ClickUp Views feature availability and limits
Understanding how Views work in ClickUp helps you plan your workspace structure, avoid surprises with limits, and organize your work in the most efficient way for your team.
This guide explains which workspaces can use Views, what each type of View does, and the key limits you need to know when you set up your tasks and projects.
What are Views in ClickUp?
Views display your tasks in different layouts so you can focus on the information that matters most. The same set of tasks can be seen in multiple ways, such as lists, boards, tables, or timelines.
You can add Views at several levels of your hierarchy to see work in the right context. Views live on these levels:
- Everything level
- Space level
- Folder level
- List level
Each level lets you customize how tasks appear without changing the underlying data. That means the tasks stay the same, but the View layout, filters, and sorting can be different in each place.
Where Views appear in ClickUp
In ClickUp, most Views are added directly to a specific level, and some may be accessible only to you or shared with your team. When you open a Space, Folder, or List, you will see tabs or icons representing the Views available there.
From these areas, you can:
- Add new Views
- Rename existing Views
- Reorder Views
- Adjust filters, grouping, and sorting
Changes to View settings affect only that specific View, not your entire workspace.
ClickUp plans and Views availability
Every plan level in ClickUp includes access to Views, but there are differences between plans. These differences can include how many Views are available, whether they can be made private, and which advanced features they support.
Workspace owners and admins should review plan details to understand:
- Which types of Views are included
- Limits on the number of Views
- Any restrictions on sharing or permissions
If your team is growing or using complex workflows, consider whether an upgraded plan is needed to support all the Views you rely on.
Types of Views available in ClickUp
ClickUp supports several core View types. Each presents your tasks differently, allowing you to work in the way that suits your process.
List View in ClickUp
List View shows tasks in a structured, vertical list. This is ideal when you need to see task names, statuses, and key fields in one glance.
In List View, you can:
- Scan tasks quickly in a linear format
- Show or hide columns such as assignee or due date
- Sort tasks by any visible field
Board View in ClickUp
Board View displays tasks as cards grouped into columns, usually by status. This layout works well for agile workflows and drag-and-drop task movement.
Board View lets you:
- Drag tasks between columns as work progresses
- See work in progress by status or another field
- Highlight bottlenecks in your workflow
Table View in ClickUp
Table View presents tasks in a spreadsheet-like grid. It is helpful for teams that manage large sets of data and custom fields.
In Table View, you can:
- Resize and reorder columns easily
- Edit many task details in-line
- Scan numeric and custom-field data at a glance
Calendar View in ClickUp
Calendar View organizes tasks by date on a monthly, weekly, or daily grid. It helps you understand upcoming work and deadlines.
With Calendar View, you can:
- See all tasks with start or due dates
- Drag tasks to reschedule quickly
- Identify overload on specific days or weeks
Gantt and Timeline style Views in ClickUp
Some plans support timeline-style Views, including Gantt charts. These Views display tasks along a time axis and show dependencies.
These Views are useful when you need to:
- Plan long-running projects
- Visualize task dependencies and overlaps
- Adjust schedules by dragging task bars on a timeline
How to add a View in ClickUp
Adding a new View is a straightforward process. Use these steps at the Space, Folder, or List level, or at the Everything level when available.
-
Open the hierarchy level where you want the View, such as a specific List.
-
Locate the Views bar or View tabs at the top of the screen.
-
Select the option to add or create a new View.
-
Choose the View type, such as List, Board, Table, or Calendar.
-
Configure filters, grouping, and sorting according to your needs.
-
Save the View. If supported by your plan, decide whether it should be private or shared.
After saving, the View will appear alongside your other Views at that hierarchy level.
View limits and behavior in ClickUp
Each workspace has limits related to Views. These limits can depend on your plan and may include:
- A cap on how many Views you can create at a given level
- Restrictions on particular advanced View types
- Differences in who can create or share certain Views
When you approach a limit, you might see messages explaining that you cannot create additional Views or that specific features are unavailable. In those cases, consider removing unused Views or upgrading your plan.
View settings such as filters and grouping apply only to the specific View you are working in. They do not delete tasks and do not change task data in other Views.
Managing and organizing ClickUp Views
Good organization of Views in ClickUp makes it easier for your team to find the layout they need.
Use these practices to keep Views manageable:
- Rename Views clearly, for example, “Sprint Board” or “Client Deliverables Calendar”.
- Reorder Views so the most used ones appear first.
- Hide or remove Views that are no longer useful.
- Use private Views for personal workspaces when available.
By keeping your Views organized, you reduce clutter and help your team focus on current priorities.
Permissions and sharing for ClickUp Views
View permissions depend on both your workspace plan and your role. Some Views can be created as private, while others may be shared across Spaces, Folders, or Lists.
In general, your options can include:
- Making Views available to all members with access to the hierarchy level
- Restricting certain Views to specific people or roles
- Allowing or preventing others from editing View settings
Be sure to review your workspace permission settings when you notice that teammates cannot see or modify a particular View.
Best practices for using ClickUp Views
To get the most from Views, align them with your processes and reporting needs.
Consider these best practices:
- Create a small set of standard Views for each team to reduce confusion.
- Use Board or Calendar Views for day-to-day execution.
- Use List, Table, or timeline-style Views for reporting and planning.
- Document which Views your team should use for specific workflows.
Teams that design their Views intentionally find it easier to onboard new members and maintain consistent reporting.
