Create Map views in ClickUp

Map views in ClickUp let you visualize tasks, locations, and routes on an interactive map so your team can plan and manage work geographically with ease.

This how-to guide walks you through creating, customizing, and sharing Map views, plus using filters, grouping, and route options to get more value from your workspace.

What a ClickUp Map view can do

A Map view displays tasks and locations as pins or clusters on a geographic map. It helps teams that work in the field, manage territories, or coordinate travel.

With a Map view you can:

• See where tasks are located at a glance.
• Plan routes between destinations.
• Filter tasks by status, assignee, or other fields.
• Open tasks directly from the map for quick updates.

Map views are saved right where you work, alongside List, Board, and other views in ClickUp.

Requirements for using Map views in ClickUp

Before creating a Map view, make sure your setup supports it.

• You must have permission to create views in the List, Folder, Space, or Everything level you are working in.
• You need at least one location-type field on tasks you want to display, such as an address, city, or coordinates.
• Your browser permissions must allow map tiles to load from the integrated map provider.

If you are an admin or owner, you can standardize which location fields are used across your ClickUp Workspace to keep Map views consistent.

How to create a Map view in ClickUp

You can create a Map view at any hierarchy level where views are available. Follow these steps to add a new one.

Step 1: Open the location for your ClickUp view

1. In the sidebar, select the Space, Folder, or List where you want to add a Map view.
2. Optionally, go to the Everything level if you want to see tasks from across your entire ClickUp Workspace.

Step 2: Add a new ClickUp Map view

1. At the top of the page, in the views bar, click the + View button.
2. From the view picker, choose Map.
3. Enter a name for your new Map view.
4. Choose whether to make the view Private or Public within that location.
5. Click Create to add the view.

The new Map view appears in the views bar and loads a map canvas for your tasks.

Step 3: Select location fields for your ClickUp Map view

A Map view relies on one or more fields with location data. You can configure which fields it uses.

1. In the Map view toolbar, open the settings or options menu.
2. Locate the Location field or similar setting.
3. Select the address or location-type field you want to use for pins.
4. If available, add additional fields that store locations, such as separate address lines or coordinates.

Only tasks that contain valid data in the selected location field will appear on the map.

Customize your ClickUp Map view

Once your Map view is created, customize it to fit your workflow and make your data easier to understand.

Filter tasks on your ClickUp Map

Filters help you focus on the most important tasks in a busy area.

1. Click the Filter button in the Map view toolbar.
2. Choose criteria such as Status, Assignee, Priority, or Custom Fields.
3. Apply multiple filters to narrow down the visible tasks.
4. Save the filter set to use it again later in the same ClickUp Map view.

Saved filters ensure different team members can quickly switch between perspectives, like today’s visits or open issues in a city.

Group tasks in your ClickUp Map view

Grouping allows you to organize visible tasks into logical segments.

1. Open the Group menu in the Map view toolbar.
2. Select a field to group by, such as Status, Assignee, or Tag.
3. Review how color or labels change on the pins or in the side panel to reflect the new grouping.

Grouping is useful for quickly understanding who owns which location or how many tasks are in a specific stage for each geographic area.

Adjust map display options in ClickUp

To make your Map view more readable, fine-tune its display settings.

• Zoom in or out to change the level of detail.
• Pan the map to focus on a specific region.
• If supported, switch between standard map and satellite backgrounds.
• Use clustering options, where available, to combine overlapping pins into single markers.

These controls help you avoid clutter and present a clear picture to stakeholders.

How to open and manage tasks from a ClickUp Map view

Map views are fully interactive, letting you work on tasks without leaving the map.

1. Click a pin to open a task preview panel.
2. Review key details, such as title, status, assignee, and due date.
3. Use quick actions to change status, reassign, or update important fields.
4. Open the full task view in ClickUp if you need to add comments, attachments, or subtasks.

This workflow helps field teams update information on the fly while navigating between locations.

Share a ClickUp Map view with your team

Sharing Map views ensures that everyone works from the same geographic information.

Control visibility of your ClickUp Map view

1. While in the Map view, open the view settings menu.
2. Toggle between Private and Public visibility.
3. For private views, specify which individual users or teams can access it.

Public Map views are available to all members with access to that Space, Folder, or List, making it easier to keep field operations aligned.

Share links to your ClickUp Map

You can quickly guide teammates to the right map.

1. Copy the page URL from your browser while the Map view is open.
2. Paste the link into tasks, docs, or chat messages.
3. Optionally, create bookmarks or pinned views so your team can return to the Map instantly.

Shared links respect existing permissions inside ClickUp, so only authorized people can see the related tasks.

Tips for getting more from ClickUp Map views

To maximize the value of Map views, build them into your daily workflows.

• Standardize address fields on task templates so Map views stay accurate.
• Create dedicated Map views per region, city, or territory.
• Combine filters and grouping to prioritize work, such as high-priority visits in a specific district.
• Use Map views in recurring meetings to review on-site work and plan future visits.
