Views & Filters

Build custom filtered views with list and board layouts across any entity type.

Views let you create saved, filtered perspectives on your workspace data. Build a view once, and it's always up to date.

What is a View?

A view is a saved combination of:

  • Entity type — What you're looking at (actions, captures, contacts, projects, etc.)
  • Filters — Conditions that narrow down the results
  • Sort order — How results are ordered
  • Grouping — How results are categorized
  • Layout — List or board (kanban) display

Creating Views

  1. Navigate to any entity view (e.g., Actions)
  2. Apply filters, sorting, and grouping to get the data you want
  3. Save as a new view with a name
  4. The view appears in your sidebar for quick access

Layouts

List Layout

A compact table view showing entities as rows with sortable columns. Best for scanning large amounts of data.

Board Layout

A kanban-style view with columns representing a grouping property (typically status). Drag items between columns to update their properties. Best for visual workflow tracking.

Filtering

Views support advanced filtering with multiple conditions:

  • Status — Filter by workflow state or state category
  • Assignee — Filter by who's responsible
  • Priority — Filter by urgency level
  • Label — Filter by applied labels
  • Project — Filter by project association
  • Cycle — Filter by sprint/iteration
  • Due date — Filter by date ranges (overdue, this week, etc.)
  • Team — Filter by team
  • And more, depending on the entity type

Combine multiple filters with AND logic to create precise views.

Sorting and Grouping

  • Sort by any property in ascending or descending order
  • Group results by a property (status, assignee, priority, project, label) to create visual sections

View Scoping

Views can be scoped to different levels:

ScopeVisible to
PersonalOnly you
TeamMembers of a specific team
WorkspaceEveryone in the workspace

Favorites

Pin views you use frequently as favorites. Favorited views appear prominently in your sidebar for one-click access.

Duplication

Duplicate an existing view to create a variant with different filters or settings, without starting from scratch.
