# Create a view

> Create and save a custom view to focus on the tasks that matter most.

Saved views eliminate the repetitive work of filtering and sorting the same way every time you need to focus. Create a view once, then come back to it whenever you need that focused perspective.

## Create a new view

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the Views section">
    Click **Views** in the sidebar.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add a new view">
    Click **Add view**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose a view type">
    Select **Table**, **Board**, **Calendar**, or **Timeline** depending on how you want to see the work.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Set filters">
    Choose filters (list, assignee, labels, status).

    <Info>
      Filters use **OR** within the same category and **AND** across different
      categories.

      For example, selecting two assignees shows tasks assigned to
      either person. Adding a status filter on top of that further narrows the
      results to only those assignees **and** that status.
    </Info>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Name and save the view">
    Give it a descriptive name so you can find it again quickly.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## When to create a view

* Track work for a specific team or project
* Build a sprint board grouped by status
* Create a personal task list filtered to your name
* Plan upcoming work with a due-date calendar or timeline

<Note>
  Views are personal. Only you can see the views you create; they are not
  visible to other workspace members. Reorder them by dragging so your
  most-used views appear at the front.
