💡 What Is Instagantt Board View and How Does It Work?

The Board View in Instagantt provides a visual representation of your project workflow, displaying tasks as cards inside columns. Each card can be moved between columns to reflect its current status or section.

This feature is ideal for teams who prefer Kanban-style project management, allowing them to track project progress visually.

In the Board View, you can:

  • Create and edit tasks as cards
  • Drag and drop tasks between columns to update their status
  • Keep your team aligned with a clear visual project structure

🛠 How to Access the Board View

Follow these steps to open the Board View:

  1. Open your project in Instagantt
  2. Navigate to the top of the screen, where the different project views are displayed
  3. Select Board View

Your project will now display in a board layout, showing all tasks as cards organized into columns.

You can switch between Gantt View (or any other view) and Board View at any time, with all changes reflected in real time.

📋 How to Manage Tasks and Use Columns in Instagantt Board View

In Instagantt’s Board View, tasks are displayed as cards organized into columns. Each column represents either a status (e.g., Not Started, Started, Finished) or a project section, depending on how you choose to group your tasks.

You can easily switch between group by Status or group by Section to view your project from different perspectives and keep your workflow organized.

Within the Board View, you can:

  • Add new tasks directly as cards
  • Edit task details, including assignee, due date, or section
  • Drag and drop tasks between columns to instantly update their status or section
  • Visualize project progress and see updates reflected automatically in your Gantt chart

This streamlined interface gives teams a clear, Kanban-style visual overview of their projects — making it easier to track progress, prioritize work, and manage changes efficiently.

📝 Subtasks in the Board View

Subtasks appear nested under their parent task card in Board View. You can:

  • Check off subtasks individually to track progress
  • View all subtasks without leaving the Board View

Subtasks cannot be moved independently between columns but can still be marked as completed from the Board View.
