Board, grid, list and timeline views of the same work

Planning, the daily check-in and the release review each need a different picture of the project. Create a view for each one. Every view shows the same issues, so a change in one shows up in all of them.

What are views in Eigenfocus?

Views in Eigenfocus are different layouts of the same issues.

  • A project can have several boards, grids, lists and timelines.
  • Each view groups issues by status, assignee, label or a custom field and can keep its own filters.
  • Moving an issue in any view updates the issue, so every view stays in sync.

Questions one board can't answer

"Who has too much on their plate?"

A board by status doesn't answer that. A grid with assignees as rows does. You build it in a few clicks.

"What ships in this release?"

Filter a view by the release label and keep it. The next time you open it, it is already filtered.

"Are we on schedule?"

A timeline shows start and due dates against the calendar, so gaps and overlaps are easy to spot.

How it works

Board

Boards for the daily flow of work

Drag cards across columns to move work forward. Columns can be statuses, assignees, labels or the values of a custom field, so you can run a release, a client pipeline or an ideas list on a board.

  • Several boards per project, each with its own grouping
  • Filter by issue type and label
  • Updates in real time while the team works

Grid

Grids with swimlanes: two questions at once

Pick what the columns mean and what the rows mean. Status by assignee shows who is working on what. Phase by client shows where each deliverable stands. Drag a card to another cell and both fields change.

  • Works like a board with swimlanes: columns on top, rows down the side
  • Columns and rows can be status, assignee, label or a custom field
List

A compact list when the board gets too wide

A compact list grouped by status, assignee, label or custom field. Drag issues between groups to update them in one move. Useful when the board gets too wide to scan.

  • Grouped and collapsible
  • Drag and drop between groups
Timeline

Timelines for dates and deadlines

Each issue becomes a bar from its start date to its due date. Group rows by assignee, status, label or custom field to see who has what and when. Type in the row filter to hide the rows you don't need. For example, type "release:" to keep only your release labels.

  • Rows come from your statuses, people, labels or fields
  • Row filter to show only the groups you're planning

More about views

Saved filters

Save filters with the view so it always opens the way you left it.

Number, single select and multi select fields can become columns or rows.

Issues in more than one group

An issue with two labels shows in both label columns.

All issues table

Sort, filter and edit every issue in a project when you need a table.

Frequently asked questions

Does each view hold its own copy of the issues?
No. Every view shows the same issues. Moving a card in a board changes the issue. Every other view shows the change.
Can I group a board by something other than status?
Yes. Boards, grids, lists and timelines can group by status, assignee, label or a custom field.
Does Eigenfocus have a Gantt chart?
The timeline view shows each issue as a bar from its start date to its due date, grouped into rows by assignee, status, label or custom field.
How many views can a project have?
As many as you need. For example, one for planning and one for the daily check-in.
What happens when an issue has several labels?
It appears in each matching column or row, so a label view shows everything that carries that label.
