Custom Views help you pull tasks from multiple boards into one simple place. Some Custom Views can also be created as Reports, which summarize activity over a selected timeframe (like completed work and time tracking), without changing the original board.
If you want to change how a single board looks (Kanban, Table, Calendar, Gantt), see: Choosing the Right Board View (Kanban, Table, Calendar, Gantt)
