Two Column View

Two column view is a view that displays tasks in two columns.

Usage

When creating or editing a custom view, if you select "Two Column View" as the View Type, the following settings become available:

• Group by Task Property: Select which task property (e.g., Tags, Project, Priority, Status, Due Date, File Path) to use for grouping items in the left column. The title of the left column will often default based on this selection (e.g., selecting "Tags" might default the left column title to "Tags").
  • Default: Tags
• Left Column Title: The title displayed at the top of the left column, which lists the groups (based on the selected property).
  • Default: Items (or based on the "Group by Task Property" selection)
• Right Column Title: The default title displayed at the top of the right column when a single group is selected from the left column.
  • Default: Tasks
• Multi-select Text: The text displayed in the right column's title bar when multiple groups are selected in the left column.
  • Default: selected items
• Empty State Text: The text displayed in the right column when no group is selected in the left column.
  • Default: No items selected

Task List

The task list is the list of tasks that will be displayed in the right column. The task list is influenced by the basic filter settings.

Group List

The group list is the list of groups that will be displayed in the left column. The group list is influenced by the "Group by Task Property" setting.

Multi-select

In the top-right corner of the group list, you can see a multi-select button . You can use it to select multiple groups.

After you press the multi-select button, you can use the left mouse button to select a group and then press the Ctrl/Cmd key to select another group.
