Board
Board is an alternate way to view and edit plans that have already been created on the Gantt. Projects in Board can be viewed in one week intervals only.
Create a view in Board to match your preferences precisely, save your configuration, and share it with your team or specific users if needed. Views in Board view are separate from views on the Gantt.
Add Task
Users automatically become the Task's Owner when they create a Task.
By default, the new Task will be a one-day Task created on the Monday of the selected week in the top group, unless the Task is added to a specific day.
New Tasks will have the Project's default calendar selected, and be set to a Day Shift.
The dates and grouping of a Task can be modified with drag and drop.
Milestones cannot be created from Board.
Filters
By default, the new Task will be a one-day Task created on the first working day (of the Project's default Calendar) of the selected week in the top group, unless the Task is added to a specific day.
If you have filters selected, these will be pre-assigned to new Tasks that are created:
Where there are more than one active filter for a single-select property, the first selected filter will be used on the task
If an active filter would be an invalid property on the task (eg a locked package), nothing will be pre-populated
Any pre-assigned resources will be allocated a quantity of 1 by default

You can choose how tasks are organised in Board view by setting the Group.
The Primary and Sub-Groups you can pick from are:
