Choosing a view
Runway, Timeline, Board, Table and Calendar: five useful ways to work with the same records.
On this page
A module describes what you track. A view changes how you see it. Switching views keeps the same records and filters; it does not create copies.
Which view fits your task?
| View | Best for | What each entry represents |
|---|---|---|
| Runway | Daily triage and deciding the next action | An open deadline |
| Timeline | Planning ahead and spotting busy periods | An open deadline on a time axis |
| Board | Reviewing records together and finding blocked work | One record, grouped by review progress |
| Table | Comparing fields, sorting and bulk recipient changes | One record and its next open date |
| Calendar | Planning a month or checking a particular day | Each open deadline on its date |
Understand the counts
One record can contain several open deadlines. A grant with three reports can appear three times in Runway, Timeline and Calendar, while it has one Board card and one Table row.
Views display the current page, up to 100 records. The matching-record count and aggregate summaries cover all matching records. Use the page controls or filters when the result is larger. Table sorting applies to the current page.
Keep progress separate from urgency
Board columns describe work: Not started, Reviewing, Waiting, Approved, Review complete. Date indicators describe how soon an open deadline is due. A review can be approved while its deadline is still overdue.
Moving a card changes its review stage. Complete a particular deadline when that obligation is fulfilled, or use Mark as renewed when recording an actual renewal and its next date. Those are separate actions.
Keep your workspace focused
Use search, filters and saved views to focus on a module, owner, department or date range. Start each morning with Runway, review bottlenecks on Board weekly, and check Timeline or Calendar before planning the next month.
