# List view

## What a list view shows

A list view shows items as rows and fields as columns. Items that live inside other items appear as an indented tree.

## Choose the columns and groups

The gear button at the end of the header row opens the column list. Tick a column to show it, and drag to reorder.

**Total float** is one of the columns you can tick. It shows how many working days an item can finish later before its plan finishes later. A dash means float cannot be worked out, such as for an item with no dates. [How dependency scheduling works](../../how-it-works/dependency-scheduling/) explains how float is counted.

The toolbar's **Layout** panel holds **Group by**, which takes one field or several.

When you group by a people field, a deleted user gets no group. An item whose only person in that field is a deleted user goes under **Not set**.

## Set the depth

The toolbar's depth control names the level you read at. Press `-` and `=` to step shallower or deeper.

## Narrow what you see

Press `/` to focus the quick search, and `Esc` to clear it. Filters live in the toolbar's **Items** panel.

A viewer who may edit the view builds a draft. Columns, grouping and filters stay in that draft until **Save for everyone**, and **Discard** drops it. A viewer who cannot edit the view keeps personal filters nobody else sees.

## Add, open and move items

Add an item with the add row at the end of the list, or press `C` to open the create form. The row reads **+ Add item**, or **+ Add** and the type name when the view allows one type only.

Click a row to open the item. Drag a row onto another item to move it under that item. `Esc` cancels a drag, and `Ctrl+Z` undoes the move.

## Export the rows

**Export to CSV** writes the visible columns in their configured order, and the rows as drawn.
