The example below shows the Kanban view display settings where you can decide whether to show: child cards, empty groups or timeline. You can also add or remove card details.

Card details

Every card has a card details section in its structure. You can find there features like labels, card dates, statuses etc. The same information can be visible from the board level. You do not need to enter the card to check it. Use display settings to show them all.

Card detail can be presented:

  • as a flag on card front (Kanban, List, Mind Map)
  • or as a column (Table, Gantt Chart).

See more card details (or less)

If you want to have more precise information about cards at one glance, add details from the menu. Available card details to show:

  • start date – the date set for the start of the card
  • due date – the date set for the end of the card
  • creation date – the date of card creation
  • completed date – date of changing the card status to Complete
  • age – number of days since card creation
  • status – the icon with the name of the card status
  •  list – all card lists the card belongs to
  •  label- all labels assigned to the card
  • children – number of SubCards (completed/all)
  • default parent – name of the default parent card
  • ToDo – number of SubItems from ToDo list (completed/all)

Not every card detail is available at every view.

Add card details

Go to display settings and select + Add card detail. Choose needed postions.

Remove card details

Hover over a card detail on a display settings list and press three dots. Here you find a button to Remove it.

Expand child cards

There is an option to show whole child cards connected with a card at the board.

All you need is go to the Display settings. After activation of Expand child cards option you can see all the children cards under the parent card.

You can hide child cards in exactly the same way.

This option is available at Kanban view and List view.

Hide empty lists

Sometimes you might have empty groups like Unassigned, that can take up space on your Board.

Try to hide them using  collapsing button or Hide empty groups option at the display settings menu.

This option is available at Kanban view, Table view and List view.

Remember to save the changes

If any modification is applied to an existing view you will see the notification about unsaved changes. It appears at the top of the Board.

If you want to keep the changes, select Save option. If you choose to Discard your recent steps, the view will not be overridden with changes.

Go to Board views for more.

FAQ

When you change display settings at board view, there is an option to save, discard the changes or save it as a personal view. Only you can see a personal view, but every card action will be visible for everyone in the board.

The display settings menu is located on the top right corner of a board.

Hiding empty groups completely hides the empty groups from the board and collapsing empty groups only minimizes them to take up less space.
