The Kanban View offers a visual way for users to track project tasks across different stages such as New, In Progress, Review, and Completed. Each task appears as a card, allowing you to quickly review , update and organize work in one place.

This view helps you understand project progress at a glance, manage workloads effectively, and keep tasks moving across different stages with simple drag-and-drop actions.

1. Switching to Kanban View:

  • Select a project from the Project list and go to the Tasks tab.
  • Click on the Board button to change the view from list view to board view.

2. Understanding Task Cards:

Each card displays key details to help you understand the task at a glance:

  • Priority (e.g., Medium, High)
  • Task ID
  • Task Name
  • Due Date
  • Assignees (shown as profile icons)
  • Total Logged Time

3. Adding a New Task:

  • Click + Add Task button or + on any of the column.
  • Enter the required task name.
  • Add details such as Due Date, Assignees, and Priority if needed.
  • And finally click Create to save the task.

4. Editing a Task Card:

Task cards support both quick edits and detailed edits, allowing you to update information based on need.

Quick Edits:

  • Click on the Check button to save changes.

Detailed Edits:

  • Hover over any card and click on the Edit icon to open the full task form.

Refer to topics like Add Multiple Assignees to a Task, Change the Priority of a Task to know more about editing a task.

5. Moving Cards Between Stages:

  • Hover over the task card and drag it.
  • Drop the card into another column, example:
    • New → In Progress
    • In Progress → Review
    • Review → Completed
  • The task status updates automatically based on the column you drop, and the same status applies in the list view as well.
  • You can reorder cards within the same column to organize tasks based on your needs.
  • You can also reposition the entire board to arrange columns in the order you prefer.

The Kanban View helps you manage tasks more efficiently by giving you a simple, visual, and interactive way to track progress. With quick edits, drag-and-drop movement, and clear task indicators, you can stay organized and keep your project workflow running smoothly.
