*LIFE CHANGING* 🙏 Although ClickUp felt good, I kind of got lost and now I finally know why! I was too high in my hierarchy! Instead of creating folders for each client, I now use lists for my clients, tasks for projects and subtasks / checklist for actual tasks and that makes life so much easier and ClickUp so much more fun! Thank you!!

This makes me SO happy to read, Roy! I feel like this topic does not get enough love in ClickUp circles, but it's made a huge difference for me! Enjoy your realigned setup!! :D

[@erickillian313]

I've watched 10 videos on the hierarchy (even other ones done by Process Driven) and this is by far the most helpful and I think a lot of it has to do with the real world examples throughout the hierarchy. I can't visualize how to use it when it's generic "Client, task 123, subtask 123" but your examples of real clients, projects and tasks helped me solidify this concept. Thanks for the guidance!

First: Layla's presentation is fantastic. Great energy. Great annunciation. Great explanation. Second: I am a noob to ClickUp. I like the overall UX and UI. I am evaluating the app. There seems to be a whole lot of discussion on hierarchy. The filing cabinet metaphor makes great sense to me. Thank you Layla. Noob question: Why wouldn't ClickUp allow sub-tasks to have sub-tasks vs checklists? User-rights? It would seem flexibility of nesting within nesting would be the Holy Grail.

Now that it's possible to create subtasks within subtasks (up to 14 levels, not sure if that high number is needed), I'm back to comparison board of list per project or task per project, cause now that I can breakdown each task in a project in pretty much the same way. Do advise!

[@LaylaPomper]

Hey KM! Just getting caught up on comments🙈 In case you still need support, I reached out to the ProcessDriven Community Coaches and this is what they had to say: While there aren’t many wrong answers, you gain (and lose) various ClickUp feautres by sticking to a certain path. Project = List Pros -Action Tasks are parent tasks. This makes sorting, filtering, and reporting easier across the board. -Lists can have multiple views, so slicing and dicing projects is a bit more straightforward. -Gantt views are easier to work with to show tasks over time. Cons -The project itself cannot have Custom Fields (since it is a List, not a task). -Project information is a little clunky to add and find. Since projects are a List, you can really only add project information in the List Info section, which I’m not sure shows up in ClickUp search results Project = Task Pros -Projects themselves (which are the parent tasks) can have Custom Fields and extra data, which is sortable, filterable, and searchable. -All Projects can live in one List; List per Project can clutter the sidebar if projects are created often Cons -Sorting, filtering, grouping, automating, and reporting become more difficult because ClickUp can’t decide if it wants to treat subtasks like their parents. -Depending on the workflow or industry, (Custom) Relationships may pose an issue. I hope this helps! - Karleigh at ProcessDriven

[@danyos777]

Awesome explanation. I finally wrapped my head around hierarchical organization. You’re a wonderful speaker who clearly articulates ideas. You saved me from starting maybe not the best way the structures for my projects. I’m although highly structured, so I would go with the first hierarchical layout; from space down to the lowest detail acceptable. I DO HAVE A QUESTION: How would you set some sort of “Status” mechanism (rather than colora) to a “List” similar to that Status achieved for Tasks? Thanks so ver much for the detailed explanations.

[@LaylaPomper]

I appreciate your kind words! I’m glad this helped. ☺️ Right now, the only way to accomplish this is using List Color as a “Status”. (If you watch my Live video from yesterday on the channel about ClickUp Structure, this question actually came up!). List Color shows up wonderfully in a Portfolio Widget in any Dashboard, too. 🙂

[@JLandfield1]

Hey James! Just getting caught up on comments🙈 Unfortunately I don't remember! Thank you so much, though!

[@aewcontrol2984]

You could say that your spaces bee your programs inside your portfolio, and the folders inside each program could be individual projects of echo program?

[@LaylaPomper]

Hey! Just getting caught up on comments🙈 Yes! So, Spaces can be your departments or large clients, if you will. If you need a higher level of detail, I would consider using a Space. Then inside your Spaces, you can have Folders be specific projects. Project lists can live housed inside their corresponding Folder. Alternatively, if you don't need a higher level of detail and permissions around client work aren't necessary, you can down a level into the Hierarchy. Remember that using several Spaces will cause you to update ClickApps, Automation, and Templates per Space.

Thank you. Do all workspaces have different dashboards? Or can my personal dashboard give an overview of all my tasks in all workspaces? I have created different workspaces for my different business also one additional for my personal work. How do I see tasks he from all workspaces in one place in one dashboard?? How to use the Master Dashboard? Where I can see my task from all the workspaces in one place?

[@LaylaPomper]

Dashboards show 1 Workspace (aka account) and as many Spaces as you wish. You can make Dashboards private or shared with anyone you’d like in your Workspace.

[@Aarun_Pai]

Thanks a lot! I am from IT hence I made my platform/software as a folder, each feature/functionality as a list, so it would let me manage each task because I may release one sub-feature(task) sooner than the whole feature(list).

