What is a View?

Saved combinations of filters that turn a dashboard into a focused report.

A View is a saved combination of filters and date ranges layered on top of a Leanmote dashboard. Views turn a generic dashboard into a focused report you can return to in one click.


​

Why Views matter


​

Without Views, every time you open a dashboard you re-apply the same filters: this team, this date range, these projects. Views save that combination and give it a name, so weekly reviews and monthly leadership readouts each have their own dedicated screen.


​

What a View saves


​

  • Date range — Today, Yesterday, Last 7 / 30 / 60 / 90 days, This month, Last month, or a Custom Range.

  • Teams — one or many, with Include sub-teams as a separate switch.

  • Select projects and Repositories — the scope of boards and code.

  • Work items — the issue-type selector. This is the one people look for under another name; there is no separate filter for labels or workflow stages.

  • Parent tasks — narrow to work under specific parents.

  • Exclude from rework rate — transitions this view shouldn't count as rework.

  • Working days (Flow Metrics) — whether flow metrics count calendar time or working time.

  • Tab and panel state on multi-tab dashboards.


​

Where you'll see Views


​

Every dashboard with sub-views shows them as nested entries in the sidebar, under the dashboard's name.


​

Each dashboard ships with a default General View. You can keep that as the global default and create your own alongside.


​

Common Views to start with


​

  • "Last 30 days — all teams" for weekly delivery reviews.

  • "Last 30 days — Platform team" for team-specific 1:1s.

  • "This sprint" for sprint-end ceremonies.

  • "Last quarter — strategic projects only" for portfolio reviews.
