As the new year begins, many teams are ready to kickstart their 2025 initiatives. And we have two feature updates designed to help you stay organized and divide the work effectively, so you can execute quickly.
Upgraded table groups: flexibility meets visibility.
Whenever a group is created, it becomes both a group and a hidden, ungrouped column This means you can update values such as task status or task owner quickly, without needing to adjust the group settings. That way, your tasks or goals can be displayed as organized groups, while making it easy for team members to keep their data fresh.
Introducing subitems: fresh out of beta.
With subitems, tasks can now be broken down into smaller, distinct pieces, allowing for better scoping, assignment, and tracking. Subitems create a parent-child hierarchy for tasks or goals, ensuring every piece is accounted for and managed effectively, offering clear visibility into progress and deadlines.
To turn on subitems, right-click (Windows) or command-click (Mac) on a row and select insert subitem. Alternatively, open the table display options and toggle show subitems. This will both turn on and display subitems.
Table groups and subitems: A dynamic duo.
When you add a group to a table with subitems shown, child items will remain nested under the parent item, and the displayed group will reflect the value of the parent item. That way, teams can easily monitor high-level progress. But when you want to get more granular, you can also display the column showing the value for each subitem.
For example, in the table below, status is grouped at the parent item level, but statuses for each parent and child item can easily be updated within each row.
