List View

The List view is the default view for every new board table. It presents your data in a familiar spreadsheet-style grid where each row is an item and each column is a field. If you are comfortable working in a traditional table layout, the List view gives you the most direct access to your data with powerful controls for sorting, filtering, grouping, and inline editing.

Column Management​

Reordering Columns​

Drag any column header to a new position to rearrange the order in which fields appear. The title column is always pinned to the left and cannot be moved.

Resizing Columns​

Hover over the border between two column headers until you see the resize cursor, then drag left or right to adjust the column width. Each column remembers its width per view.

Hiding and Showing Columns​

Click the Hide Columns button in the toolbar to open a popover listing all available columns. Toggle the visibility of each column with a checkbox. Hidden columns still exist in the data --- they are simply not displayed in this view.

Adding Columns​

Click the + button at the far right of the header row to add a new column. Choose from the available field types (Text, Number, Status, Date, Users, and more) and give the column a name.

Sorting​

Click the Sort button in the toolbar to define one or more sort rules. Each rule specifies a column and a direction (ascending or descending). When multiple sort rules are active, they are applied in order --- the first rule is the primary sort, the second rule breaks ties, and so on. A badge on the Sort button shows the number of active sort rules.

Filtering​

Click the Filter button to build filter conditions. Each condition targets a specific column, applies an operator (equals, contains, is empty, greater than, etc.), and compares against a value. You can combine multiple conditions with AND/OR logic to create precise queries. Filters apply in real time as you configure them.

Grouping​

Click the Group By button to group rows by a Status, Dropdown, or Users column. When grouping is active, rows are clustered under collapsible headers that display the group value and a count of items. You can expand or collapse individual groups, making it easy to focus on a specific category.

Row Summary​

When creating or editing a List view, you can enable the Show Summary option. This adds a summary row at the bottom of each group (or at the bottom of the table if no grouping is active). Summary rows can display aggregate values such as count, sum, average, minimum, and maximum for numeric columns, and label or status distributions for categorical columns.

Inline Editing​

Every cell in the List view is editable. Click on a cell to activate it and type a new value. For structured column types like Status, Dropdown, Date, or Users, a dedicated editor (dropdown menu, date picker, or member selector) appears automatically. Changes are saved as soon as you move to another cell or press Enter.

Bulk Actions​

Select multiple rows using the checkbox column on the left. Once you have a selection, a bulk actions toolbar appears at the bottom of the view, letting you:

  • Update columns --- Set the same value for a specific column across all selected rows.
  • Move --- Move selected rows to another table within the board.
  • Delete --- Remove all selected rows at once.

Row Details​

Click on the row ID or title to open the full row detail dialog. This dialog shows all columns (including hidden ones), an activity log, and allows you to edit every field in a dedicated form layout.

Tips​

  • Use Ctrl+F (or Cmd+F on Mac) to activate the in-view search bar for quick keyword filtering.
  • Combine grouping and sorting for maximum clarity --- for example, group by Status and sort by Due Date within each group.
  • Enable the summary row to get at-a-glance aggregates without leaving the view.
