How to change the options shown by default in project task list

Question

----> All tasks    Calendar   Completed   ...    <-------
These three options show by default followed by ellipse.
 I want to display not just three but maybe many options by default here like for example I want gantt option also to be shown.
User should see it straight away and not have to click ellipse to locate it.
Is it possible to modify what options are shown by default here.
Thanks.

Since you are using SharePoint 2013 I would recommend you to consider the following approach. In SharePoint 2013 was introduced a so called Client Rendering Mode (CSR) which is intended for rendering of List Views and Forms using HTML and JavaScript and
which is a default rendering mode.
About View selector menu
As part of CSR ClientPivotControl control (clienttemplates.js) is intended for rendering View selector menu, SurfacedPivotCount property defines the amount of view menu options rendered horizontally (default value is 3)
How to display custom amount of view options for List View using CSR
The following template demonstrates how to override SurfacedPivotCount property in order to display 4 view menu options:
function renderHeaderTemplateForDocuments(renderCtx, fRenderHeaderColumnNames){
var viewData = eval(renderCtx.ListSchema.ViewSelectorPivotMenuOptions);
ClientPivotControl.prototype.SurfacedPivotCount = 4;
return RenderHeaderTemplate(renderCtx, fRenderHeaderColumnNames); //render default Header template
SPClientTemplates.TemplateManager.RegisterTemplateOverrides({
Templates: {
Header: renderHeaderTemplateForDocuments
How to apply the changes:
There are at least two options how to apply the changes:
Using JSLink property of XLV web part
Place JavaScript template on page via Script Editor/Content Editor web parts
Here is how to apply the changes using the second option:
Switch the page (NewForm.aspx) into edit mode
Add Script Editor webpart right below the list view web part.
Put the specified code by wrapping it using script tag code into the Script Editor, for example: <script type="text/javascript">{Template JS code goes here}</script>
Save the page
