Display settings are located on the top space bar.
The example below shows the Kanban view display settings where you can decide whether to show: child cards, empty groupings, or timeline. You can also add or remove card details.
Card details
Each card has a card details section in its structure. There you can find features like labels, dates, statuses, etc. The same information can be viewed from the space level. You do not need to enter the card to check it. Use display settings to show them all.
Card detail can be displayed in a space view:
- as an icon on the card front (Kanban view, List view, Mind Map view)
- or as a column (Table view, Gantt Chart view).
If you want to see precise information about cards at a glance, add details from the menu. Available card details to show:
start date – the date set for the start of the card
due date – the date set for the end of the card
creation date – the date of card creation
completed date – date of changing the card status to Complete
age – number of days since card creation
status – the icon with the name of the card status
list – all card lists the card belongs to
label- all labels assigned to the card
children – number of subcards (completed/all)
default parent – the name of the default parent card
– number of items from to-do list (completed/all)
Not every card detail is available to show in every space view.

Try hiding them using the 
collapse button or the Hide empty groupings option in the display settings menu.
This option is available in the Kanban view, Table view, and List view.

FAQ
Can I create my own version of the space view?
When you change display settings in space view, there is an option to save, discard the changes or save it as a personal view. Only you can see a personal view, but every card action will be visible to everyone in the space.
Where is the display settings menu located?
The display settings menu is located in the top right corner of the space.
What is the difference between hiding empty groupings and collapsing empty groupings in the display settings menu?
Hiding empty groupings completely hides the empty groupings from the space and collapsing empty groupings only minimizes them to take up less space.
