Introduction

Column Views allow you to add different fields and configure their display and aggregation settings which determine how data is presented in the Gantt type module's task list.

...

Box Admins can additionally save changes made to the active view.

Info

We recommend using the 'Built-in" type of fields which display field values from all synchronized fields in Jira and connected tools. For example, the "Start date" built-in field shows the date values from all fields mapped as the start date in the Fields configuration and from connected tools, such as Trello.

To add a column, click the 'cog' icon on the far right of the task list header. Use the search box to find the fields you want to add:
