Hey, everyone!
If we haven't interacted just yet, my name is Michael and I am the Product Manager for our Views team at ClickUp.
We're working on an all new Board view and we'd love to hear your thoughts! In the pinned comment below I've attached screenshots of our latest designs for your viewing.
Feel free to leave any comments here. Thank you!

Hey, everyone!
Thank you for providing your feedback following the recent release. We acknowledge the significance of this update and value your honest opinions about its functionality, design, and overall user experience.
We are diligently refining the Board view in response to your suggestions. Below are several Canny discussion threads addressing the concerns raised:
- Reintroduce one-click to close: The team is actively ideating on the best way to reintroduce this functionality. We've shared a design mockup to this thread and would love to hear your thoughts.
- Swimlanes fixed height, make it dynamic: Last week, we consulted with our Engineering team to explore options for a dynamic swimlane height that preserves the new performance benefits. While we have no updates at present, this remains a priority.
- Show labels for Fields: We have an improvement landing in Production this week that'll improve this experience. I've shared a GIF with the Canny thread above for your viewing.
- Set defaults options for Board view
- Show status on left-side of card
For any other items, we recommend creating a Canny thread that way we can track each item individually, hold conversations, and monitor number of votes.
We are grateful for your continued engagement. The insights are critical in providing the best Board view for you!

I would love to be able to reorder the board columns as needed. Currently we are unable to do so and the filter system doesn't allow to the flow that we need.
Tim Jasper
Hi Michael. Do you have any plans to allowing saving of collasped columns ?

It's ugly, first I thought it was a bug, I've tried to refresh my browser, change the browser and nothing, I really don't like that. Good bye ClickUp

I've been back and forth between ClickUp and Asana. I run a small team of 3 staff.
1) Board view is not compact - each card takes up too much space, please make them cleaner like Asana or Trello
2) Please make the sections in board movable, changeable easily like in Asana, Monday.com or Trello. These sections are much more useful and versatile than just Statuses.
3) List view is too cluttered, the Add Task buttons are repeated everywhere, headlines (Name, Due Date etc.) are repeated everywhere

Hi, Michael, I haven't seen anyone else ask about this, but in our hiring space, I frequently would clear the due dates and assignees for candidates who were to be held for the next hiring round, so they wouldn't show up in our overdue tasks for months. I used to be able to do that by hovering over the due date and the assignee in board view, and now I have to open the task or click to open the calendar, then clear the due date, to make those changes. I'm trying to roll with the new board view, but having functionality removed is the most frustrating aspect of this change. Thanks!

Michael,
When will the custom fields be displayed again?
Do you really think it's functional to see a bunch of filled-in fields without knowing what they are?
This update imposed by you is disrespectful.
If you want to make so many changes, at least give the option to revert.
I'm from Brazil and I pay for this tool in dollars, and it's not cheap.
You are negatively impacting our business, and as a customer, I demand a better response than "We are working on an update."
What update? When will it be available?
We don't use the tool for fun; it's to run our business.
It is unprofessional to do what you are doing and the way you are doing it.
There is no point in having a tool full of features that promises to replace all others if it doesn't respect the seriousness of the processes it carries.
It is disrespectful.
We don't have time for crazy inventions.
It is unacceptable to come to work and the company that promises productivity has changed everything at its own pleasure without even considering the impact on our business.
I look at the boards and understand nothing. Great mess you made.
Please, resolve this.

Hi Rodrigo, we are also a customer and share your feelings. It's best to post your opinion about it here: https://feedback.clickup.com/feature-requests/p/show-fields-labels-in-board-view.
There would be an update coming, name visible when you hover over it with the mouse cursor, so not yet the situation as it was, name visible. I have also already written to them that if one chooses to show a specific field on the front of a card it is important enough to actually show it.
And I have also written that it is very frustrating that they just suddenly do changes like this that can impact the operation of a business. That is very unprofessional.
Have they tested this? See how crazy this looks without showing the name.... Being able to complete fields at a glance doesn't become obvious this way, which is the intention on a 'boardview', you see empty fields. A checkbox looks completely weird this way. And what if you have a lot of checkboxes!?
Hopefully soon the ability to show the name of these fields again!!

Why did you remove the red button color from the timer? It was so easy to spot in a big screen of cards - and it hurt no one.

Michael Van Doorn You forgot to add: show empty tasks on the left. Why would they be on the right? thanks!
Wim Delfs
Michael Van Doorn Created some additional threads:
Show full location path/breadcrumbs of cards
Show all tags on cards
General view - show tags and task-id back smaller - everything displayed as button?
Michael Van Doorn
Wim Delfs: Thank you! Will keep my eye on those
Andreas Otto
Michael Van DoornHey Michael, what have you done with the new 3.0 status field????????? Now it's suddenly weak and unnoticeable again!!!!! Have you lost all your courage in the shitstorm?????? Please see https://www.facebook.com/groups/ClickUppers/permalink/2659313040910788/?comment_id=2659566310885461¬if_id=1718983857025276¬if_t=feedback_reaction_generic&ref=notif

Michael Van Doorn Have you an update on "Set task descriptions as cover images on cards"?
Thanks
EDIT
I've found it 🙄Wim Delfs
Our main concerns:
Location of cards?
Not all cards are in just one master list. That's just the power of ClickUp. So why has the location of cards suddenly shrunk to just the list? We ask with many to display the full path/ breadcrumbs in places where this is not possible. And here you guys are going to limit this back?
Name variable fields?
The name of the variable field is no longer visible. Only an icon of the field is visible now. This is not logical/practical.
If you give the option to display fields on the card, it is rather bizarre to remove the name of the field. At the very least, give the choice to hide or display the name.
Show all tags?
Tags should all be visible… if you set the option to see them them in the front they are important, right?
General view
I notice that all the info from the card is now displayed in the same way, like buttons. But I don't think that makes sense for all fields. Task-id and tags, as before, could be visually smaller. And also don't make 'button-views' of these.
IMPORTANT NOTE
We assume that when you are working out renewals, you always take into account the current situation so that there are certainly no significant changes that could undermine the operation of your customers. Because in this matter I notice that that is not the case!
Hopefully there will be an update soon.
We are concerned about this sudden update.
Thanks,
Wim

Hi Click-Up Team!
I see that is possible to manage what we see in each task card in the board view. But I don't see an option to see the location of the card. From a board on the Space level, I want to be able to see different tasks and know where it is coming from (from which folder and list is coming from) - is this possible?
