The same tasks are shown three ways. Pick the one that matches what you are doing right now.

​
Switching views

Open a project and use the tab strip at the top: Overview, List, Board, Settings. The chosen tab is written into the page URL, so a link to a board is a link to a board and the Back button behaves. The Tasks page is a separate sidebar entry, not a project tab. See /tasks/my-tasks.

​
The List tab

The List tab renders one table per section. Each section is a card with its own header and its own table.

​
Section header

Above all the sections sits an Add section button.

​
Columns

Column widths are fixed, so every section’s table lines up down the page.

​
Row controls

  • Checkbox – ticking moves the task into the project’s Done section; unticking moves it back to a not-started section.
  • Parent chip – on a subtask row, the parent’s task number. Hover it to see the parent title.
  • + (on hover) – add a subtask. Only on top-level rows.
  • Timer button (on hover) – start or stop the timer on this task. It stays visible while the timer runs.

​
Drag and drop

  • Drag a row to reorder it inside a section, or across into another section. A line shows exactly where it will land.
  • Drag a section header to reorder the sections.
  • Dropping onto an empty part of a section card appends the task to the end.
Drag is pointer-based. For a pointer-free way to reorder sections, use Move left and Move right in the section’s three-dot menu.

​
Empty state

A project with no sections shows “No sections yet” and invites you to add one. A section with no tasks shows “No tasks yet.”

​
The Board tab

The Board tab is a kanban board with a control strip along the top.

​
Toolbar

Group by in detail: Within-column reordering is only meaningful under Section grouping, because that is the order the product stores. Display toggles:
  • Compact mode
  • Show section
  • Show assignee
  • Show priority
  • Show due date
  • Show estimate
  • Show recorded time

​
Filter popover

Three groups of checkboxes – Assignee, Priority and Section – plus a Reset filters button. Each active choice also appears as a removable chip below the toolbar. An empty group means that facet is not filtering. Full detail is at /tasks/filters-and-sorting.

​
Columns

An empty column shows a quiet placeholder and a full-width Add task affordance.

​
Cards

A card carries the task number, an overdue or scope badge, the assignee avatar, the title, a recurring marker, the due date, priority, tags, a subtask count as done/total, collaborator avatars and the estimate – as far as the Display toggles allow. Click a card to open the task. Cmd-click (or Ctrl-click) selects it for a bulk action instead – see /tasks/bulk-actions. Subtasks get their own cards on the board, in their own columns, because each one has its own stage.

​
The Tasks page

The personal day view: your work across every project, grouped by the day it is due, with a quick add bar and drag-to-reschedule. Covered in full at /tasks/my-tasks.

​
Which view to use

​
Example

Priya Raman opens Bluebird Coffee – Website Redesign. She starts on the List tab to read the numbers: the In progress section header shows 5 tasks and 12:30 tracked, and the Est column tells her three of them are over their estimate. She switches to Board, sets Group to Assignee and sees eight cards under Sarah Lin and one under Jonas Bergman. She drags two cards onto Jonas to level the load. Sarah opens the Tasks page, sees those two tasks gone from her Today bucket, and gets on with the rest.

​
Options and settings

Your chosen Group, Sort, Filter and Display settings apply to the board you are looking at. Filters and search narrow the cards before they are bucketed into columns, so column counts always match what is on screen.

​
Permissions

Every view shows only the projects you can reach. A task in a project outside your visibility never appears in any of them, including on your own Tasks page – being assigned a task is not a grant of the project around it. The Projects & tasks app must be on. See /concepts/apps-and-modules.

​
Common questions

Tasks themselves are shown by day on the Tasks page. Tracked time has its own weekly calendar at /time-tracking/calendar-view, and planned work sits in the /planner/overview.
The list columns are fixed – Task, Time, Est, Assignee, Tags, Due. The board is where you choose what is shown, through the Display popover.
Because a subtask has its own stage. A finished subtask belongs under Done, not hidden inside a parent that is still in progress. Its card names the parent.
Dragging across columns changes the field. Manual ordering is stored per section, so reordering within a column is meaningful under Section grouping.
Not currently. Use the section three-dot menu’s Move left and Move right to reorder sections, and the Stage field in the task detail to move a task between sections.

​
Troubleshooting

Check the board’s Search box and the Filter count badge. Clear filters with Reset filters.
A filter or search is active. The chips under the toolbar show what is currently narrowing the board.
The move was refused – usually a permission problem, or the target section belongs to another project. Refresh and try again.
The list and board load a project’s tasks in one go. Very large projects are heavier. Splitting long-running work into more projects keeps each board fast.
