Overview

The key to getting started with boards is knowing what kind of questions you ask yourself regularly. What are common issues you face? When a problem occurs, what questions help you find a solution?

Creating a good board is about bringing the answers to these questions to the surface. Also, it is important not to cram all of those thoughts into the same board. Creating separate board to pinpoint different issues can help you quickly find your answers.

This guide gets you started on a path to creating boards. These basic boards enable team discussion and speed up issue resolution.

Start by reusing other boards

A common way to start a board is by encountering a similar board already in use, and adjusting it to suit your needs. If you find a board that answers many of the questions you want your board to answer:

• Duplicate the board by opening it and selecting Duplicate from the 3-dot menu (...)
• To change the name, description, or tag, go to the 3-dot menu (...) and select Board Settings
• Save it for later by either Bookmarking it or save it to a Space. Otherwise, you can find it in Library.
• To add more charts, scroll down to the bottom of the page and select ( + )
• To edit a chart hover over the card and select Edit Card from the 3-dot menu (...)
• Other functionality available is for a card:
  • Resizing
  • Duplicate
  • Export as CSV
  • Map Board Filters
  • Remove Card
