Swimlanes

In the card views for Projects, Tasks, Cases and Portfolios, you can choose to organize the cards into swimlanes. The options for swimlanes will differ slightly for different areas, but in general you can group cards into swimlanes by:

  • Groups
  • Job Titles
  • Resources
  • Labor Reseources
  • Non-labour Resources
  • Managers 
  • Reviewers

You can also select a default swimlane grouping in the Card View settings.

While your cards are grouped into swimlanes, they can be moved horizontally, from column to column, across your workflow. They can move vertically, between swimlanes, only if the work item is linked to one resource. Work items linked to multiple resources cannot be moved between swimlanes.

To group your cards into swimlanes:
  1. In the Card View, click Swimlanes by.
  2. Select one of the options in the dropdown menu.

Your cards will be grouped into swimlanes based on the option you selected. By default, the top swimlane will appear expanded and the remaining lanes will appear collapsed. The Swimlanes by option will change to reflect your selection.

To expand a collapsed swimlane:
  1. Click the right-facing angle bracket to the left of the swimlane name.
To collapse an expanded swimlane:
  1. Click the down-facing angle bracket to the left of the swimlane name.

           

NOTE

Searches and filters applied to the view will only return results from expanded swim lanes.
