Customising views

Every task table in Orsane — a single list, All tasks, Assigned to me, the subtasks panel — is the same component, and they all share the same set of customisation options. Tweak any of them to your liking; your preferences are remembered per-list, per-user, so what you see on a list doesn’t change what your teammates see.

Filters narrow a list down to tasks that match one or more conditions. Open the filter popover above the table and add filters for any of the built-in attributes:

  • Status — is / is not
  • Priority — is / is not, plus at least and at most
  • Assignee — is / is not
  • Created by — is / is not
  • Due date — is / is not, plus on or before and on or after
  • Parent task — is

You can stack multiple filters; they combine with AND logic — a task must match every filter to show up.

Filter popover with multiple chips

The filter popover above a task list with two or three filter chips applied — for example “Status is In progress” and “Assignee is me” — to show the chip layout and how filters stack.

The sort menu in Display options offers eight choices:

  • Manual — drag tasks up and down to reorder them. The order is saved and restored next time you visit the list.
  • Title, Status, Priority, Created date, Due date, Created by, Parent task — automatic sorts based on the chosen attribute.

Switching between automatic and manual sorts is non-destructive: your manual order is preserved when you flip to an automatic sort, and it comes back as soon as you flip back to manual.

Grouping breaks the flat list into sections by an attribute. Group by:

  • Status, Priority, Assignee, Created by, Created date, Due date, Lists, or Parent task

When grouping is on, you also pick an order for the groups themselves (ascending or descending). To switch back to a flat list, set grouping to None.

Pick which attributes show up as columns from Display options. Hiding a column doesn’t remove the attribute from your tasks — it only stops it from rendering in the table. Custom attributes show up here alongside the built-in ones, so you can decide which workspace-specific fields are visible per list.

Display options popover open over a task list

The Display options popover open, showing the Sort, Group, Columns, and Completed tasks controls together. Ideal if a couple of toggles are visibly active so the reader can see what each control looks like.

By default, a list shows only open tasks. From Display options, choose how much completion history to surface:

  • Show all — every completed task, no matter when.
  • Past day, Past week, Past month — completed tasks limited by how recently they were finished.
  • None — hide all completed tasks.

This filter relies on the completion timestamp set when a task moves into a status flagged as completion-equivalent. See Task statuses for how that works.
