Task views are different ways of viewing tasks.
They give you completely unique layouts 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 just List view to keep things simple, which is the only default required view, 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!
