Task style

Task style decides how cards look on this board: the color style, the two card buttons, the top row and the badges along the bottom.

01Open Task style#

Click your board's name at the top left and pick Board Settings. The first tab, Task, holds the task style. The preview at the top shows the result as a Card, List, Gantt or Calendar item, in any status.

02The options#

Status Color StyleHow the status color shows: Task Color, Color Line, Color Title, Color Dot or Color Corner.
Left Button, Right ButtonNone, Done, Next Status, Actions, Quick Edit or Archive.
Top RowTask Key, Pin to Top and Priority.
Bottom BadgesLikes, Subtasks, Dependencies, Description, Files, Comments, Action Items and Client visible.
Compact LayoutTags, assignee and dates share one row and the card gets shorter.

03The default#

A new board uses Task Color, a status button on the left (it opens the status list; Shift-click moves to the next status) and the Actions menu on the right. The style is saved for the board, so everyone sees the same cards.
