Create and set up a Board

In this article, we will cover what a Board is and how you can create one from scratch or from a template.

Was ist ein Board? #

A Board is where work happens in Plaky. It’s a structured list of Items (tasks, requests, projects) organized into Item groups and tracked through fields such as status, assignee, and due date. Every Board lives inside a Space.

Public vs. private Boards #

Every Board is either public or private. You select the Board type when you are creating it, but you can change this later.
