Intro to cards

Use dynamic cards to create custom views of your and your team's work and reporting.

What you'll need 

  • Access to cards varies by plan type and user role.  
  • Guests only have access to Dashboards that have been shared with them. 
  • Guests cannot create Dashboards. 
  • Guests only have access to Overviews of Spaces, Folders, or Sprint Folders that have been shared with them. 
  • Everyone has access to and can customize Home. 

Cards and canvases

Overviews, Dashboards, and Home are canvases. Add cards to these canvases to create high-level Workspace, team, or personal views. 

Some cards can be added to either a Dashboard or Overview. Home cards can only be added to Home.  

Overview cards

An Overview is a high-level Space, Folder, or Sprint Folder view you can organize using cards. For example, create bookmarks from ClickUp items or any web URL. 

Take a look at our article Intro to Overviews cards to learn which cards are available. 

Dashboard cards

Screenshot of the Add Card modal.

Dashboards use cards to create a reporting view. For example, display a chart of total tasks in a location by assignee. 

Take a look at our article Intro to Dashboard cards to learn which cards are available.

Home cards

Home is your personal hub. Use cards to organize and track your work. For example, create a personal List visible only to you to keep track of your tasks.