Love it! That’s a great structure!!

[@pratikrajsah]

Hey Layla, thanks a lot. Is there any way to collect resources from the client and keep it all at one place? for example, there ideas, assets etc.

[@LaylaPomper]

Hey Pratik! Just getting caught up on comments🙈 A way to collect resources or feedback from clients could be through a Form, depending on how you store clients in your Workspace. For example, if your client is stored as a Folder, you could use Forms to collect feedback. If the Form is created in the Folder, you can designate a List to capture your client's Feedback. Alternatively, if your client is stored as a task, I would consider email in ClickUp. You can email a client from their client task, and any responses to that email (feedback or resources) will come into the comment thread. Any future responses to replies to the ClickUp initiated email will then live int he comment section of the task.

I have a question and I hope you can help me. I've organized each client as a folder level in ClickUp. Some tasks have the same name across different clients. However, when I switch to the table view, I can't locate where I can configure it to display the folder name. This way, I can easily identify which tasks belong to which client, instead of showing the same name for all tasks. Could you assist me with this? Thank you so much.

[@dawidkitura5548]

Great info! So.. This is how, I think, I will do it: As a task I will always choose the things that I will be outsourcing in the future! let say "Video editing" - so that person doesn't need to have the access to brainstorming task - and so on.. Thank you :)

[@LaylaPomper]

Smart thinking! Especially since subtasks can't have unique permissions, it's wise to break things up by "delegation unit"!

[@MartinGamm57]

This is excellent. Are you likely to update now there are more layers of subtasks? Do they add anything more than more complexity?

[@LaylaPomper]

[@myfavoritethings8093]

How do you get the Folders to be stacked under the Spaces within which they are nestled on the side bar? I created a Folder and it doesn't show at all. It is not under my Space that I want it to be in. Help! :)

[@LaylaPomper]

Hey! Just getting caught up on comments🙈 I reached out to our Community Coaches and this is what they shared: You might have moved the Folder or added it to the wrong Space. If it's not under to correct Space, they can go to the Folder where it is, click on the ellipses and select "Move." Then ClickUp will ask where to move the Folder to, they can select the Space, and the Folder will be moved! If it's missing from the entire Workspace, there's a possibility it could've been deleted. I would recommend checking the Trash to see if it's there. Items sent to the trash are recoverable for up to 30 days unless re-deleted from inside of the Trash. Lastly, check the Archived items by click on the wheel inside the sidebar, all the way at the top. I hope this helps! - Karleigh at ProcessDriven

[@puturro]

Your videos are great. One thing about Clickup is that the word "Task" can be a bit tricky, cause obviously it isn't always a Task! and as an IT guy I don't have a problem with that, but users and managers are just a bit too touchy with database item representation. Already the link "new task" when a Task is actually a Client, or a Project, is just too confusing hahaha!

[@LaylaPomper]

Terminology can be so different depending on the platform. Have you looked into SmartSuite? Their "tasks" are called records! processdriven.co/smartsuite/beginner-smartsuite/switch-clickup-to-smartsuite/

I came to ClickUp from Trello. I like the Kanban board for process tracking with the customization options through covers, and the card button option. I have a Kanban board setup in trello bc I want a button to click that automatically either moves a card or sets certain things in motion. Does ClickUp have a similar "card button" option or will I just need to recreate the board and change the status?

[@brisardo]

Thank you very much Layla! Think I need to reorganize everything.. I had a list per project but since there is not a great list overview and you cannot prioritize lists (as far as I know?) I will have a task per project. Working by myself at the moment :)

[@LaylaPomper]

You're so welcome! You can't truly prioritize Lists, but you can use List Colors to *sort of* prioritize them. (More info: docs.clickup.com/en/articles/2773321-list-colors-labels) I do love Task per projects structures, personally! So much simpler.

[@facultysuccesscoach]

Layla, I know that's an old video, but wow that was helpful for me to actually see how those different levels would play out in real life. I'm currently a one person show. I've got some (to me) pretty complex and layered projects; so, I was trying to imagine how to structure them in the system. I also plan to have one or two people working with me in the future on a specific project. Your overview was super helpful.

[@LaylaPomper]

I'm so glad it's standing the test of time!

Thanks! I am thinking folders for catering clients. What if some clients have multiple meals scheduled on the calendar? Is it possible to 'calendar' events/meals on the calendar within a folder?

Really great information, Layla - and so well-articulated! I'd like to use ClickUp to manage clients, marketing projects and business goals. So far, I'm only using it as a glorified (glorious?) todo list.

[@LaylaPomper]

Hey Mark! Well, we all (should) start with the basics -- no harm in that! How long have you been using ClickUp? Without knowing more, I'd say the next best layer of ClickUp to add into the mix (once you've mastered the To Do part!) is Dashboards. Have you played with them at all? 🙂

[@caidenbond1988]

I hate when those project management applications don’t have parenting within itself (I.e. a folder within a folder) because then when you have a big client project and all the rest of your client projects are folders you can’t just create a folder within a folder to keep it all in the same space. Great video!

