The main layout

The center of the screen is where your records live — people, companies, opportunities, tasks, notes, dashboards, workflows, and any custom objects. You view, edit, and delete records here, and create new views.

The left sidebar gives you:

  • Workspace switcher — switch between workspaces or create a new one (top dropdown)
  • Search — press / to focus instantly, searches across all objects
  • Settings — access from the top left
  • Favorites — pinned views, unique per user
  • Object shortcuts — quick access to People, Companies, Opportunities, etc.
  • Workflows — create automations

Drag items to reorder, create folders to group related objects, hide what you don't use.

Command menu

Press Cmd+K (Mac) or Ctrl+K (Windows) — or click the three dots in the top right. From here you can:

  • Create new records
  • Import and export data via CSV
  • Create new views
  • Access deleted records (Twenty supports soft and hard deletes)
  • See keyboard shortcuts for navigating your workspace

Accessible via the Command Menu, the top of the navigation bar, or by pressing /. Search works across all objects.

Side panel

Click a record to open the side panel on the right — a quick overview of the record's key information without leaving the current page. Click Open to go to the full record page.

Views

Every object supports multiple views — unlimited per object. Use the dropdown at the top left to switch between them.

  • Table — spreadsheet-style rows and columns, with grouping, inline editing, and column customization
  • Kanban — drag-and-drop cards organized by a select field, ideal for pipelines
  • Calendar — records plotted by a date field for time-based planning

Each view saves its own filters, sorting, and field visibility. Share views with your workspace or keep them private. Favorite views for fast access from the sidebar.

Record pages

When you open a record, the detail page is built from configurable tabs and widgets. Add, remove, reorder, and resize widgets on a grid — fields, related records, emails, timeline, tasks, notes, files, charts, iframes, and more. Each object type has its own layout.
