⚙️Manage Tabs in projects

In tab management, you can define which tabs within a project are visible, in what order they appear, and which tab is loaded first when opening the project. Saved views and individual tasks can also be pinned as their own tabs.

Opening tab management

1. Open the desired project
2. Click the ⋯ menu at the top right
3. Select Manage tabs

Icons and colors for tabs

All tabs - both standard tabs (such as List, Board, Gantt) and pinned views and tasks - can be given an individual icon or emoji and an accent color. Click the icon to the left of the tab name in tab management to do so.

Showing and hiding tabs

Tabs that are not needed for a project can be disabled. This keeps the project view clearer and limited to the most important functions.

1. Open Tab management
2. Use the toggles next to the tabs to show or hide them
3. Click Save

Adjusting the order of tabs

The order of tabs can be customized so that the most frequently used tabs appear further to the left.

1. Open Tab management
2. Drag a tab to the desired position using the drag handle
3. Click Save

Setting the start view

You can define which tab is opened automatically when someone opens the project.

1. Open Tab management
2. Click Start view next to the desired tab
3. Click Save

Pinning views as tabs

Saved and shared views - e.g. list, board, or timeline views with custom columns, groupings, and filters - can be pinned as their own tabs in the project navigation. Everyone who opens the project will see the tabs exactly as you configured them.

How to pin a view

Step 1 - Prepare the view: Open e.g. the list view, adjust columns, grouping, or filters and save the view via Save as. Share the view in the workspace so it can be pinned.

Step 2 - Customize the tab bar:

1. Open Tab management
2. Hover over the desired view type (e.g. List)
3. Click the + icon that appears and select the view
4. Drag the tab to the desired position using the drag handle

Step 3 - Define appearance (optional):

• Click the icon to the left of the tab title to select an icon or emoji
• Assign a custom tab name - this is independent of the view name
• Choose an accent color for the icon

Step 4 - Save. From now on, the entire project team will see the new tab.

Pinning tasks as tabs

Individual tasks can be pinned directly as their own tab in the project navigation. This is particularly useful for tasks that are opened frequently - e.g. go-live decisions, approvals, or central alignments.

How to pin a task

1. Open Tab management
2. Select + Pin task
3. Select the desired task within the project
4. Drag the tab to the desired position using drag & drop if needed
5. Click Save

After saving, the task appears directly in the project's tab bar. Clicking the tab opens the task details - regardless of which area of the project you are currently in.

Locking the tab configuration

By default, admins and members can edit a project's tab configuration. To protect your curated tabs from accidental changes, you can lock the configuration dialog.

1. Open Tab management
2. Click the 🔒 icon in the dialog

After locking, only admins and you can make changes. The lock can be removed in the same way.

FAQ

How do I open tab management?

Open the desired project, click the ⋯ menu at the top right and select Manage tabs.

Can I hide tabs without disabling them?

Yes. Tabs that are rarely needed don't have to be disabled – they can be hidden in the More … menu and remain accessible from there.

Does the start view apply only to me or to everyone?

The start view defines which tab is displayed automatically when opening the project. It is project-specific and applies to everyone who opens the project.

What is the difference between the tab name and the view name?

When pinning a view, you can assign a custom tab name that is independent of the saved view name. Changes to the tab name have no effect on the view itself.

How do I edit a pinned view (e.g. columns or filters)?

Editing the view itself (columns, filters, grouping) must still be done via the respective standard tab and the View button – not via the pinned tab.

Does a view need to be shared before it can be pinned?

Yes. The view must be shared in the workspace before it can be pinned as a tab.

Who can see pinned tasks and views?

All people with access to the project see the pinned tabs exactly as you configured them.

What happens to pinned tasks when a project template is used?

When a project template with a pinned task is used to create a new project, the tab automatically points to the corresponding task in the new project.

Who can lock the tab configuration and what does locking do?

The lock is set via the 🔒 icon in tab management. After locking, only admins and the person who set the lock can make changes to the tab configuration.
