You can group, sort, and filter items, and show or hide fields in your table layouts to suit the needs of everyone on your team. For more information, see [Customizing the table layout](/en/issues/planning-and-tracking-with-projects/customizing-views-in-your-project/customizing-the-table-layout).\n\n![Screenshot showing an example table layout.](/assets/images/help/projects-v2/example-table.png)\n\n## About the board layout\n\nThe board layout spreads your issues, pull requests, and draft issues across customizable columns. You can create a kanban board by setting your column field to a \"Status\" field or set any other single select or iteration field as the column field.\n\nYou can drag individual or multiple items from column to column and the value of those items will adjust to match the column you drag them to. For more information, see [Customizing the board layout](/en/issues/planning-and-tracking-with-projects/customizing-views-in-your-project/customizing-the-board-layout).\n\n![Screenshot showing an example board layout.](/assets/images/help/projects-v2/example-board.png)\n\n## About the roadmap layout\n\nThe roadmap layout provides a high-level visualization of your project across a configurable timespan, and allows you to drag items to affect their start and target dates or selected iteration. Roadmaps use your custom date and iteration fields to position your issues, pull requests, and draft issues on a timeline, allowing you to track work over time and watch progress.\n\nYou can also display vertical lines to highlight key dates for your project, including iterations, milestones, and the dates of items in your project. These markers help you get a clear overview of your upcoming workload and how it's distributed across iterations or milestones. For more information, see [Customizing the roadmap layout](/en/issues/planning-and-tracking-with-projects/customizing-views-in-your-project/customizing-the-roadmap-layout).\n\n![Screenshot showing an example roadmap layout.](/assets/images/help/projects-v2/example-roadmap.png)\n\n## Changing the project layout\n\nYou can set each view in your project to a different layout.\n\n1. Click ** View** next to the search bar of the currently open view.\n\n2. Under \"Layout\", click either **Table**, **Board** or **Roadmap**."}
