Before you start

To use the List view, the List feature must be turned on in a project's settings.

We're currently rolling out a List view redesign. You might see a New List View toggle option in List view's top right to switch between versions. Toggle aside, know which version you're using by checking the task properties:

  • Legacy List view: When you hover over a task, individual task property icons appear directly on the task's right. If this is what you see, switch to our legacy List view page.

 
  • New List view: When you hover over a task, a floating action toolbar appears on the task row's far right. If this is what you see, keep reading this page.

  1. Click Jump to in Teamwork.com's main navigation menu.
  2. Search for and select a project.
  3. Select List from the project's navigation menu. The List tab might be hidden under the More... option.
