Box view helps you answer these three questions:
- What are people working on?
- What have people done?
- Who needs more tasks and who has too many tasks?
With Box view, you can also see Workload charts for tasks, time estimates, and even agile/scrum points!
Plus, managing resources is as easy as drag and drop.

How to Use Box View
Boxes
Each box in this view represents a person or a box for 'unassigned' tasks.
Boxes contain workload details for each person in the group of tasks (Space, Folder, or List) that you're viewing.
Tasks are grouped by status to give you a better vision of the state of work for each Workspace member.
Task Progress:
Task progress is based on tasks in done or closed statuses vs those in active statuses.
Time Progress:
To see time estimates, choose the "Time Estimate" option from the dropdown menu here:
Here's what you'll see in each person's box:
Time progress is based on the time estimated for tasks in done or closed statuses vs those in active statuses.
Sprint Points:
Display your Sprint Points in Box View to measure your Workspace's progress:
Alternative: Create a number custom field for your sprints in ClickUp.
Workload
Workspaces on the Business Plan will have access to Box View's Workload Report:
This gives you quick insight into who in your Workspace gets the most done, has the most open tasks, and who could use a bit more to do.
You can base Workload progress on:
- Tasks completed (done/ not done)
- Time estimated
- Sprint Points
