View Options

Upstat offers two ways to view incidents: Kanban and List. Both display the same data with the same filtering options, but each emphasizes different workflows.

Kanban View

Kanban view organizes incidents into columns based on their status. Each incident appears as a card that you can drag between columns to change its status.

This view works well when:

  • You need to see the distribution of incidents across statuses at a glance
  • You’re actively triaging or coordinating incident response
  • Your team thinks in terms of workflow stages

Cards display the incident title, severity indicator, assigned lead, labels, and timestamps. A minimap in the corner helps navigate when you have many status columns.

List View

List view shows incidents in a table format with one incident per row. This provides a denser display that’s easier to scan when reviewing many incidents.

This view works well when:

  • You’re reviewing historical incidents or generating reports
  • You need to quickly scan through many incidents
  • You want to filter and sort by multiple criteria

Each row shows the incident ID, title, status, severity, assignee, labels, and last update time. Click any row to open the incident detail panel.

Switching Views

Use the view toggle in the toolbar on the Incidents page. Click the Kanban icon for board view or the List icon for table view.

Your view preference is saved per browser, so you’ll see the same view when you return.

Filtering in Both Views

Both views support the same filters:

  • Lead - Filter by assigned user or unassigned
  • Severity - Filter by severity level
  • Labels - Filter by incident labels
  • Status - Filter by status (List view shows this as a toolbar filter; Kanban view shows statuses as columns)
  • Search - Search by title, description, incident ID, assignee name, or label text

Filters work identically in both views. Switching views preserves your active filters.
