A view is a filtered and structured way to visualize your Cycle Feedback, Insights, or Roadmap. You can create your own views by choosing which doc types to display, applying filters, and grouping docs by properties.

Only "Makers" can create and edit views. Go to the "" section to learn more.

In this section we'll see how to work in views.

Table of content

You'll find all your views in a breadcrumb. From any view, just click on "Views" to get back there.

Click on the view name to switch views quickly.

Pro tip: Right-click on Feedback, Insights, Roadmap to go directly to a certain view.

Create new views

Here's an example of a view with all "Small" Features grouped by "Status". Click the "+" icon.

You can also create a view from the side bar.

Edit a view

Click on the view name to edit this view. You can also rename a view or add a description to it by clicking the view's name.

Customize your view

There are four main ways to organize your content inside a view. You can use filters, group bys, and subgroups (swimlanes). You can also decide which properties you want to display.

You can display the insights linked to each Doc type. Click on the 💡 icon to see the related insights! To display insights, open the settings of a view, under “properties,” toggle “💡 Insights”.

You can also rearrange your views. Just drag & drop them.

Duplicate a view

Some views can be pretty similar to one another. No need to re-create them from scratch.

Kanban, list & swimlane

When a "Maker" creates a view, they can choose between a kanban or list view.

  • Kanban: Display docs in horizontal columns. Usually, each column holds docs from the same property value.

  • List: Display docs in a vertical list.

  • Swimlane: Combine a kanban and list view. This works great for roadmaps: See docs grouped in columns by a time horizon, while also splitting the view vertically by a key product area for example.

When a list view is grouped by a property, you can expand and collapse groups by clicking the arrow in the top left corner of the group. This is a great way to declutter a view.

Editing properties in bulk

Drag and drop multiple docs from one place to another. The corresponding property will automatically update for every selected doc.

You can also achieve this by holding the "shift" key and clicking on the docs you wish, then use the editing menu at the bottom of your screen to edit the docs' property values.

Export & star views

Just click on “Export in CSV” and get the file by email.

Similarly, click on "Star" to keep at hand your favorite views.

    • NB: Feedback & Insights’ assignees should be the ones giving the feedback, but for epics/stories we put engineers as assignees.

Only "Makers" can create views. If you are the first to join yourn workspace, you're a "Maker" by default. If not, ask a Maker to .

The feedback is a list view, grouped by status.

Feel free to adapt them to your needs. They are in line and compatible with the and the .
