One-click View/Hide Toggle for all Tasks
john mecham
ROOT ISSUE: ClickUp seems to believe more is more when it comes to getting work done. (read to the end)
SPECIFC PROBLEM: A project should contain all tasks required to complete the project. ONE PLACE, but I don't want to show all our internal proprietary tasks to guests/clients, and I don't want to show users all the tasks assigned to other users. Therefore I have to manage two projects set up for every project. One for internal, and another for External. And do mental gymnastics to manage who sees what using the current Clickup design, while also having to deal with everybody aware of everybody else's responsible internally. And still not succeed. This is less organized and harder to manage than a single project where everybody only knows the lane their supposed to stay in.
SOLUTION: add a one-click view/hide (eye icon) toggle for all tasks. "hide" should be the default. "View" an exception. There should be only two over-rides to this: the PM views everything, and the "Guest PM" views all guest-side tasks.
--this caters to the reality of two user types... Internal and Client-facing
--this caters to the reality of two guest types... manager and other stakeholders
--this solves the reality of two task types... Internal and client-facing
--this solves all of clickup's distraction-modes by making me-mode the default mode
--gets rid of users/guests spending any energy in other people's tasks.
Clickup needs to focus on its stated mission: To revolutionize the way people work by providing a powerful productivity platform.
100% of energy should go to getting tasks done, zero distractions on the page... ZERO. Ultimately there should be helps for the user/guest to be more efficient, with incentives built in to do higher quality work in less time. THAT is productivity.
Clickup is WAY too complicated, confusing and messy for everybody but the PM - the only person where more = more. CLICKUP DESPERATELY NEEDS A WORK MODE. Where people see their simple list they need to get done and by when, and the click for details, where they can see who they're waiting on, and other pertinent info that streamlines getting their tasks done.. The interface should be stupid simple to the point that everybody says --- why in the hell are we paying clickup this much for something THIS simple! When people say that... then you deserve to be called a productivity app. Until then Clickup is just another software that actually slows people down, but they use it because management makes them. We need to graduate from this type of software.
