Create Group

All Items in Boards are grouped in sections called Item Groups. These Groups are color-coded and help you organize and visually divide the Items into different sections with each section representing any notion meaningful to you, or related to the project, process or activity you’re trying to manage.

Keep in mind that, besides being marked by color, Groups are also structured by Fields created on a Board level. Once created, Custom fields are set up as templates for all Groups in that Board.

Once you create the Board, an empty Group and an empty Item samples are automatically created. These samples are always available at the top of the Board, and can be edited and further customized.

However, if you’d like to add new Group manually, follow the steps below.

All the actions listed below can be performed by all Team Members who have access to the Board.

To add new Group:

  1. Navigate to New Item at the top left corner of the Board
  2. Choose New group of Items from the dropdown

You’ll get the template for new Group. Customize it according to your needs.

or:

  1. Navigate to + Add to board at the top right corner of the Board
  2. Choose Group from the dropdown

You’ll get an Item Group and Item template ready to be customized.

  1. Tap on + button at the top of the screen
  2. Choose New Group of Items

or

  1. Scroll down to the bottom on the screen on the Board
  2. Tap on +New Group label

  4. Tap Add to complete the process

Once you’ve created a new Item Group, it will be visible on the Board on the iOS and web app.

  2. Tap + icon at the bottom right part of the screen
  3. Choose New group
