Board Documents

Documents are integral part of work. Therefore, you can take them with you into the KanBo world. Every document which appears in a card, occurs in Board documents section too. 

All these files have a source at SharePoint Document Library which is generated during the Board creation. Every KanBo Board has its own Document Source.

Open the Board documents section and see your files and folders.

  1. Go to the Board menu by pressing more button (three dots) next to the Board’s name.
  2. Select Documents.

The pop-up window with all documents added to this Board will appear to your eyes. 

Create folders and upload documents

You can manage your documents from the Board level by creating new folders and uploading documents from your hard drive. At the top of Board documents window you can see three buttons: New folderUpload and Refresh.

  1. Select + New folder if you need to create a separate folder for new documents.
