Cards view overview

The Card view is a Kanban-style board that provides is visual workflow in which users can move cards from lane to lane. Agile and hybrid teams can use the cards, columns, and continuous improvement to determine the right amount of work to commit to in the defined period. You can group the lanes by any field. When cards are moved from one lane to another the relevant data is updated across the application.

The cards that appear in the view are determined by your permissions and the board settings.

The Card view can be set by the owner or editor for the board. Viewers cannot configure the View settings, but they can add columns and modify the default columns that are set by the board owner. The current user's settings are saved during their session.

The Card view is supported in boards for tasks and cases, and in details views for portfolios and projects.

The card should be sorted and grouped based on your use case. By default, cards are sorted based on the Due Date and grouped by State.

You can hide the columns that have no data by selecting the Hide Empty Columns option on the Group By list.
