Features

So far, there are three modes. Categories, tags, and assignment. You can drag topics between lists to change the corresponding attributes:

Lists are ‘lazy-loaded’, so performance is reasonable, even for very large numbers of categories. You can enter fullscreen mode for even more space to organise your projects:

The default board mode will be automatically determined using these criteria:

  • If this is the top level, use categories mode
  • If this is a category, and there are sub-categories, use categories mode
  • Otherwise, use tags mode. (Lists built from ‘top tags’ list)

You can change the board mode using the filter button on the left, and configuration changes will be reflected in the URL. Users can bookmark their favorite configuration in their browser. Administrators can customize the defaults per-category in the theme settings.

The most intuitive setup is “tags”, where the tags displayed are in a tag group with “only one tag from this group” enabled.

Settings

Name Description
display categories A list of categories where the “Board” button should appear. If left blank, it will be shown everywhere. Use @ to denote the top level view.
default modes Override the default board mode for each category. Use the syntax category:mode:params. For example, support:assigned:david,sam,joffrey. Use @ to denote the top level view. Use @untagged to display an untagged column.
