Unbound projects let you look at the same data in different ways. Views decide how your items and fields are presented, without changing the underlying data.
You can switch between views at any time. Updates you make in one view are reflected in all the others.
Grid view
What it is
A spreadsheet-style table that shows your items as rows and your fields as columns. It’s the fastest place to add, edit and clean up data.
Best for
Setting up a new project (adding items and filling in fields)
Bulk edits, quick fixes and data clean-up
Comparing values across many items (statuses, owners, dates, numbers)
How it works with fields, filtering and sorting
All field types appear as columns where you can edit directly
Sorting works especially well on Short text, Single-select and Number fields
Filtering lets you narrow down by field (e.g. only “In progress” items)
Timeline fields show as dates and can be sorted by start date
Use Grid view when you care most about the data itself rather than the visual layout of the timeline.
Horizontal timeline view
What it is
A left-to-right timeline that places items relative to each other over time, using a Timeline field for dates. Items can be shown as points (single dates) or spans (start and end dates).
Best for
Project plans and roadmaps
Milestones and release schedules
Historical timelines where date order matters
How it works with fields, filtering and sorting
The Timeline field controls where items appear on the timeline
Other fields (Status, Owner, Tags, Number etc.) show in cards, so you still see key context
Filtering is great for focusing on specific work (e.g. by Status, team, category or tag)
Sorting and relative position is driven by date
Use the horizontal timeline when you want to see how things spread over time and spot gaps or overlaps.
Vertical timeline view
What it is
A top-to-bottom timeline layout, useful when you want a more narrative or space-efficient view, especially on smaller screens.
Best for
High-level overviews for sharing with others
Narratives and story-style timelines
Reviewing a sequence of key events without needing a wide screen
How it works with fields, filtering and sorting
Also driven by a Timeline field for ordering items
Shows fields in a stacked card layout
Filtering works the same as in other views, helping you focus on specific types of items
Sorting is again by date
Use the vertical timeline when you’re presenting a sequence of items or scrolling through a project on smaller screens.
