Introduction

Column views allow you to add different fields and configure their display and aggregation settings, which determine determining how data is presented in the Gantt-type module's task list.

Each Box box type has a predefined list of column views, which you can edit or create new ones.

...

Info

The Card View configuration page will not be visible if the Gantt module is not active inactive or the Inheritance mode is set to 'inherited ‘inherited only'.

Active column view

Expand the drop-down menu to see the list of available column views. When you select Selecting one of them , it becomes active and is applied whenever a user opens the module or returns to it.

...

When the "Inheritance mode' is set to "Own" or "Own with inherited," App Admins can create the default Column Views, which will be used every time a new Box of a given type is created.

...

Info

We recommend using the 'Built-in" type of fields, which display field values from all synchronized fields in Jira and connected tools. For example, the "Start date" built-in field shows the date values from all fields mapped as the start date in the Fields configuration and from connected tools, such as Trello.

To add a column, click the 'cog' icon on the far right of the task list header. Use the search box to find the fields you want to add:

Restricted columns

Info

BigPicture respects restricted column settings from monday boards.

If the Restrict column editing option is set for a monday column, users who can’t edit such a column in monday, will also be unable to edit it in BigPicture (the column is visible in BigPicture but can’t be edited).

If the Restrict column view option is set for a monday column, users who can’t see such a column in monday, will also be unable to see it in BigPicture. The column header displays Unavailable.

...

Affects

Switching between column views may clear the grouping. Grouping is based on visible columns - if the new column view doesn't contain columns used for grouping, grouping is cleared. If possible, grouping is maintained.
