# Project Views

Taskade stores information in a flexible tree-structured database. The **same data** can be visualized in multiple ways to suit different workflows. These presentation modes are called **Project Views**.

[**Projects & Databases Guide →**](https://www.taskade.com/learn/projects/databases)

## Views Reference

| View          | Best For                               | Key Interactions                         | Use Cases                                          |
| ------------- | -------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------- |
| **List**      | Linear task lists, meeting agendas     | Drag-to-indent / reorder, checkboxes     | To-do lists, meeting notes, SOPs                   |
| **Board**     | Kanban workflows, pipelines            | Drag cards between columns               | Sales pipelines, project stages, sprint boards     |
| **Table**     | Spreadsheet-style databases            | Inline edit custom fields, sort & filter | CRM, inventory, contact lists                      |
| **Calendar**  | Scheduling & deadlines                 | Drag tasks on calendar, date pickers     | Content calendars, event planning, deadlines       |
| **Mind Map**  | Brain-storming & hierarchical planning | Radial drag to create branches           | Strategy planning, idea mapping, research          |
| **Org Chart** | Organizational hierarchies             | Expand / collapse levels                 | Team structures, reporting lines, decision trees   |
| **Action**    | Mobile-friendly task capture           | Quick-add, swipe to complete             | Daily tasks, quick capture, on-the-go              |
| **Gantt**     | Timeline & dependency tracking         | Resize bars to adjust durations          | Project timelines, resource planning, dependencies |

All views are backed by the **same underlying data**—update a task in one view and it instantly updates everywhere, thanks to Taskade's real-time engine.

> 💡 **Tip:** Use the `/view` slash-command or the View switcher in the top-right corner of any project to toggle between visualizations.

## Field Types Reference

Projects support custom fields for structured data storage:

| **Relation** | Links to other projects         | Dependencies, parent/child relationships |

## View Selection Guide

| If You Need To...         | Use This View     |
| ------------------------- | ----------------- |
| Track tasks with subtasks | List              |
| Visualize workflow stages | Board             |
| Manage structured data    | Table             |
| Plan by date              | Calendar or Gantt |
| Brainstorm ideas          | Mind Map          |
| Show team hierarchy       | Org Chart         |
| Quick mobile capture      | Action            |

### API Considerations

The REST and GraphQL APIs expose **data only**; view choice is a client-side concern. Use the `view` query parameter in certain list endpoints (or the `X-Taskade-View` header) to request server-optimized payloads for large Gantt or Calendar renders.
