Using the Kanban Board View for Tasks

< 1 min read

The Task Manager has two views: List and Board. The Board view presents your tasks as a kanban-style layout, organized by status column.


Switching to Board View #

  1. Open the portal and click the Tasks tab.
  2. Click the Board button in the top-right of the Tasks header.

To switch back, click List.

Your view preference is remembered while you are in the portal.


How the Board Is Organized #

In Board view, tasks are grouped into columns by status:

  • To Do — Tasks with no progress yet
  • Up Next — Tasks queued and ready to start
  • In Progress — Tasks actively being worked on
  • Complete — Finished tasks

Each task card shows the title, assignee avatars, and due date at a glance.


Moving Tasks Between Columns #

Drag any task card from one column to another to change its status. The task status updates immediately.

You can also change a task’s status from inside the task detail view.


Requirements #

The Board view requires Task Status Tracking to be enabled in your settings. If statuses are disabled, tasks only have an open/complete toggle and the Board view is not available.

To enable: Settings → ClientPress → Features → Task Status Tracking.
