The Table view provides a detailed, table-like way to work with your tasks, allowing you to see and manage all key information in one place. It’s ideal for users who prefer a more structured overview compared to the Kanban or Calendar views.
Rows and Columns
In Table view, you can fully customize how your data is displayed by managing rows (tasks) and columns (fields).
Working with Rows (Tasks)
Adding New Tasks
Navigate to the last row (Add new item)
Start typing the task title and press Enter
You can quickly update task details directly from the table by double-clicking any cell to edit its value.
Reordering Rows (Tasks)
You can change the order of your rows/tasks . To do that:
Hover over the row number on the left
Click and drag it up or down to change its position
If you move a task from one list into a group of tasks belonging to another list, the task will automatically update to match the new list.
If you move a task from one group into another, the task will automatically update to match the destination group. For example, moving a task into a different list group changes its list, while moving it into a label group assigns that label. The same behavior applies to all grouping types.
Task Actions
When you hover over a task in the table, additional actions appear in the Name column.
Open task – opens the task in a modal using your preferred task view
More options (three-dot menu) – provides these additional actions:
Open – opens the task (same as the Open task button)
Add comment – opens the task and lets you add a comment
Duplicate row – creates a copy of the task with all its data (list, members, dates, messages, etc.) and adds it below
Insert row above – creates a new empty task above the current one in the same list
Insert row below – creates a new empty task below the current one in the same list
Change row background color – apply a color to the entire row
Choose from predefined colors
Or open the Custom Color menu to:
Pick a color manually

Copy row link – copies a direct link to the task (when opened, the task will be highlighted with a border)
Archive – moves the task to the board Archive (Board → Settings → Archive)
