Kanban Board
The Kanban board is a visual way to manage tasks. Each column is a status, and you move cards between columns as work progresses. You can also switch to a List view.
Board Layout
The default columns are:
| Column | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Backlog | Not started yet |
| To Do | Ready to begin |
| In Progress | Being worked on |
| In Review | Waiting for review or approval |
| Done | Completed |
Columns are customizable per department — your board may have different columns. Admins and managers set these under Settings (see Settings).
Kanban vs List View
Use the Kanban / List toggle above the board to switch between the card board and a compact list. Your choice is remembered.
Moving Tasks
Drag and drop a card from one column to another to update its status. The change is saved immediately.
Some moves are blocked — for example, a task that needs approval or is waiting on another task will snap back with a message explaining why.
Task Cards
Each card shows key information at a glance:
- Task ID and title
- Priority — Low, Medium, High, or Critical (color-coded)
- Assignees — avatars of assigned people
- Due date
- Tags
- Status badges — such as Approval (needs approval), Blocked (waiting on another task), and time badges like Late, Over time, Tracking, or Scheduled
- Progress — completion-condition progress, subtask count, and comment count
Overdue cards are outlined in red. Click a card to open its full detail view.
Filtering
Use the filters above the board:
| Filter | What It Does |
|---|---|
| Search | Find tasks by title |
| Epic | Show tasks from a specific epic |
| Priority | Low, Medium, High, or Critical |
| Assignee | A specific person (managers) |
| Department | A specific department (managers) |
There's also a Show all completed option, and an Export button to download tasks as a CSV file.
Members see only tasks assigned to them. Managers and admins can filter across their team.
Bulk Actions
Select several cards using their checkboxes, then use the action bar to:
- Change Status for all selected
- Change Priority for all selected
- Delete them (managers and admins)
Tips
- Use priority colors to spot urgent work fast
- Watch the status badges — Blocked and Approval tell you why a task can't move
- Filter by assignee to check a teammate's workload
- Export to CSV when you need to share or report on tasks
