📊 Adjust the Y-axis
-
Choose how your process cards are grouped vertically: e.g., by team member, category, or label.
🔽 Define sorting logic
-
Choose up to three criteria for automatic sorting within each column (e.g., “Priority”, “Status”, “End Date (Plan)”).
🗂️ Set card view
-
Define the default display of cards:
-
Expanded: shows details like title, status, assignee, form ID, end dates, priority, etc.
-
Collapsed: compact display showing only the card status (red, yellow, green).
-
-
Templates tab: Prepare tasks & checklists
-
Create predefined templates that automatically trigger tasks or checklists during a phase transition. (Creating and using templates is explained in a separate article.)
