# Views and boards (/docs/guides/users/views-and-boards)



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 [#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 [#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](/docs/guides/users/time-tracking)).

## Grouping and sorting [#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 [#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]

**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 [#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
