Pick a view that suits how you work
Updated 18 May 2026
Same project, three lenses. Different brains naturally read work differently — some live by phases, some by dates, some by sheer volume. Tyto lets each person on the project pick the lens that fits them, in real time, without changing what anyone else sees.
The three
- Board. Kanban-style columns. Best when work moves through phases (idea → doing → done) and you want to see what's stuck. The board can group by status, workflow stage, parent task, assignee, or owner — flip the grouping from the same menu.
- Outline. A hierarchical tree. Sortable, filterable, fastest for skimming a lot of tasks at once. Closest to a spreadsheet without being one.
- Timeline. Gantt-style bars across calendar dates. Best when one task can't start until another finishes.
Which lens fits when
- Stages matter more than dates → board
- Dates matter more than stages → timeline
- Volume matters more than either → outline
It's normal to flip between two of them on the same project depending on what you're doing. The view choice is per-user — your designer's choice doesn't change yours, and your project manager can keep a timeline open while you stay on the board. Everyone reads the same data through the lens that suits them.
You're set
Five articles, about ten minutes. You've made a task, you're using My Tasks for your day, you've built a project, you've invited a teammate, and each of you can now read the project the way that suits you. The rest of the help library goes deeper — integrations, mobile, admin — each part has its own short tour.
