The Board View
The Board is the default view for any project. It organizes tasks as cards arranged in columns, where each column represents a status in your project’s workflow. Moving a card from one column to another updates the task’s status immediately. The Board is best for day-to-day work management — seeing what is in progress, what is blocked, and what is ready for review at a glance.Columns
Each status in your project workflow appears as a column on the board, in the order set under Project → Settings → Statuses. Cards represent individual tasks.- Drag a card from one column to another to change its status.
- Click a card to open the task’s full detail view.
- Click the column header to collapse that column and give more screen space to others.
Swimlanes
Swimlanes add a second grouping dimension within each column. When a swimlane field is configured, each column is divided into horizontal rows — one row per value of the chosen field. You can group by any of the following fields:| Swimlane field | Groups tasks by |
|---|---|
| Task type | Each task type gets its own row (Bug, Story, Task, etc.) |
| Assignee | One row per team member plus an Unassigned row |
| Priority | Critical, High, Medium, Low, None |
| Label | One row per label value |
| Custom field | Any configured select or user-type custom field |
Card fields
By default, cards show the task title, priority, and assignee avatar. You can configure which additional fields appear on each card. Available card fields:| Field | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Assignee avatar | Profile photo of the assigned team member |
| Priority | Priority badge (Critical, High, Medium, Low) |
| Due date | Due date, highlighted in red if overdue |
| Labels | Label tags on the card |
| Story points | Numeric story point estimate |
| Task type icon | The icon for the task’s type |
| Custom fields | Any custom field configured for the project’s task types |
Card color rules
Card color rules let you apply a background color to cards based on their field values. Rules are evaluated in order — the first matching rule wins. Example rules you might configure:| Condition | Color |
|---|---|
| Priority = CRITICAL | Red |
| Label = “Blocked” | Orange |
| Assignee = (specific person) | Blue |
| Due date is overdue | Dark red |
Quick filters
The toolbar at the top of the board provides quick filters that apply instantly without changing the board configuration:| Filter | What it shows |
|---|---|
| My Tasks | Only tasks assigned to you |
| Unassigned | Only tasks with no assignee |
| By Priority | Filter to one or more priority levels |
| By Label | Filter to tasks with a specific label |
Configuring the board
Choose a Swimlane Field
Under Swimlane Field, select the field to group tasks by within each column. Select “None” to show tasks without swimlane grouping.
Configure Card Fields
Under Card Fields, toggle on the fields you want visible on task cards. Drag to reorder the fields.
Add Color Rules
Under Color Rules, click + Add Rule. Choose a field, an operator (equals, contains, is empty, etc.), and a value. Pick a color. Drag rules to set their evaluation priority.
Board settings are saved per project and apply to all team members viewing that project’s board. Individual members cannot override the shared board configuration.
