Checklist Views
A checklist follows a "tree" structure with tasks, subtasks, and sub-subtasks. One of the core features of Checklist is the ability to view checklists using different "Views" tailored to your specific use case.
Switching between views is easy using the View Selector. Keep in mind that some views may not display the full checklist data; for example, the Checklist View (the simplest one) does not show additional column fields like the Table View.
Each task (and the checklist itself) includes:
- Status (open/completed - unchecked/checked)
- Name
- Notes
- Additional and optional fields
- Meta description of the fields
Below is a list of currently available Views. We are actively working on additional views, so please let us know ↗ if you have any other preferences.
Switching Views
At the top of the Checklist Page is the View Selector:
Clicking on it will open the following menu:
Note: The View Selector is for Checklist Owners only and is not available to other users. Non-owners will only see the default view.
Switching to a Specific View
To switch to a specific view, simply choose it from the menu.
Managing Available Views
As a checklist owner, you can decide which views are available to other (non-owner) members. To do this:
- Check the box next to a view to make available.
Setting the Default View
You can also set the default view that will be opened when the checklist is accessed. To set a default view:
- Ensure the view is available by ticking its checkbox.
- Select the "radio" box next to the view you want as the default.
Note: You can only select a default view after making it available by ticking its checkbox.

Play View
The Form view is used together with a checklist, creating a set of questions to complete the checklist. It is similar to the Form View (see above), but in Play view, the user is in Focus mode (i.e., no surrounding interface), and each task is shown one at a time.
