    Filter - Select specific options across a variety of task data and elements
  3. 3.
    Sort - Adjust the order of tasks to match your needs within board columns or the list
  4. 4.
    Fields - You can hide/display task fields to reduce noise or increase task data visibility
  5. 5.
    Include Subtasks [List layout] - This will include subtasks as part of the list view
This Board view doesn't show the Backlog column as its been filtered out
Once you've made a change you can view the board with the update and decide if you want to Discard changes or Save for everyone so others can use it too.
You can easily add the Backlog column by selecting it within the Status filter
The preset Open Tasks view that's provided helps your contributors easily surface available tasks that can be worked on.
Using a list view and filtering only to relevant tasks helps increase productivity
Here's how the Open Tasks view has been customised to filter only the available tasks for you
Filter by Status, Assignees, along with Sorting by ascending Priority

Adding a New View

Apart from editing existing views, you can also add multiple new views by clicking on Add View next to Community Suggestions which will open a pop-up that you can customise as needed.
Clicking Add view will let you create a new customised view for your contributors
Note: Once a view has been created, you can click and drag on it to reorder the view so that it's in the preferred sequence
Here's an example new view for pending task tracking with the following options:
  • Filter for Status to only In Review and Done
  • Sorting set to Bounty and Ascending
  • Fields to be displayed set to Name, Assignees, Reward and CTA
  • Subtasks are also included
