3.3Columns

Columns are used to define the current status of a card. This is done by combining two metadata:

  • the name of the column
  • the status assigned to the column, represented by the color in the header

Column

There are four main statuses:

  • OPEN: used for both new and in progress cards, without distinction
  • CLOSED
  • BACKLOG
  • DEFERRED

The aggregate number of cards by status present in the board is then reflected in the main and project dashboard.

  • ARCHIVE: If cards have been closed for a while, then it is advised to move them to the archive. Cards moved here are not included in the board count anymore.
  • TRASH: Cards that have been created by mistake can be put here to separate them from the archive. Cards moved here are not included in the board count anymore.
