Also, you can perform changes using the interface.

Creating a project view

Project views allow you to view specific aspects of your project. Each view is displayed on a separate tab in your project.

For example, you can have:

  • A view that shows all items not yet started (filter on Status).
  • A view that shows the workload for each team (group by a custom Team field).
  • A view that shows the items with the earliest target ship date (sort by a date field).

To add a new view:

  1. To open the project command palette, press Command + K (Mac) or Ctrl + K (Windows/Linux).
  2. Start typing New view (to create a new view) or Duplicate view (to duplicate the current view).
  3. Choose the required command.
  4. The new view is automatically saved.
