UI Improvements
in progress
Andy Johnston
Click up has great features. But, it's UI is messy and cluttered. Way too much repetition, and poor text hierarchy. If you feel the same way, please use this feed to add in your own UI critiques and hopefully they will listen, and give us a refresh.
Example 1 - The inbox.
The inbox useful in theory, but I find it unusable in practice. Why are dates written as full strings including the year repeated again and again? I am already informed above these tasks what the month is. I find it pretty easy to guess what the year is, and I certainly don't need told what century we're in, and not again and again for every tasks beginning and end date! I find it extremely hard to get a quick sense of what I am looking at. Even dates written in alphabetic style would be easy. Like 7th Jul - 8th Aug. If the month is written above, does it need to be on the task as well?
Similarly, I have named my lists according to the project title. In this view, it is very hard to see the project title easily. This means I have a long list of tasks but it's hard for me to quickly see which projects they relate to. I rarely add project names to my task titles because this would also be unnecessary duplication.
Please redesign this page so that the principle information is clearly visible and extraneous information and repetition is removed.

I think there is too much wasted space all around the UI. See the attached image as an example. In the list view, I am only able to see 2 (two) tasks because of the space between breadcrumbs, despite having more than 50!

Could we please get the ability to customise the bottom-left icons and what comes under the ellipses?
For example, I have no need for "Pulse", "Invite Users" or "Help" to be there to access quickly.
If we could move them under the ellipses along with Portfolios and Reporting, it would free up space in the sidebar to show more Spaces icons in Clean view.
Example image attached.

So true, please give us a UI that looks more like Trello and Asana, there is a reason why these 2 softwares are market leaders

In List view, it would be helpful not to have a purple icon for sorting. It adds to visual clutter and is quite distracting.
Could it be made to be grey instead? So the column which is sorted has a grey sort icon present instead of purple. And if there is no sorting, the icon goes away.

I'd like to include an option to avoid using modal windows if possible as it disrupts the hierarchy of information and adds needless keystrokes/mouse clicks to work on many tasks in a list.

My client (that I am coaching to use ClickUp) has a really hard time distinguishing what is what inside of a space, or what is an is not inside of a folder. In the image, I show each level being open. You can see that when the folder is open, one cannot distinguish between a list that is inside the folder and a list that is not. Also, the arrows next to each level should show that they are expanded or not, which would also help make things easier to distinguish levels. The list that is outside the folder should be outdented/promoted so that it appears at the same level as the folder

please consider reworking the new UI.
Having not icons anymore for Task link copying and TaskID copying makes me read the text. That is no improvement. Zeb

I think there is a huge opportunity in the blank space at the top of the Task view.
Currently, it is wasted space that could be used for links to key areas of a task (subtasks, custom fields, attachments, docs, comments, relationships, etc) and notifications.
You could put icons in that space that relate to the main areas. These could show how many of those items (if necessary) there are (e.g., 3 doc attachments, 4 subtasks open, 2 subtasks closed, etc). It could also just have quick links to areas like custom fields.
These could also have little red notification icons on them if something has changed since you last opened that task view or since you last cleared those notifcations.
The problem at the moment is you have no idea if a task has any of these things unless you scroll through the whole thing. There is no quick way to see if there are subtasks, attachments, docs, comments, relationships, etc, unless you look at the whole view and scroll around. In my suggestion, you would be able to see all this information in one quick look.
I have made a crude example in the attached image.
This would also mean you could lose the comments space that currently takes up quite a bit of room. I personally use the Task Description area a lot, and often put a fair amount of text in there. So I really would like a bigger Task Description area. If you have the comments icon in my suggested image toggle open the comments area, it means you can have a bigger task description area and still quickly see comments.
I have made a separate request, as it's quite specific, called "add quick view and notification icons to Task view", if people would like to vote on it - https://feedback.clickup.com/feature-requests/p/add-quick-view-and-notification-icons-to-task-view

Document lists are hard to navigate, tis would be improved if the focus went directly to the selected document when you remove a filter.

I agree with the Inbox. I especially do not understand or need the "trending" section. It randomly shows tasks I haven't touched in months. It's totally useless to me and I can't hide it.
Guy Mannerings
Jennifer Lachs: I have the same problem with "Trending" showing tasks I haven't even opened in months.

Jennifer Lachs: Totally agree on the "trending"
