Card views

In this section, you can manage the card views of a given box. Card views allow you to create and configure different risk card layouts to display task information using the Board module.

Task cards display task attributes in rectangular cards. Moving them around and changing selected attributes by dragging and dropping or inline editing field values is very convenient. Any Jira issue type can be displayed as a task card in the Board module.

Using the Card view creator, you can add different fields to the card and change the dimensions of the added field and the card itself.

Security and access

Only a user with a minimum box admin security role can access and manage the box configuration.

To design the card views:

1. Go to box configuration > Board module > Card views.

Open

2. Alternatively, to access this page, you can click the Manage card views button in the Card view drop-down of the Board module.

Open

Add new card views

To add a new card view:

1. Go to box configuration > Board module > Card views.

3. Enter Summary.

4. Define Visibility. Set the visibility to Public if you want other users to select that view from the Card view drop-down.

5. Optionally, provide a Description.

6. When ready, click Create.

7. Once created, the new view appears on the list.

8. To modify the layout, select the clickable name link in the Summary column.

10. You can apply the new layout by selecting the layout from the Card view drop-down in the Board module.

Active card view

If you apply one of the available views from the Card view drop-down, it becomes active, and a green check mark appears next to its name. This means that this view will be applied whenever a user opens the module or returns to it.

Inheritance mode

The card views can be inherited by the sub-level boxes when the inheritance mode is set to inherited only or own with inherited in the box type configuration. This way, every time you create new views or edit the existing ones, all available views will be updated in the sub-level boxes as well. 

To learn more about the inheritance mode, go to Board Card Views.
