Todo Lists

Lists organise todos within a project into named sections — a way to separate work by type, team, sprint, or any grouping that makes sense for your project.

At a glance

  • ✓Create as many lists as you need inside a project
  • ✓Todos not assigned to a list appear in the default "No List" section
  • ✓Drag and drop todos between lists when the grouped view is active
  • ✓Deleting a list moves its todos to "No List" — nothing is lost

Creating a list

  1. 1

    Open the Todos view

    Navigate to your project and click the Todos tab.

  2. 2

    Click Add List

    Click the Add List button or the + icon next to the list selector at the top.

  3. 3

    Name the list

    Enter a name and press Enter. The list appears immediately as a new section.

Assigning todos to lists

Open a todo's detail dialog and use the List field to assign it to a list. You can also drag and drop todos between list sections when the grouped view is active.

Typical list structures

By workflow stage

"Backlog", "In Sprint", "Ready for Review", "Done"

By team or owner

"Design", "Engineering", "Marketing"

By feature area

"Onboarding", "Billing", "API"

By sprint or week

"Week 1", "Week 2", "Icebox"

💡 Tip

Start with just one or two lists per project. You can always add more and rename existing ones as the project evolves. Overly granular list structures create overhead without adding clarity.

Editing and deleting lists

Click the … menu on any list header to rename or delete it. Deleting a list does not delete its todos — they move to the "No List" section. Drag the list header to reorder sections in the view.
