Views and boards
The board and list layouts, grouping and sorting, saved views you keep or share, and the My Work page.
Every project can be looked at as a board or a list. Saved views let you keep a particular slice — filters, sort, grouping, layout — and come back to it, or share it with the team.
Board
The board shows one column per status, ordered left to right by category (backlog through cancelled). Drag a card to another column to change its status; drag it up or down to reorder it within the column. Both stick — the position is saved, not just cosmetic.
If someone else moved the same card while you were dragging, your drop is rejected rather than silently overwriting them; the board refreshes and you try again with the latest state.
List
The list shows the same items as rows — denser, better for scanning and sorting. Each row carries the plan-vs-actual time meter when the item has logged time (see Time tracking).
Grouping and sorting
Both layouts can be grouped by status, assignee, priority, or project, and sorted by multiple keys (for example: priority first, then due date). Filters can combine project, assignee, label, priority, dates, and more.
Saved views
When you've built a slice you like, save it:
| Personal view | Shared view | |
|---|---|---|
| Who sees it | Only you | Project members |
| Good for | "My bugs due this week" | "Triage queue", "This sprint's review column" |
A saved view remembers its filters, sort, grouping, and layout (board or list). A view saved without a project filter spans every project you can see — that's how you build cross-project views.
Alongside your saved views, RyTask ships a few built-in smart views that are always up to date: My issues, Due soon, Overdue, and Urgent.
My Work
My Work is your personal landing page: everything assigned to you, across all projects, front and center. It's the answer to "what should I be doing?" without building any view at all.
A note on freshness
Views show the latest data each time you navigate to them. Live in-place updates — where a board refreshes itself while you watch — are Coming soon on the roadmap.
