Lists the ways you can display the same work, such as a list, a board, a calendar, a table or a timeline.

What it is

This feature lists the ways you can display the same tasks, such as a list, a board, a calendar, a timeline or a table. Different people prefer different layouts, and different kinds of work suit different layouts. For example, a board with columns suits a content pipeline, while a calendar suits deadlines. The range of views a tool offers shows how flexible it is for your team.

Why it matters

People think about work in different ways. A manager may want a timeline, a designer a board and an accountant a table. If a tool offers only one layout, some people will find it awkward and fall back on spreadsheets. It matters when several roles share the same project data. If your work follows one simple pattern, a tool with fewer views can be easier to learn and perfectly adequate.

What to check

  • Check that the views you actually need are listed, not only the number of views.
  • Ask whether the same data appears in each view or whether some views are separate.
  • Test whether you can save a view with its own filters and share it with the team.
  • Ask whether some views are limited to higher plans.
