Depending on your project needs, you may want to change how you are viewing your tasks across your layouts.
In list and board layouts, you can group your tasks in various ways. In calendar and roadmap layouts, you can achieve a similar effect using color.
To use a property for grouping or coloring, it must be visible in the layout. For example, if the assignee property has been hidden, it won't be available to group or color by until you re-add it to your view.
Group by for list and board layouts
List layout
In the list layout, your default organizational view is none - meaning your tasks will just show up as one long list.
To adjust the grouping, go to the top right corner of your screen and click on the dropdown menu, then click on "group by".
You are not limited to just status or priority. You can group by any visible property, such as:
None (default)
Priority (low, high, critical, etc.)
Status (to-do, doing, done, etc.)
Assignee
Tags
And more...
"None" default will show your tasks in the order they are created, until you filter and sort them differently. Priority will group your tasks from most to least critical and status will group from to-do to done, or in whatever order your statuses go.
For example, this is how a priority grouping would look in list layout:
You are able to drag your tasks around in the different groups. If you are in priority grouping, for example, you can pull a task up or down into other groupings to make it more or less of a priority, and once you place it in the new group, its priority level (or status, etc., depending on the grouping you are using) will change:
To hide any groups you do not want to see, toggle "Hide empty groups" to "on" from the layout editor in the top right corner.
Board layout
In the board layout, your default layout view is status (to-do, doing, etc.). However, you can also choose to group your tasks by:
Assignee (whoever is working on the task)
Tags
Priority (critical, high, low, etc.)
You can also choose to hide empty groups from your board. Use the layout editor in the dropdown menu at the top right to find your available options.

Here is what a board layout would look like if you chose to organize by priority:
Much like in list layouts, you can drag and drop tasks in between boards to automatically change their priority, status, etc.
Swimlanes
Swimlanes let you organize your board with an extra layer of filtering, making task management more visual and efficient. Lanes split the layout into rows, where each lane represents a distinct category based on the property you choose, such as assignee, priority, size, etc.
You may turn on the swimlanes feature by clicking the layout editor in the top right corner of your Dart screen.
A good setup to try is:
Group by status to track progress
Swimlanes by assignee to spotlight ownership
Color by in calendar and roadmap layouts
The roadmap and calendar layouts do not have a group by option. Instead, you can color by to organize your layouts.
Calendar layout
The calendar layout color option is none by default. However, you can choose to color by:
Assignee (whoever is working on the task)
Tags
Priority (low, high, critical, etc.)
Status (to-do, doing, etc.)
Here's how grouping by status using color would appear in a calendar layout:
Roadmap layout
By default, roadmap layouts have color by set to status so that you can easily see what step of project completion your tasks are at. However, you can choose instead to organize by:
None
Assignee (whoever is working on the task)
Tags
Priority (low, high, critical, etc.)
Status (to-do, doing, etc.)
Here's what a roadmap looks like when it shows priority by color:
