Video lesson coming soon. For now, follow the steps below.
Each board has its own columns, labels, and members. Members can be board admins, members (create and move tasks), or viewers (view only).
Where to find it in Cognizy
Before you start
- Only board admins can change columns, labels, and members.
Step by step
- Step 1:
Open the board and click Edit columns. In Manage columns, reorder, change the color, remove, or use Add column.
- Step 2:
Click Labels. In Manage labels, type the name, choose the color, and click Add. Labels help separate task types.
- Step 3:
Click Manage members. See who's already participating and, in Add members, choose the person, the role (Admin, Member or Viewer) and click Add.
How to know it worked
The board shows the columns in the new order, labels become available on tasks, and added members can now see the board.
If something goes wrong
I removed a column that had tasks.
Move tasks to another column before removing one, so you don't lose their place.
