Lists

A List is the container for tasks. Every list has its own:

  • Name, color, icon
  • Statuses — the lifecycle stages tasks move through, defined at the space level and shared by every list in that space
  • Custom field assignments — which fields appear on tasks in this list
  • Views — Table and Board (Kanban)

A task list in list view — statuses, priority, assignees, and view tabs across the top

Creating a list

In the sidebar, hover over a space (or folder) and click +, choose New List. Give it a name, color, icon. Tasks land in your new list immediately.

Statuses

Statuses are defined at the space level and shared by every list in that space — a list doesn't have its own status set, it uses the space's statuses. Default statuses for a new space: Open, In Progress, Complete, Completed, Cancelled.

Edit statuses from the space: in the sidebar, open the space's menu → Manage Statuses. You can:

  • Rename, reorder, recolor
  • Assign a status to one of four categories — Not Started, Active, Done, or Closed (the hidden/closed bucket is distinct from Done)
  • Add or remove statuses

Assigning custom fields

Open Settings → Fields to assign custom fields to this list. Field assignments are scoped — you can have a Severity dropdown on the Bugs list but not on the Features list, both from the same workspace-level field definition.

Views

A task list has exactly two view types — switch between them via the tabs at the top:

  • Table — spreadsheet-style rows and columns with inline editing (the default All Tasks view)
  • BoardKanban-style, one column per status

Calendar is a dashboard widget, and Gantt is a project-level view — neither is a list view. See Views Overview for the full picker.

Privacy

Lists can be private (members + groups). See Spaces & Folders → Privacy.
