List View

The List view lets you oversee and analyze items in more detail. By comparing information side by side, you can gain a complete overview. Let’s look on how you can customize the List view. 

Rows

Use rows to organize different teams, work item types, projects, and more. Add as many as needed and easily collapse or expand them based on your preferences. 

Fields

Choose which information fields appear next to your items by opening the “Customize fields” menu in the top right corner of the fields. You can select default or add custom fields to adjust the view to your needs. 

Freezing Columns and Wrapping Text

List views get wide quickly. Two settings keep them readable:

• Freeze the first column. When enabled, the first column stays fixed while you scroll horizontally, so you never lose track of which item a row belongs to.
• Wrap text in custom text fields. Found under Customize → View, this shows the full contents of long text fields instead of truncating them, so you can read a value without opening the item.

WBS Numbering

Items can be numbered automatically using WBS (work breakdown structure) numbering, in both List and Gantt views. Each item gets a hierarchical number reflecting its position (1, 1.1, 1.2, 2 …), which makes a large plan much easier to navigate and to reference in documents or meetings.

Working with Dependencies

Clicking the dependencies field in List view opens the Dependencies Manager, where you can review and edit all of an item’s relations in one place rather than opening the full item details.

You can also filter the list by dependency state — for example, to find only work whose prerequisites are all complete and can therefore be started. See item relations for the available conditions.

Saving the Settings (Views)

When you customize the List view by selecting which fields to display and applying filters to your items, these settings will reset to the default when you leave the view. 

To keep your changes, you can save the view as either a default or a new view. This allows you to create multiple List views.
