Team overview in ClickUp
The Teams Hub in ClickUp gives managers and admins a clear team overview so they can quickly understand who is available, what people are working on, and where work may be blocked. This how-to guide walks through using the team overview to track capacity, spot issues, and keep projects moving smoothly.
Access the ClickUp Teams Hub
Before you use the team overview, you need to know where to find the Teams Hub inside ClickUp.
- Open your Workspace in the ClickUp web app.
- In the left sidebar, look for the Teams or Teams Hub option, depending on your layout.
- Select the hub to open the main Teams Hub dashboard.
From here, you can switch between different Teams Hub views, including the team overview covered in this article.
Open the ClickUp team overview
The team overview in ClickUp is a specific view inside the Teams Hub that focuses on member capacity and workload.
- Inside the Teams Hub, locate the navigation tabs at the top of the screen.
- Click the Overview tab to open the team overview page.
The overview loads a list of your team members with details about current and upcoming work, time off, and availability.
Understand the ClickUp team overview layout
The team overview layout in ClickUp is designed to give you a quick sense of who is overbooked, underutilized, or potentially blocked.
Key sections of the overview
- Team member list: A column showing each person in the selected team or group.
- Availability and capacity: Indicators or numeric values that summarize how much work each person has assigned.
- Workload timeline: A time-based view of tasks and projects assigned to each user.
- Time off and holidays: Markers that highlight days when a member is unavailable.
Together, these sections help you evaluate whether work is distributed in a healthy and sustainable way.
Filter and focus your ClickUp team overview
The more people and projects you manage, the more important it is to filter the team overview in ClickUp to see only what matters right now.
Use filters to narrow your view
- At the top of the overview, open the Filters menu.
- Filter by one or more of the following, depending on what the Teams Hub supports in your Workspace:
- Team or department
- Specific members
- Location or office
- Date range
- Task status or priority
- Apply the filters to refresh the overview with a focused list of members and work.
Filters make the ClickUp overview more actionable, especially for large organizations or cross-functional teams.
Adjust the timeframe
- Look for a date selector or timeline control above the workload area.
- Choose a time window, such as the current week, next two weeks, or a custom date range.
- Review the timeline to see how work changes over the selected period.
Adjusting the timeframe helps you spot upcoming crunch periods before they become a problem.
Check member capacity in ClickUp
One of the core benefits of the team overview in ClickUp is understanding capacity at a glance.
Review workload indicators
- Capacity bar or percentage: Shows how much of each member’s available time has been allocated to tasks.
- Color indicators: Colors may represent under capacity, at capacity, or over capacity.
- Task count: The total number of tasks or points a member has assigned during the selected period.
Use these signals to decide when to reassign work or shift priorities.
Identify overbooked members
- Scan for members whose indicators show over capacity or a very high load.
- Click on a member row to see more detail about their assigned tasks.
- Look for long task durations, overlapping deadlines, or many high-priority items.
If someone appears overbooked, you can coordinate with project owners to rebalance work.
Spot underutilized team members in ClickUp
The same overview that highlights overload can also reveal underutilized capacity in ClickUp.
- Find members whose capacity indicators are low or clearly under their available time.
- Open their details to confirm that the low capacity is expected and not the result of a filter or error.
- Note opportunities to assign new work, training, or backlog tasks to these team members.
This helps you improve resource use while keeping workloads fair.
Use the ClickUp overview to manage time off
Time off and holidays directly affect capacity. The Teams Hub overview in ClickUp makes this more visible.
View time off in the timeline
- Look for icons or colored blocks that represent vacation, sick leave, or holidays.
- Confirm that important tasks do not overlap with extended time away.
- Check for days when several team members in the same group are off at the same time.
Integrating time off into the overview allows you to plan realistic deadlines.
Adjust plans around absences
- When you see upcoming time off, review the affected member’s tasks.
- Decide whether to move due dates, reassign tasks, or add support from other team members.
- Update task owners and watchers so everyone understands the new plan.
Proactive planning in the overview helps prevent last-minute delays.
Resolve blocked work from the ClickUp overview
The overview can expose blocked or at-risk work so leaders can step in quickly.
Identify blockers
- Look for tasks marked as blocked or waiting on another team.
- Check members whose timelines show many tasks stuck in the same status.
- Review approaching due dates for tasks that have not progressed.
These patterns indicate where escalation or additional support may be needed.
Take action on blocked items
- Open blocked tasks directly from the overview, if supported in your version of ClickUp.
- Read comments and check dependencies to understand why the task is blocked.
- Tag stakeholders, clarify requirements, or adjust dependencies as needed.
- Monitor the member’s capacity again after the issue is resolved.
Systematically resolving blocked work keeps projects on track and supports your team.
Combine the ClickUp overview with other tools
The Teams Hub team overview works best as part of a broader management process using other features in ClickUp.
- Pair the overview with dashboards to track KPIs and project health.
- Use views like List or Board to manage task details while the overview handles capacity.
- Leverage automations to update statuses or notify managers when capacity thresholds are reached.
