The Group By Views
Thy viewing option is a great way to view tasks in order by group, based on the priority you wish to view them.
There are four group by view options View by title, View by Label, View by Assigned to, and None. Let's go over these below.
Group by Title - this allows you to view the task according to the title you set when creating them. Take a look at how this looks below.
Group by Label - organizes the tasks according to the labels you have set. In the example below, you can my tasks are organized by the labels Kitchen, Waiters, and Manager.
Group by Assigned to - organizes the tasks in groups according to who they are assigned to. In the example below you can see I have set the group by view and group by assigned to. I can see each user name as a group with their tasks inside
Group by None - this option, doesn't group the tasks at all. All the tasks as seen together according to the list or date view set. Take a look at how this looks below.
View By Status
Another great way to view your tasks is to view them by their completion status.
In order to view tasks by status, simply click the status you wish to sort by at the top of the task list. You can sort by Tasks in Total, Open tasks, and Done tasks. Each view tells you how many tasks you have in each category.
If you select open tasks or done tasks your task view will only contain tasks with either the status open or the status done. Notice in the example below I have set the status to be done tasks and I only see tasks with the status done.
