General settings allow you to define the basics of your template.
Template name
Each of the templates need to be named. The template name cannot be empty, aside from that you are free to use whatever name you want. The template name is the only required information which you have to provide while defining a new template.
Card designer
There are two types of layouts you can choose from. Depending on the type of layout you will either gain on simplicity of design or the full control of the size and placement of the issue fields. For more details read on:
Card outline
Individual cards may look nicer if you addadditionalborder to them. The border is going to be printed in black color and will be of a defined line width. Putting "0" in this field makes the border disappear.
Cutting markers
It may be easier to cut the individual cards if you print them with cutting markers. The markers are printed in light gray color at the cards' intersections.
Color bars
Color bars hold additional information and do not take a lot of cards' space. Currently, color bars can be used to identify:
- issue types: each issue type identified in the system can be assignedwitha different color
- projects: if your board is configured to span across multiple JIRA projects you can tell the cards apart by assigning different colors to different projects
Color bars can be positioned in three possible ways:
- as vertical lines of fixed width on the left side of the card
- as horizontal lines of fixed width at the top of the card
- as one of the fields, in which case you control the shape and size of the color bar in the Card Layout screen
Each color bar can have its own color defined easily. You can define separate color schemes for the templates that you have configured.
