Adding task boards

You can add a task board to create an alternate view of folder contents. When adding a task board, you can configure the columns and swimlanes that organize the cards, and the card color for each item type.

1. Choose Tools > Administration > Task Boards.

The Task Boards dialog box opens.

2. Click Add.

The Add Task Board dialog box opens.

3. Enter a task board Name.

The name is required and must be unique. You can enter up to 64 characters.

4. Enter a Description to describe the purpose of the task board. You can enter up to 255 characters.

5. On the Columns tab, configure the columns to display in the task board. See Configuring task board columns.

6. Click the Cards tab to configure the card colors for each item type in the task board. See Configuring task board cards.

7. Click the Swimlanes tab to configure the rows that group cards in the task board. See Configuring task board swimlanes.

8. Click Diagram Workflow and choose an item type to view a workflow diagram. If you are only logged in to issue management in the project, you do not need to select an item type.

Diagramming the workflow can help you identify states used or not used in the task board. States used in the task board are displayed in blue. Only active states in the workflow are displayed in the diagram. See Diagramming workflows.

9. Click OK to save the changes.

Note:  To view the task board you created for a folder, edit the settings and select the task board. See Editing folder settings.
