Projects

Board, backlog and list

A project has four views, along the top: Board, Backlog, List and Reports, plus Releases. Press 1, 2, 3 or 4 to switch between board, backlog, list and reports.

#The board

The board has a column for each status in the project's workflow. Drag a card up and down to reorder it, or across to another column to change its status. Choose + at the top of a column to add an issue straight into it.

#Swimlanes

Choose Swimlanes to split the board into rows by assignee, epic or priority. Dropping a card into another lane changes that detail too, so dragging a card into Sam's lane assigns it to Sam.

#Column limits

A column can have a work-in-progress limit (set in the project's settings: see Workflow). A column over its limit turns red as a nudge to finish things before starting more. It never stops you moving a card.

#The backlog

The backlog lists everything not yet in a sprint, with each sprint above it. Drag issues into a sprint to plan it. See Sprints, estimates and reports.

#The list

The list shows every issue as a row, good for scanning and for changing many at once.

#Change many issues at once

Tick the box on each row you want (or Select all at the top of a status), then use the bar that appears to set the status, assignee, priority or sprint, or to delete them. Moves the workflow doesn't allow are skipped, and SpudSuite says how many.

#Filters and saved views

Use the bar above the board or list to narrow what's shown:

• Filter (press /): words in the title or key.
• Type, Person, Urgency: pick one or more.
• Release, component, label and any custom fields you've added.
• Query: write a query for anything the buttons can't say. See Queries.

Filters live in the address, so you can share a filtered board as a link. To keep one for everyone, choose Views › Save and give it a name. Saved views appear under Views for the whole team.
