Using the board and custom columns
Organize tasks on a Trello-style board with your own columns, and drag cards between them.
The board is a Trello/Jira-style view of a project's tasks, organized into columns you define yourself.
Opening the board
The board is one of the Tasks views. Because columns belong to a project, the board needs a project selected:
- Open Tasks.
- Use the breadcrumb's project filter to pick a project.
- Switch the view to Board.
With All Projects selected, the board shows a prompt to pick a project (the other views stay cross-project).
Custom columns
Every project starts with To do, In progress, and Done, but the columns are entirely yours:
- Add a column with the affordance at the right end of the board.
- Rename a column by clicking its name.
- Reorder columns by dragging their headers.
- Delete a column — if it has tasks, avara asks you to move them to another column first, so nothing is ever lost.
A task's column is the source of truth for where it sits — there's no separate "status" to keep in sync.
Moving tasks
Drag a card from one column to another to move it. Changes save immediately, and you can drag with a mouse, touch, or the keyboard. Click a card to open the task's full page.
Quick add
Each column has a quick-add box at the bottom — type a title and press enter to drop a new task straight into that column.
