Tasks: Customizing Shared Board Columns/Swim lanes

Every shared board's columns — called swimlanes — start out as To Do, In Progress, and Done. On a shared board, you can rename them, recolor them, reorder them, or add more to fit how your team actually works.

Users with the following access: Users with TASK_DASHBOARD:ADMIN access.

Customizing Columns/ Swim lanes

1. Open the shared board and click its gear/Settings icon.

2. Go to the Swim lanes tab.

3. From here you can:

- Add a new column — give it a name and pick a color.

- Edit an existing column's name or color.

- Delete a column that's no longer needed.

- Reorder columns by dragging them into the sequence you want.

4. Save your changes. The board updates to reflect the new column

layout immediately.

A Note on Custom Columns

The three default columns map directly to a task's progress status. If you add columns beyond the default three, check with your administrator on how tasks moved into those columns are tracked, since custom columns may behave differently from the built-in ones.
