Use ClickUp Board View on Mobile
ClickUp Board view on mobile helps you manage tasks in columns so you can quickly track progress wherever you are. This guide walks you through opening Board view, customizing your layout, and updating tasks from your phone or tablet.
Access ClickUp Board View on Mobile
You can open Board view from the Home screen or from any location where Board view is available.
Open Board View from Home in ClickUp
- Open the mobile app and sign in to your workspace.
- From the bottom navigation, tap the Home icon.
- On the Home screen, locate the Board section.
- Swipe horizontally through your boards and tap any item to open that Board view.
This gives you quick access to your most relevant boards without browsing through every Space or Folder.
Open Board View from a Location in ClickUp
- From the bottom navigation bar, tap the Spaces icon.
- Browse to the Space, Folder, or List that contains the Board view you want.
- At the top of the screen, tap the current view name to open the list of views.
- Select Board from the available view types.
If Board view is not visible, your current location may not have a Board view set up yet, or access could be restricted by your workspace permissions.
Understand the ClickUp Board Layout
The mobile Board view arranges tasks into columns based on the grouping option you select. Each column shows individual task cards with key details.
Key Parts of the ClickUp Mobile Board
- Columns: Represent groups such as statuses or assignees.
- Task cards: Show task name, status, assignees, and other quick details.
- Toolbar: Provides options to filter, sort, and change grouping.
- New task controls: Allow you to add tasks directly into a specific column.
Use vertical scrolling to move through tasks in a column and horizontal scrolling to move between columns.
Group Tasks in ClickUp Board View
Grouping controls how tasks are organized into columns. Changing the grouping lets you see work from different perspectives.
Change Grouping in ClickUp Mobile
- Open your Board view.
- Tap the Group option in the toolbar.
- Choose a grouping type, such as Status, Assignee, or Priority.
- Wait a moment while the Board updates to reflect the new grouping.
Some grouping options may vary based on your workspace configuration and available fields.
Move Tasks Between Columns in ClickUp
Dragging tasks between columns is an efficient way to update your work.
- Press and hold a task card until it lifts from the column.
- Drag the task horizontally to the target column.
- Release the task to drop it into the new column.
When your Board is grouped by status, moving a task to another column will automatically change its status.
Filter and Sort Tasks in ClickUp Board View
Filtering and sorting help you focus on the most important tasks while using Board view on mobile.
Filter Tasks in ClickUp Mobile Board
- Open the Board view you want to refine.
- Tap the Filter icon in the toolbar.
- Select filter options such as Assignee, Status, Priority, or custom fields where available.
- Apply the filter to limit the tasks shown on your Board.
You can clear filters anytime from the same menu to see all tasks again.
Sort Tasks in ClickUp Board Columns
- In an open Board view, tap the Sort control.
- Choose a sort option such as Due date, Priority, or Date created.
- Confirm your choice to reorder tasks within each column.
Sorting applies inside columns, so your grouping remains intact while tasks are ordered more logically.

You can create new tasks and edit existing ones directly from the Board on your mobile device.

Hiding columns is helpful when you want to focus only on certain workflow stages or groups while on mobile.
