[New] Affinity Lists Revamp
Have you noticed the new look-and-feel of your Affinity lists? We're here to help answer any questions you may have!
Introducing Affinity's new tab-based layout
Now that all lists have the tab-based layout, you can now open multiple saved views at the same time. You now have two types of views to choose from:
Type 1 - Sheet View
For our regular Affinity users, this is the same list layout you have known all along.
Type 2 - Board View
Learn more about our recently released Affinity board views.
Note: Only status options in the "Open" category will be shown as columns in board view. If there are multiple status options in the "On-Hold", "Lost", and "Won" categories, they will show up after you drag/drop into one of the three categories. You can click the icon right next to the "+" button for each status option to collapse the column.
