One of ClickUp’s strongest advantages is the flexibility of views at the Space, Folder, and List levels. Teams can tailor their workspace to match different working styles and operational needs, which directly improves productivity, visibility, and adoption across departments.
However, this flexibility currently stops at high-usage personal views such as Assigned to Me and Today & Overdue, despite these being among the most operationally critical areas of the platform.
IMPROVEMENT 1: Customizable My Task View (For Assigned to Me and Today & Earlier)
It would be extremely valuable if users could:
  • Toggle between multiple layouts (List, Board, Calendar, etc.) inside Assigned to Me and Today & Overdue
  • Save preferred view configurations
  • Customize which custom fields are visible from outside the task
  • Apply filters specific to their role or workflow
  • Create different saved personal views depending on operational needs
Different team members process work differently:
  • Some operate more efficiently in List View
  • Others rely heavily on Board View
  • Many teams rely on key custom fields being visible at a glance without opening the task
Currently, Assigned to Me and Today & Overdue remove a large amount of operational context because they do not offer the same customization capabilities available elsewhere in ClickUp.
This becomes especially problematic for teams that depend heavily on custom fields to execute work efficiently. Without these visible directly in Today & Overdue, users are forced to open tasks individually just to gather basic execution context, which slows down workflows significantly at scale.
IMPROVEMENT 2: Expanded Filtering Capabilities
Execution teams often only need visibility into actionable tasks relevant to their daily workload.
However, Today & Overdue currently includes everything assigned to them, including:
  • On Hold tasks
  • Waiting for Client tasks
  • Blocked items
  • Non-actionable backlog items
This creates unnecessary clutter and increases the likelihood of:
  • Missed priorities
  • Reduced focus
  • Task fatigue
  • Slower execution
If customizable filtering and custom field visibility were available inside these personal views, managers could:
  • Create cleaner execution-focused views for team members
  • Hide non-actionable statuses
  • Surface only priority or active work
  • Ensure key operational custom fields are visible immediately
  • Maintain separate management-focused views elsewhere in the workspace
This would significantly improve usability for larger teams and operational environments where task volume is high.
Additional Note:
I remember Notion having a very intuitive way to toggle between saved database views directly from the same interface, similar to how ClickUp currently handles “Group By” options. A comparable approach inside Assigned to Me and Today & Overdue with considerations to viewable custom fields would make these areas substantially more powerful and adaptable.
This feature would improve scalability, execution speed, and operational clarity for teams managing high workloads daily.
