Intro to ClickApps

Don't confuse your team with unneeded features. Simplify the Workspace and help your team focus. Check out our ClickApps Overview course in ClickUp University.

ClickApps are features that can be turned on or off for the whole Workspace. If your team doesn't track time on their tasks, for example, you can turn off the Time Tracking ClickApp. Check out our course on ClickApps for All Work Management Styles in ClickUp University.

What you'll need

Sort, group, and filter by ClickApps

There are several ways to categorize tasks by their ClickApps! In List view, you can add columns for ClickApps and then sort tasks by these columns.

In both List and Board view, you can group tasks by a few different ClickApps such as Assignee and Priority!
