Card Issues
This post is also available in: Deutsch
A card issue is a problem with a specific card that prevents it from being effectively progressed. Card issues are marked with specific colors to highlight their impact on the card’s workflow.
There are two main types of card issues:
- Time conflict issues: These issues arise when there are conflicts in the timing or scheduling of card-related activities. They are marked with orange color to draw attention to potential delays or dependencies.
- Card blocking issues: These issues occur when a specific problem prevents the completion or progress of a card. They are marked with red color to signify potential blockers or obstacles.
Time conflict issues
These issues arise when there are conflicts or discrepancies in the timing or scheduling of card-related activities. They are highlighted with the orange exclamation mark on a card front to draw attention to potential delays.
Time conflict issues may include:
- Overdue of the card – Occurs when the due date has passed while the task has not been completed (the status of the card has not been changed to Completed).
- Parent and child relation date conflict – These conflicts occur when the child card’s start or end date clashes with the parent card’s start or end date. For example, if a child card starts before its parent card or ends after its parent card.
- Previous and next relation date conflict – These conflicts occur when the next card’s start or end date conflicts with the previous card’s start or end date. For instance, if the next card starts before the previous card ends or ends before the previous card starts.
Besides the marking on the card front, there is an Issues & Info section inside the card. Here you can find information about the issue character.
As you can see, the card is simply overdue. The due date was 5 days ago, but the card is still in Doing status.
A card can have many different issues. This was the child card in the example above. That means the parent card has a date issue too.
Card blocking issues
Another type of card issue is the card blocking issue. It occurs when a card has been blocked by a user for some reason with the use of a card blocker. They are highlighted with the red exclamation mark on the card front.
If a card has both time and blocking issues, it will be highlighted with a red exclamation mark, as the card blocker is the more relevant obstacle to card realization.
