Boards and cards

Labels and lanes

Tag cards with labels and group big pieces of work into lanes.


Labels and lanes both sort cards, but they answer different questions.

Lanes

You usually pick a workspace's lanes when you create it, and you can add more any time from the Lane menu in a board's toolbar. Describe a lane to Orchit AI, or create one with a name, colour and description.

Put a card in a lane from its Lane field. Then use the Lane menu to show one lane's cards, or group the board by lane to see each one as a column. A lane's menu also lets you update, duplicate or delete it.

Labels

Add labels from the Label menu in a board's toolbar, or right on a card: type a new name in its labels field and create it. A label is shared by every list in its module unless you keep it to one list.

Use the Label menu or a filter to show only labelled cards, or group the board by labels.

Note

Labels belong to a module, so open a module to add them. Only people who can edit the module can add labels.
