# Set a default view for your roadmap

_By Sathi · Mar 18, 2026_

When users land on your roadmap, they can choose between two views which are **Timeline** and **Kanban**. The Default User View setting lets you decide which one they see first. Since this is configured per roadmap in multiple roadmaps, you can set a different default for each roadmap in your workspace depending on how it's structured and what makes the most sense for your audience.

To get started, open the roadmap you want to configure and go to its **Settings**.

## How to set it

1.  Head to Dashboard and then go to Roadmap Module
    
2.  Go to Multiple Roadmaps
    
3.  Open the roadmap you want to configure
    
4.  Go to its **Settings at the top right corner of your screen**

5.  Scroll down to **Default User View**
    
6.  Select either **Timeline** or **Kanban** from the dropdown

7.  Save your changes
    

**Quick note :** Users visiting that roadmap will now land on the view you've set. They can still switch between views themselves at any time, this setting just controls where they start.

## Which view should you pick?

There's no universal right answer here and it depends on what each roadmap is trying to communicate.

**a. Timeline** works best when dates and delivery order are the focus. If your roadmap is built around a schedule and you want users to see how work is sequenced over time, Timeline gives them that context immediately.

**b. Kanban** works better when progress and status matter more than specific dates. If your roadmap is organized around stages like Planned, In Progress, and Shipped, Kanban makes it easier for users to get a quick read on where things stand.
