Create and share a Table view

Work on tasks with a familiar spreadsheet style view.

Every task is a row with a fixed height, and the fields are columns so you can quickly review and edit your tasks.

Table view lets you choose the information to display. For example, you can show or hide Tags which are always shown in List view.

Update multiple tasks at once using:

  • Arrow keys to quickly move between cells.
  • Copy and paste keyboard shortcuts.
  • Click and drag the lower right corner of a cell to copy values down to other tasks.
  • The Bulk Action Toolbar.
