Board

Who can use this feature?

Project Users with Full Planner Access can create and open Board Views.

Board View gives you a whiteboard-style layout of your plan, powered by your lookahead. Drag and drop Tasks, record progress, and adjust your plan as work progresses - all changes update instantly across your schedule.

The date picker lets you choose how many weeks to display on the board, from one week up to four.

To set a date range:

  • Click the date range

  • Select your preferred range at the top of the picker: 1 week, 2 week, 3 week or 4 week

  • Click any start date in the calendar, the end date calculates automatically


Use the arrow controls, zoom slider and scrubber to move through your timeline and adjust how much of your plan is visible at once

  • Changes are saved automatically


  • Change dates: Drag to a different day

  • Reorder: Drag up or down within a Group

Tasks on the Board will always be sorted by Start Date - the earlier a Task starts, the higher it will appear within it's grouping.

Aphex will hold the position of your Tasks while you make edits, and then when you're ready to re-apply the Sort Order, click in the bottom right corner.

Refreshing your Aphex window will also trigger the sort order to be re-applied to your Board View.
