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!
How to add a Task view
All views are added by choosing +View in the Views Bar.
Click +View.

List view

Show all subtasks under their parents, by themselves, or just keep them hidden. No more sorting and filtering to see subtasks
Add calculations to your columns. Have a column of time estimates? ClickUp will tell you the sum, average, or range of all estimated time in that column
