# Board, timeline and list

> Three ways to look at the same tasks, and when each one is the right choice.

Every project has a **Tasks** tab. The tasks are the same in all three views
— only the shape changes.

## Board

The default. Four columns, left to right:

**To Do → In Progress → In Review → Done**

Drag a card between columns to change its status. Each column header shows a
count, and the **+** beside it adds a task straight into that status.

Use the board when you are running the week and want to see where work is
stuck.

## Timeline

The same tasks laid out against dates, using their start and due dates.

Use it when you are sequencing work — checking that the joinery survey
happens before the joinery order, or that nothing lands during the client's
holiday.

<Tip>
  Tasks with no dates don't appear on the timeline. If the view looks emptier
  than expected, that is usually why.
</Tip>

## List

A dense table: title, assignee, status, priority, dates. Best for reviewing
a lot of tasks quickly, or for a status meeting where you read down the
list.

## Filter and sort

Two controls sit beside the view switcher.

* **Filter** narrows what you see — by assignee, status, priority or date.
* **Sort** reorders within the current view.

Filters apply to whichever view you are in, so you can filter to one
designer and then switch between board and timeline without losing it.

## Create a task

**New task**, top right. A title is all you need. Everything else —
description, priority, start and due date, assignees, to-dos — can be added
later from the task itself.

Tasks don't have to belong to a project. Anything you create from **Home**
without attaching a project is a standalone task, visible only in **My
tasks**.
