Using the Kanban Board

The Kanban board gives you a visual, column-based view of all the work in your workspace. Each column is a status, each card is a task or issue. Drag a card from one column to another to update its status.

Overview​

Open the board by clicking Kanban in the left sidebar. The header shows the current workspace. Below the header you have a filter row and the board itself.

The board uses the status columns defined in your workspace's Masters. By default you will see:

  • TO DO
  • IN PROGRESS
  • IN REVIEW
  • DONE
  • CANCELLED

A coloured bar at the top of each column indicates its status colour, and a small count next to each column header shows how many cards are in it overall.

Filtering the board​

Above the board is a filter row with three multi-select dropdowns:

  • Sprint — pick one or more sprints to include
  • Priority — Low, Medium, High, or Critical
  • Assignee — one or more workspace members

On the right of the row you have two more controls:

  • Issues toggle — when turned on, bug/issue cards are loaded and appear alongside tasks. Issue cards have a red left border and a small bug icon, so they are easy to spot.
  • Swimlane dropdown — group cards into horizontal swimlanes by Sprint, Epic, Assignee, or Priority. Choose "No Swimlanes" for a single flat board.

Each swimlane is collapsible — click its header to fold or expand it. Sprint swimlanes also display their date range on the right.

Reading cards​

A card shows:

  • The item ID (for example TASK-ABC123 or ISS-XYZ789)
  • A priority icon (star for Critical, triangle for High, dash for Medium/Low)
  • The title
  • An epic tag in a coloured pill, if the item is linked to an epic
  • The assignee's initials in an avatar badge

Cards in the Done or Cancelled column show muted, struck-through text.

Moving cards​

Only admins can drag cards. To move an item:

  1. Click and hold a card.
  2. Drag it over the target column — the column highlights.
  3. Release to drop.

The status saves immediately. If the update fails, the card snaps back to its original column.

Tips​

  • Turn on the Issues toggle only when you need to see bugs — the board loads them on demand to stay fast.
  • Combine a Sprint filter with a Priority filter to focus on just the critical work for the current iteration.
  • Use the Epic swimlane to see how work is distributed across larger themes.
