Task views are different ways of viewing tasks.
They give you completely unique views to visualize your tasks. With different ways of grouping, sorting, and filtering, you get complete control of how you see your tasks.
Plus, you can save your views for everyone else to see.
You'll start with List View and Board View to keep things simple, but you can change this at any time! You can even customize how they're built by default.
You can name views, drag and drop them, set them as defaults, and even protect them so no one makes unwanted changes!
