click the Create a view button () next to the Views menu,

• In the View configuration on the right side of the page, provide a name for your view.
• Choose a layout for your view.

   

• Based on the layout you’ve chosen, you can arrange the items into columns and groups.
  • For Kanban, group your items based on assignee, step, or custom user fields.
  • For List, group your items by the default list, assignees, steps, or custom fields.
  • For Matrix, arrange your items in columns and rows based on assignees, steps, and custom user fields.
• You can also add normal and advanced filter conditions to track specific items on your unique views. Click Done to save the view.

Note:

You cannot perform any actions on the view while making view configuration changes.

When a view is created, it’s automatically added under the Views menu. Click a specific view tab to access that view later. You can also pin views as tabs in your board.

As someone who created a view, you’ll have permission to delete a view or alter its existing view configuration by changing the layout and filter conditions.
