How to Use Map View in ClickUp

Map view in ClickUp lets you visualize task locations on an interactive map so you can plan routes, assign work by area, and understand where your work is happening in the real world.

This guide walks you through enabling the view, adding locations, customizing what you see, and collaborating with your team using Map view.

What is ClickUp Map View?

Map view in ClickUp displays tasks as pins on a map based on location fields in your tasks. This helps teams that work with physical locations, such as field services, events, real estate, or deliveries.

With Map view, you can:

• See tasks plotted on a map instead of a list or board.
• Filter and group tasks by location-based fields.
• Click pins to open task details quickly.
• Use address or coordinate data saved on tasks.

Enable Map View in ClickUp

You can add Map view to the level where you manage your work: Space, Folder, or List.

Add a ClickUp Map View

1. Open the Space, Folder, or List where you want to use the map.
2. Click the + View button in the views bar.
3. Select Map from the list of view types.
4. Name the view if prompted.
5. Choose whether you want it to be a private or public view for your team.
6. Click Add view to create and open the map.

Once added, the map appears alongside your other views like List, Board, and Calendar.

Prepare Tasks for Map View in ClickUp

For tasks to appear correctly on Map view in ClickUp, they need a location value that the map can recognize.

Use Location or Address Fields in ClickUp

Map view uses location-based fields on your tasks, such as:

• Address-type custom fields.
• Text fields that contain full addresses.
• Latitude and longitude coordinates, if supported in your setup.

To prepare tasks for the map:

1. Open a task you want on the map.
2. Add or edit the custom field that stores location data.
3. Enter a complete, valid address or coordinates.
4. Save the task so it can be plotted as a pin on the map.

Repeat this for each task you want to see in the ClickUp map interface.

Navigate the Map View in ClickUp

Once your tasks have location information, Map view displays them as interactive pins.

Basic Map Controls in ClickUp

Use standard map controls to explore your task locations:

• Zoom in and out using plus and minus buttons or scroll.
• Drag the map to move to other areas.
• Click a pin to see the task name and open the task details.
• Use clusters when many tasks are close together to see counts by area.

These tools make it easier to understand where tasks are concentrated and identify regions with more or fewer assignments.

Customize ClickUp Map View Settings

You can tailor Map view to only show the work that matters, using filters, groups, and other display options.

Filter Tasks on the Map in ClickUp

Filters help you limit which tasks appear on your ClickUp map.

1. Open your Map view.
2. Click the Filter control in the toolbar.
3. Choose fields to filter by, such as status, assignee, priority, or tags.
4. Apply conditions like is, is not, or date ranges.
5. Save filters if you want to reuse them later.

Filtering keeps your map focused on the most relevant tasks, such as only active work or tasks assigned to a specific teammate.

Group Tasks in ClickUp Map View

Grouping lets you color-code or separate pins based on task properties.

1. Open your Map view toolbar.
2. Click the Group option.
3. Select a field to group by, such as status or assignee.
4. Review how pins are visually differentiated based on your selection.

This makes it easy to see, for example, which tasks are completed versus in progress in a particular geographic area.

Save and Share ClickUp Map View Layouts

After configuring filters and grouping options, you can keep the layout for future use.

• Save your map as a default view for a Space, Folder, or List.
• Set it as a personal view if you want private map settings.
• Share the view with your team so everyone sees the same geographic layout of tasks.

Work With Tasks from ClickUp Map View

Map view is not just for visualization. You can also manage tasks directly from the map.

Open and Edit Tasks from ClickUp Map Pins

1. Click a pin on the map.
2. View the task name, location, and key details in the preview.
3. Select the task title to open the full task window.
4. Update fields, change status, or reassign the task as needed.

Any changes you make are reflected across all other views, keeping status and details consistent.

Use ClickUp Map View for Planning

Common ways teams use the map include:

• Planning field visits or service calls by region.
• Balancing workloads across different geographic zones.
• Reviewing coverage gaps where no tasks exist.
• Coordinating events or on-site work at multiple locations.

Tips for Effective Use of ClickUp Map View

To get the most out of the map, follow these practical tips.

• Standardize addresses: Use consistent address formats so pins land in the correct place.
• Use templates: Create task templates with built-in location fields.
• Combine views: Switch between Map, List, and Board views to see the same work from multiple angles.
• Clean old locations: Archive or close tasks that are no longer relevant to keep your map clear.
