Issue layouts
Five ways to see the same issues — List, Board, Calendar, Timeline, and Spreadsheet.
Every layout shows the same filtered issues. Switch layouts from the header without losing your filters, sort, or saved view. The layout switcher sits next to the Issues / Views tabs and preserves project context (?project=) when you change views.
List
Route: /task-management/list
The default layout. Issues render in a vertical list, optionally grouped into collapsible sections.
Best for: Scanning many items quickly, bulk status changes via drag-and-drop when grouped by status, and reading titles and metadata in one column.
Grouping: Respects your Group by setting — status, priority, type, assignee, or no grouping. Status groups support drag-and-drop to change status.
Controls available: Filter, Group, Sort, Status visibility, Search, View menu.
Board
Route: /task-management/kanban
A kanban-style board with one column per workflow status.
Best for: Visualizing flow through Backlog → Planned → In Progress → Review → Done, standups, and spotting bottlenecks.
Important: The Board always uses status columns. The Group by control still appears in the toolbar, but it does not change the column layout — columns are always status-based. Use Status visibility to hide empty or irrelevant lanes.
Controls available: Filter, Group (no effect on columns), Sort, Status visibility, Search, View menu.
Calendar
Route: /task-management/calendar
A week view showing issues on their due dates. Drag events to reschedule.
Best for: Deadline planning and seeing what's due this week.
Grouping: Group by is hidden on Calendar — issues appear as individual events, not grouped sections.
Controls available: Filter, Sort, Search, View menu. No Group or Status visibility menus.
Timeline
Route: /task-management/gantt
A Gantt-style timeline for start and due dates. Resize bars to adjust schedules, add issues inline, and toggle fullscreen (press Esc to exit).
Best for: Planning across weeks, seeing overlap, and adjusting date ranges visually.
Extra filter: A Show unscheduled toggle lets you include issues without start or due dates.
Controls available: Filter, Group, Sort, Status visibility, Search, View menu.
Spreadsheet
Route: /task-management/spreadsheet
A flat table with sortable columns — like a lightweight spreadsheet over your issues.
Best for: Editing many fields at once, comparing values side by side, and exporting mental models from tabular data.
Grouping: Sort is applied, but grouping does not affect row layout — every matching issue is a single row.
Controls available: Filter, Group, Sort, Search, View menu. No Status visibility menu.
Choosing a layout
| You want to… | Try |
|---|---|
| Triage a long backlog | List grouped by status or priority |
| Run a standup | Board with status visibility trimmed to active lanes |
| Plan the week | Calendar filtered to your assignee |
| Map a release timeline | Timeline with project filter |
| Bulk-edit or compare fields | Spreadsheet sorted by due date |
Layout and saved views
When you save a view, you can set a default layout. Applying that view navigates you to the matching route (for example, Board → /task-management/kanban) and restores filters, group-by, sort, and status visibility.
See Saved views for details.
Per-layout group-by defaults
If you haven't changed group-by yourself, each layout remembers its own default:
| Layout | Default group by |
|---|---|
| List | Status |
| Board | Status |
| Calendar | None |
| Timeline | Status |
| Spreadsheet | None |
