Viewing Item Lists in the mobile app

Who can view an Item List? 

Any user with at least one custom List shared with them or created by them can view their Item Lists in the mobile app. 

How to view an Item List

To view an Item List in the mobile app:

  • Navigate to the Lists section of the mobile app. 
  • In this section, you will see all of your Item Lists organized into Pinned Lists, My Lists, and Shared Lists

    • Each List will have an icon indicating its share setting, helping you understand who can view your List and what permissions you have on Lists shared with you. 
    • If a List was recently shared with you, it will have a blue dot beside its name. 
  • Select the name of any Item List to view it. 

    • Select an Item to open it. Closing the Item will return you to the List. 
    • All View Types are supported by the mobile app except for Calendar View. If your List is saved in Calendar View, the mobile app will show it in Detail View instead.

    • Owner: By default, the person who created the List is its Owner. If someone else should be the Owner, use this field to search for and select them. There can only be one Owner per Board.
      • If the new Owner has the "Create Item Lists" permission, they'll be able to edit the List's filters and configuration.
      • If the new Owner has the "Create Item Lists" and  "Share Item Lists" permissions, they'll be able to edit the List's filters, configuration, and share settings.
      • If the new Owner has neither the "Create Item Lists" nor the "Share Item Lists" permissions, they'll be able to access the List but won't be able to make any permanent changes to it.
    • The Share checkbox: When enabled, the "Viewer(s)" and "Editor(s)" fields will appear beneath the checkbox, enabling you to share this List.
      • Viewer(s):  Viewers can access the List but cannot make permanent changes to its configuration. Use this field to search for and select the people, Locations, or Roles that should be given access to this List.

        If you make a Location or Role a Viewer, any General Users in that Location or with that Role will be considered a Viewer. If you select the "Everyone" option, every General User in your organization will become a Viewer.
      • Editor(s): Editors can access the List and can save changes to its configuration if they have the "Create Item Lists" permission. Use this field to search for and select the people that should be made Editors.
