Public Views

Public Views share live workspace data through a read-only link. Visitors do not need a Blue account.

Use public views for client roadmaps, public workspace trackers, hiring pipelines, content calendars, or embedded website data.

Workspace Owners and Project Administrators can create and manage public views.

How Public Views Work

Each public view belongs to one workspace and has its own URL, visibility rules, and options. You can create multiple public views from the same workspace.

For example, create one view for clients and another for a public roadmap. Each view can show different data.

Only enabled fields, lists, and records appear to visitors.

Create a Public View

From the Workspace

1. Open the workspace.
2. Select Share in the top-right corner.
3. Select Create public link. Blue opens the public views settings.
4. Select Create Public View.

From Workspace Settings

1. Open Workspace Settings > Public Views.
2. Select Create Public View.

Blue opens the full-page editor. General settings appear on the left, and field permissions appear on the right.

General Settings

Name

Enter a name to identify the public view inside Blue. Visitors do not see this name.

URL Slug

Enter the slug that forms the public URL. For example, roadmap produces a URL such as blue.app/public/your-org/your-workspace/roadmap.

Slugs must be unique within a workspace.

Password Protection

Require a password to restrict the view to a group such as a client, partner, or internal stakeholders. These visitors do not need Blue accounts.

Options

Allow Filtering

Enable this option to show a filter toolbar. If it is off, visitors see only the configured data.

Allow CSV Export

Enable this option to let visitors download visible records as a CSV file.

Allow Opening Records

Enable this option to let visitors select a record and view its details. If it is off, records cannot be opened.

Show Record Comments

Enable this option to show each record’s comment thread to visitors, including author names, mentions, and attachments. Comments are read-only — visitors can read a discussion but cannot post, reply, or react.

This option is off by default, including on views that already exist. It appears only when Allow Opening Records is on, because comments open with the record.

Allow Search Engine Indexing

Enable this option to let search engines discover and index the public view. If it is off, anyone with the link can still open the view, but search engines do not index it.

View Types

Choose the view types that visitors can use. You can rename and reorder them in the view switcher.

Currently supported view types for public views:

• Board: Kanban-style columns.
• Table: Spreadsheet-style grid.
• Calendar: Date-based view.

Public views do not currently support Timeline or Map views.

Record Visibility Filter

Set filter conditions to control which records appear. Blue hides records that do not match the conditions.

For example, show only records tagged Client Visible in a client-facing public view. Other records remain hidden.

Leave the filter empty to show all records in the workspace.

List Permissions

Choose which workspace lists visitors can see. Blue hides all other lists from the public view.

Field Permissions

Choose which built-in and custom fields visitors can see. Built-in fields include the description, dates, assignees, and tags.

Blue hides all other fields from board cards, table columns, calendar tooltips, and the record detail panel.

Saved Views

You can let visitors switch between selected saved views. Visitors cannot create saved views.

For example, provide By Status and By Assignee options. Set one saved view as the default that opens first.

Share a Public View

Select Create Public View to save a new view. When you edit a saved view, sharing options appear at the top of the editor.

Copy Link

Select Copy link to copy the public URL. You can add it to an email, message, social post, or website.

Embed Code

Select Copy embed to copy an iframe snippet. Add the code to a website, Notion page, client portal, or other site.

The embedded view supports the same enabled interactions as the standalone view, including scrolling, filtering, and opening records.

Custom Branding

Public views show a Powered by Blue mark by default. Pro and Enterprise plans can hide it.

Pro and Enterprise plans can also serve public views from a custom domain instead of blue.app. See White Label for setup instructions.

Feature Availability by Plan

Deleting a Public View

1. In the public view editor, select Delete in the top-right corner.
2. Select Delete in the confirmation dialog. Blue permanently removes the public URL, but it does not delete the workspace data.
