Boards

Boards are the core of LokalBoards. They represent a workspace where you can organize your tasks, projects, or ideas using the Kanban methodology. Each board consists of areas (columns) and cards (tasks).

Creating a Board

To create a new board:

  1. Navigate to the dashboard.
  2. Click on the "+" button.
  3. Enter a name for your board.
  4. Decide if the board should be private or public, default is private.
  5. Click "Save" to create the board.

Managing Boards

  4. Click "Save board" to apply your changes.

Deleting a Board

  1. Open the board you want to delete.
  2. Click on the "Delete Board" button.

Board Settings

Appearance

A board's tile on the dashboard can carry either a picture or a colour, whichever makes it easier to spot:

  • Thumbnail: pick one of the supplied images, or drop in your own.
  • Colour: pick one of the twelve presets, or mix your own with the pipette. The first swatch is the default and leaves the tile in the app's own colour.

The picture covers the whole tile, so a tile shows one or the other: choosing a colour clears the image, and choosing an image clears the colour. Whatever you pick, the board's name, the member avatars and the badges stay readable — the tile works out whether it needs light or dark text for the colour you chose, so even a pale yellow reads properly.

Privacy Settings

  • Public: Anyone with the link can view the board.
  • Private: Only invited users can view and edit the board.

Inviting Members

To invite members to your board:

  1. Open the board.
  2. Click on the "Invite members" button.
  3. Enter the email addresses of the users you want to invite.
  4. Decide if the user has read only or write access to the board.
  5. Click "Send invite"

Real-Time Collaboration

LokalBoards supports real-time updates. When multiple users are viewing or editing the same board, changes such as moving cards, renaming areas, or updating card details are instantly reflected for all users.

Tips for Organizing Boards

  • Use descriptive names for your boards to make them easily identifiable.
  • Regularly review and update your boards to keep them organized and relevant.
  • Utilize areas and cards effectively to manage your workflow.
