Views let you customise how you see the plan, from full project Gantt charts, to Maps, Board Views, or focused daily Task Lists. Every View draws from the same underlying project data but can show different filters, groupings, overlays and layouts.

Views can be saved for quick access - build Personal Views as shortcuts for your own use, or Shared Views to create standardisation for meetings or collaborative sessions.

Create a New View


  • Click + View at the top of your page

  • Click <create new New>

  • Choose from Gantt, Map, List and Board

  • Enter a name for your new View

  • Click 'Create View'

How Personal Views Work
  • Every newly created View begins as a Personal View

  • Personal views are only visible in the Views List to the view's author and Project Admins. Other users won't see someone else's personal view in the Views List, but they can still access it if they have the direct URL.

Share a View


  • Open the View to share.

  • Select 'View Options' on the right-hand side.

  • Click 'Shared with' and toggle on 'Shared View'.

  • Choose to share your View with Everyone or specific Users & Teams.

  • Select if users can Edit View or have View Only access.

Shared Views

Views can be toggled between a Personal View and a Shared View.

Shared Views are great when a group of people (or the whole project) will need to see the plan data set up in a specific, consistent way.

For instance, for you could set a up Shared Map View to show Team A's tasks on a week-by-week timescale, and share it with the members of Team A to use in their weekly meetings.

Visibility

Depending on the Sharing Controls for each View, other users can either access it directly from the Views List or be granted permission to override the customised setup.

Project Admins will be able to change the Sharing Controls for all Views in the project.

Shared & Personal Views

Views can be shared with other users in your project or kept as personal views.

You can also specify the exact users who have permission to override the configuration of your Saved View.

Author, Editor & Viewer Permissions

View Authors: The user who initially created the View will become the View Author.

View Authors can:

  • Open the View from the View List

  • Toggle their view between Personal & Shared

  • Specify certain Users & Teams as 'View Editors'

  • Rename the View

  • Delete the View

  • Convert the View

  • Duplicate the View

  • Save as New View

  • Override the Saved View Definition

[Project Admins have the same permissions as View Authors]

Editors: A User or Team who have been named as an Editor on a specific Shared View.

Editors can:

  • Open the View from the View List

  • Duplicate the View

  • Save as New View

  • Override the Saved View Definition

Viewers: All Users & Teams who are not the Author or Editor for a specific View.

Viewers can:

  • If Shared, they can open the View from the View List

  • If Personal, they can open the View from direct URL

  • Save as New View

  • Duplicate the View

When a new user enters a project for the first time, the two Aphex Curated Views that will open by default are:

  • My Upcoming Plan

  • All Upcoming Plans
