Overview

The Board view displays your items as cards arranged in columns, following the Kanban methodology. Each column represents a status or category, and you can drag cards between columns to update their status.

Layout

The board view is organized as follows:
  • Groups appear as horizontal swimlanes (e.g., “Frontend”, “Backend”)
  • Columns represent the status values of a chosen column (e.g., “To Do”, “In Progress”, “Done”)
  • Cards represent individual items, showing key field values at a glance
Choose which column drives the Kanban layout by clicking the Group By dropdown at the top of the board view. Any Status, Label, or People column can be used.

Drag and Drop

Drag cards between columns to change their status. The underlying field value is updated automatically. You can also:
  • Reorder cards within a column by dragging up or down
  • Move cards between groups by dragging to a different swimlane
  • Multi-select cards by holding Cmd / Ctrl and clicking, then drag them all at once

Card Appearance

Each card shows a preview of the item’s key fields. You can customize what appears on cards:
1

Open Board Settings

Click the gear icon in the top-right corner of the board view.
2

Select Card Fields

Choose which columns to display on cards. Common choices include Priority, Due Date, Assignee, and Tags.
3

Set Card Size

Choose between Compact (title only), Medium (title + 2 fields), and Large (title + all selected fields + cover image).

Cover Images

If your items have a File column, you can enable cover images on cards. The first image in the file column will be displayed as a banner at the top of the card.

Column Management

  • Add a column by clicking + Add Status on the right side of the board
  • Rename a column by double-clicking its header
  • Reorder columns by dragging the column header left or right
  • Set column limits (WIP limits) to cap the number of cards allowed in a column
WIP (Work In Progress) limits help teams follow lean principles by preventing overloading any single stage. When a column reaches its limit, its header turns orange as a visual warning.

Filtering and Sorting

Use the Filter button to show only cards matching specific criteria (e.g., assigned to you, high priority, due this week). Use Sort to order cards within each column.

Quick Actions

  • Double-click a card to open the full item detail panel
  • Right-click a card for a context menu with options like Duplicate, Move, Archive, and Delete
  • Press N while hovering over a column to quickly add a new item to that column
