Layout editor

Learn how you can adjust various options to edit and choose between the list, board, calendar, and roadmap layouts

List layout

The list layout options can help you better visualize your tasks to help you understand everything at a glance. To adjust the visualization in a list layout, start by clicking on the layout editor—the far right button at the very top of your page:

When you have clicked on the list layout, you will have the option to organize your subtasks (collapse, indent, or align):

collapsing subtasks

Group by status (To-do, Doing, etc.):

Hide or show properties (Note: Title and Status will always show by default):

You can also set your property default values from this drop-down menu. Default values are what tasks will use when they are created in this dartboard.

Board layout

By default, your board layout will group columns by status, so that you can easily pull tasks along (from To-do, to Doing, to In Review, etc.). However, from the drop-down menu, you can change the layout to group either by tags or assignee as well. For example, here's how your board would show if you chose to group by assignee:

Similar to the list layout, you will be able to showcase how your subtasks will appear. You can choose to show them flat, collapsed, or indented:

Swimlanes

Swimlanes let you organize your board with an extra layer of filtering, making task management more visual and efficient. Each lane represents a distinct category based on the property you choose, such as assignee, priority, size, etc.

A good setup to try is:

  • Group by status to track progress

  • Swimlanes by assignee to spotlight ownership

Calendar layout

There are various filtering options in the calendar layout that can help you sort your tasks.

You can find the filter icon (three horizontal lines) at the top right of your calendar. Once you click on it, various calendar filters will show at the top left of your calendar:

Once your filters are visible, from the top left of your calendar, you can filter by status (To-do, Doing, In Review, Done, etc.):

You will also see the option to filter by assignee:

Roadmap layout

The roadmap layout can also be used for Gantt charts. Like other layout options, you'll be able to adjust your subtasks (Indented, Collapsed, or Flat), toggle to show or hide absent parents, color by assignee, tags, or status, and show a variety of properties:

Also, like other layout options, you can choose to filter by choosing the filter icon (three horizontal lines) from the top right of your roadmap layout. This allows you to filter for a variety of properties, including assignee, status, tags, and more:

Just to the left of your filtering options, you will also have a sort icon (up and down arrows) that will allow you to sort your roadmap via title, assignee, tags, due date, and status (in both ascending and descending order):
