Standalone boards

One board with its own configuration and access.

Kanban & Table

Plan visually. Track precisely.

Use Kanban when work needs a visual flow. Switch to Table when you need inline editing, grouping, sorting, custom columns, calculations, and spreadsheet-ready reporting.

Switch views without losing context or forcing your team into one rigid way of working.

Included in BasicUnlimited boards on Pro

Table view

Turn your work into a structured table when you need more detail. Filter, group, sort, resize, reorder, show, hide, aggregate, break down, and export the data that matters.

Calendar

Calendar places dated cards on a month or week grid, on one board or across Global Work, so crowded days show up before you promise anything else.

Client-reported bugsPartner intakeStakeholder requestsInternal escalation queues
Create a one-way board mirror
The context stays in sync

  • Comments and attachments
  • Checklist structure and item content

The destination stays useful

The internal team gets a real card in its own board, with local control where ownership should stay local.

  • Keep internal assignees and due dates independent
  • Move a linked card outside mapped lists without stopping content sync
  • Pause, resume, remap, or remove a board mirror
  • See the source board and original-card link on every synced card
