Creating a project view

Project views allow you to quickly view specific aspects of your project. Each view is displayed on a separate tab in your project.

For example, you can have:

• A view that shows all items not yet started (filter on "Status").
• A view that shows the workload for each team (group by a custom "Team" field).
• A view that shows the items with the earliest target ship date (sort by a date field).

To add a new view:

{% data reusables.projects.new-view %}

The new view is automatically saved.

Duplicating a view

You can duplicate an existing view and use it as a base to make further changes.

1. Switch to the view you want to duplicate. {% data reusables.projects.open-view-menu %}
2. Click {% octicon "versions" aria-hidden="true" %} Duplicate view.

Saving changes to a view

When you make changes to a view - for example, sorting, reordering, filtering, or grouping the data in a view - a dot is displayed next to the view name to indicate that there are unsaved changes.

If you don't want to save the changes, you can ignore this indicator. No one else will see your changes.

{% data reusables.projects.save-view %}

Reordering saved views

To change the order of the tabs that contain your saved views, click and drag a tab to a new location. The new tab order is automatically saved.

Renaming a saved view

You can rename your saved views. The name change is automatically saved.

1. Switch to the view you want to rename. {% data reusables.projects.open-view-menu %}
2. Click {% octicon "pencil" aria-hidden="true" %} Rename view.
3. Type the new name for your view.
4. To save your changes, press Return.

Deleting a saved view

1. Switch to the view you want to delete. {% data reusables.projects.open-view-menu %}
2. Click {% octicon "trash" aria-hidden="true" %} Delete view.