[@LaylaPomper]

It can definitely be frustrating to feel like you're still being put "in a box" -- especially when other aspects of the tools are super flexible! Glad this video was helpful to you!

[@caidenbond1988]

Layla at ProcessDriven Thanks for replying!

[@mcarpe]

Does Licensing come into play as well. For instance if I go the folder route yet I use service partners for various task duties I found that you have to invite them as guests to each folder. Also, I believe recently Clickup added the ability for nested subtasks which is making me think about moving towards a list model vs. a folder.

[@LaylaPomper]

You can invite Guests at any of these three levels with relative ease, but if you're inviting someone to MANY folders -- I agree, it might be worth switching down a layer! Nested subtasks are great for this. :)

We like to use the board view grouped by type (content, images, videos, customer support etc.) not as status (open, in progress, done.) and unfortunately ClickUp doesn't allow me to do just that. Should I just use custom fields or tags for every single task or is there a more productive way to do this?

[@LaylaPomper]

Hey Ygor! Just getting caught up on comments🙈 Great question! Using Swimlanes, you can group by two fields in Board view. You can sort by these options if your content and departments are Custom Fields. By default, Board view groups by status (open, in progress, and done.) Click into the "Group by" field to edit this. In addition to grouping, you can also "Filter" through tasks and filter through tasks with specific Custom Fields, Tags, Assignees, and Dates. Combining these settings will allow you to optimize the view to show only what you need to see!

[@andreb.6478]

Hi, thanks for your video they are very helpful. I ask myself the following question. For a POC I have several TAsk ... these consist of a description, subtask etc. Is there a possibility to create a document from a list (or whatever) during or at the end of a POC which can be used for documentation purposes? This would be an export, where I only have to adapt the layout without copying content back and forth. (A kind of protocol of my work)

[@LaylaPomper]

Hey! You can create CSV from any View (including List or Table View) that will show the data from the tasks that are there - yup! It’s under the “...” setting within the View. (Or just lookup “ClickUp Export View” for a step by step.) It’s not nearly as pretty as a document/print export, but the print method doesn’t include all the content you’d need.

[@LaylaPomper]

Hey Mafalda! I do hope the pace wasn’t too quick to follow. 🙂 The strategy of what to group by is a bit more subjective. If you organize your work and processes per client, a client structure is a great choice for reporting and grouping back office tasks by client. If you have a more productized service (or not a service) grouping by work type can be more helpful for the efficiencies of having all work of a certain type together. I hope that makes sense? 🙂

[@muflyn]

@@LaylaPomper Actually I wanted a miracle answer! 😂 but it makes total sense. I'll have to see what fits best in my workflow. Thanks again

[@LaylaPomper]

😂😂😂 Don't we all! I have a Decision Tree inside the paid community for a lot of decisions when it comes to ClickUp...but I think this particular one is more about your own personal strategy.

How would you structure the hierarchy for a tax preparation firm where you have 300 entities - I think having a folder for each entity and then a list for Tax return and a task for each year where the task would recur. Also - was setting up my hierarchy and some Entities were entered as lists and some as folders with lists called "tax return" and task for the yea............so when going to the space level and doing a table view I was seeing the task and list name but not the folder name - would be nice to see the folder name on the global space table view - any ideas?

Hi @moetheCPA! Your question is great and we can dive deeper into these types of questions inside our signature program, ProcessDriven Foundations™️. If I'm following your context correctly, I'd test out adding breadcrumbs to the view. This way you should be able to see where the task is located.

[@mesalesme7501]

Why does it suggest a space but duplicates everything as a list? which if you delete the list, it removes it from the space... this is why I gave up on clickup about 4 times to far, so many superfluous confusing duplications and clutter.... click on a space and then click on a list that is nested and its the same thing, then you can rename the list that is nested and its layout is still in the "space" so list and space are the same thing ...but different... why

[@mesalesme7501]

I can only understand this as the "space" tab being everything when clicked on, which is almost a duplication of the "everything" option at the top of the spaces, then when you create a folder and then insert a list or ten lists and within those lists have kanbans etc, if you click on the folder it shows everything in the folder in one window as well, so there are "everything" options everywhere... not confusing at all.....

[@LaylaPomper]

Hey MeSalesMe! I think there's an overall misunderstanding. ClickUp isn't in separate sections that are each unique -- Everything, Spaces, and Folders don't actually CONTAIN any tasks. They're just containers and they "nest" like Russian Dolls do. One inside the other. We have a video coming out very soon (I believe this week?) on how to make sense of the hierarchy. I'd definitely suggest watching it if you're still curious about this! I promise it's less confusing than it feels at first.

I’m a “listen to everything at 2.5x speed” type person, so I think I’m a bit biased toward a faster pace - I’ll try to reign it in for future lives. 🙂

Nice overview. But, you speak like a machine gun ... ;-) I have to have a look 3 times ... :-(

Ha, yep! You can slow down the replay pace if you need to.
