How ClickUp's Hierarchy Works
ClickUp's hierarchy is the structure that decides where every task, project, and department lives. When it is unclear, work ends up in random places, managers lose visibility, and new hires struggle to find anything. This short video walks through the whole structure so your team starts on solid ground.
You will see how a workspace sits at the top, how spaces map to departments, and how folders and lists organize the work beneath them, down to tasks and subtasks. It also covers the nesting mistake most teams make, and a simple rule for keeping your setup clean as you grow.
ClickUp can send email from inside a task, so the client conversation stays with the work it belongs to. How to connect an email account, send from a task and keep client replies threaded on the same task.
ClickUp's Workload view shows how many hours each person has scheduled each day against their capacity, coloured green, yellow or red. How to read it and move work so nobody on the team is overbooked.
ClickUp Docs and wikis keep documentation next to the work. How to build a doc with pages and slash commands, comment in it, mark it a wiki and set access.
