Swimlanes in Quire Board View Permalink

Swimlanes provide a visual grouping of tasks in Board View. They help you track project progress by showing related tasks together under a specific category such as assignee, status, tag, or section.

When a board is grouped by any category, Quire automatically generates swimlanes, giving you a clearer overview of task distribution and workload.

Create Swimlanes

Swimlanes are created automatically whenever you group your board by a category.

1. Open your project in Board View.
2. Group the board by a category such as Assignee, Status, Tag.
3. Quire will automatically display swimlanes for each value in the selected category.

Example:

Grouping by Assignee creates a swimlane for each team member, showing all tasks assigned to them under their name.
