Use Tag view

What do you want to do?

Tag view lets you quickly visualize the status, progress, and issues of elements within a project or workflow. You can sort a map based on tag groups within a map. This feature works well within workflow and process planning. A count of the number of topics in each column is displayed at the top of the column.

 

You can customize many elements of Tag view. You can move, rename, delete, add color to Tag view columns. You also have the option of displaying topic formatting, such as shape or font. You can choose how to sort topics choose whether to show or hide subtopics.
