# Organise to-dos on boards and lanes

Create boards for each process, add your own lanes, and drag to-dos from lane to lane as the work progresses.

Updated 4 October 2026

**Who can do this:** The Todo platform feature.

A board groups the to-dos of one process or team, for example "Workshop" or "Customer service". Each board has lanes, like columns on a whiteboard. You drag to-dos from lane to lane as the work moves on.

## Create a board

1. Open the **Todo** tab on the dashboard.
2. Click **\+ Create New** and choose **Board**.
3. Enter a **Name** (up to 35 characters).
4. Optionally write a **Description**.
5. Click **Save**.

Every new board starts with three lanes: **To do**, **In progress** and **Done**. These are set by the system and cannot be renamed or removed.

## Find and open a board

1. Choose **Boards** in the drop-down at the top left.
2. Choose **My Boards** (boards you created) or **All Boards**.
3. Use the search box to find a board or a to-do.
4. Click a board card to open it.

Each card shows the description, who created it and when, the number of attachments and comments, and the number of to-dos per lane.

## Work on a board

* Drag a to-do card to another lane to move it on. Dropping it in **To do**, **In progress** or **Done** changes its status accordingly. Your own lanes keep the to-do's current status.
* Drag to-dos within a lane to change their order.
* Click + on a lane to create a to-do directly in that lane.
* Click **View Overdue Only** to see only overdue to-dos.
* Choose **My To-Do** or **All To-Dos**, or use the search box, to filter the cards.
* Click **Go Back to Boards** to return to the list.

## Add and arrange lanes

1. Inside the board, click **\+ Create New** and choose **Step / Lane**.
2. Enter a **Name** (up to 20 characters).
3. Pick a **Color**. Colours already used by another lane cannot be chosen.
4. Click **Add**. The lane appears under **Arrangement**.
5. Drag the lanes under **Arrangement** into the order you want.
6. Click **Save**. Nothing is stored until you do.

To rename a lane, click its name under **Arrangement**, change it and click **Update**, then **Save**. On the board itself you can also drag lanes by their handle to reorder them.

Removing a lane with the bin icon on the board also deletes the to-dos in it. Move the to-dos to another lane first.

## Edit or remove a board

* Click the pencil on a board card, change the name or description and click **Update**.
* Click the bin on a board card and confirm with **Remove** to remove the board.
