Quire Board View Permalink

The Board View in Quire helps you visually track task progress using a column-based layout. While the nested List view is ideal for planning and breaking down work, Board View is designed for execution and workflow management.

You can switch between views at any time without changing your task structure.

Overview

What is Board view used for in Quire?

Board View presents tasks in a flat, column-based layout, making it easier to:

• Track work in progress
• Move tasks between statuses
• Focus on execution rather than hierarchy

By default, subtasks are displayed as independent cards. If you want to preserve task hierarchy, you can enable Task Bundle to nest subtasks under their parent tasks.

Move and Reorder Tasks

How do I move tasks across columns in Board view?

You can reorganize work visually using drag and drop.

2. Drag tasks up or down within the same column to reorder priority.

Note: Task order in Board View does not affect the task order in Tree (List) view.
