# Reference: Views

## Introduction

Views in Motion give you flexible ways to visualize and manage tasks and projects. Whether you need a simple list, a visual board, or a timeline overview, each view helps you understand and organize work differently. This reference explains the key features of List, Kanban, and Gantt views, along with the customization options that make them powerful.

#### At a Glance

* **List View** → A structured, table-like view ideal for daily task management and quick triage.
* **Custom Columns** → Add, hide, or reorder columns in List View to surface the attributes that matter most.
* **Group by Criteria** → Organize tasks by status, assignee, priority, or other fields for clearer organization.
* **Kanban View** → Visualize tasks as cards in columns, making it easy to track work in progress and move tasks between stages.
* **Gantt Charts** → Timeline view showing tasks, dependencies, and project progress across time. Useful for planning and tracking long-term initiatives.
* **Switching Between Views** → Seamlessly toggle between List, Kanban, and Gantt without losing your data. Filters and grouping persist across views.
* **Filters and Sorting** → Consistent filtering (by project, assignee, status, etc.) and sorting options available in all views to focus on the right work.
