Introducing: List View

Rachit Khator -

In every organization, there are countless pieces of information—tasks, records, client details, project updates, all scattered across different tools and spreadsheets. While these details may seem small, they play a crucial role in decision-making and workflow management. But often, teams struggle to keep track of everything efficiently. Important updates get buried in lengthy tables, critical details are overlooked, and valuable insights get lost in the clutter.

That’s where Stackby’s new: List View steps in.

Whether you’re a startup managing leads, an enterprise tracking inventory, or a marketing team handling content calendars, list view helps you structure your data in a clear, intuitive format. Unlike traditional spreadsheets or databases, this view ensures that nothing slips through the cracks, giving you complete control over your information.

What is List View?

List View in Stackby provides a structured, easy-to-read format where every record is displayed as a neat, organized entry. Think of it as a smart, streamlined way to view your data—allowing you to focus on key details without unnecessary distractions.

Instead of sifting through endless rows in a grid, list view presents your information in a linear layout, making it easier to scan, sort, and manage. You can quickly find what you need, categorize data efficiently, and keep track of critical details without missing a beat.

Key Features of List View

1. Structured Data Organization

Instead of complex, overwhelming tables, data is displayed in a clean and single-column format, allowing for quick and efficient browsing.

2. Flexible Sorting & Filtering

Customize your view by sorting and filtering data based on priority, status, date, or any relevant field, so you always see the most important information first.

3. Grouping for Better Organization (Coming Soon)

Soon, you’ll be able to group records based on categories, teams, or priorities to make navigating large datasets even easier.

4. Expandable Record Details

Click on any item in the list to expand and view additional details, such as descriptions, attachments, or linked records, without overwhelming the main interface.

5. Inline Editing

Make quick updates to your data without switching views. Modify fields directly from the List View, saving time and reducing manual effort.

6. Color-Coding & Tags

Add colors, labels, and tags to categorize your list items, enhancing visibility and organization.

7. Prefix Fields

You can add prefix fields with single option, checkbox and collaborator column types - to display those fields before the primary column in the list for better visualization and ease of use.
