Overview

With Quire’s Table view, it allows you to switch up your task list into a structure of a database. It will organize and provide your list with a layout of a spreadsheet, allowing you to view more information in one glance.

With the power of adding more customized fields to your task, you can contextualize your tasks with more information, such as adding URLs, email addresses, or currency and so much more.

You can switch to the Table view from the List or any Sublists in your project by clicking on the Table icon at the upper right corner of the mail panel.

Note: The Table views of each Sublist are different from each other. The columns that you enabled or disabled will be remembered for each Sublist.

And the other Sublist for planning the timeframe of the entire project.
