An easier way to deal with a large number of boards

Kanban & Lean, Usability, Whiteboards

As folks use Kerika over a long time, and for a variety of purposes, they may end up with dozens or more Task Boards and Whiteboards in their account.

One easy way to keep your focus on the most important boards is to use the Favorites feature: the Home screen has separate tabs for Favorites and All Others:

We have made it even easier with two new filters:

  1. Show only Active Boards: this means that only boards that are not in the Archive or have been deleted will be shown.|
  2. Show all types of Boards: you can choose to see only Task Boards, only Whiteboards, or both.

Enjoy.

Dragging tasks into hidden columns

Usability

The ability to hide (collapse) columns is very useful when a board has many columns, and not all of them are immediately important. We have now made it easier to use hidden columns: if you want to drag-and-drop a task into a hidden column, just hold it over the hidden column for a couple of seconds and the column will open to let you drop the task into it.

Dragging columns

Usability

Did you know that you can easily rearrange the columns on a Task Board by pressing down on the column name for a couple of seconds? This makes the column “draggable” which means you can then move it easily to the right or left to change its position within the board.

Easier to mark an entire board as read

Usability

Sometimes you want to mark an entire board as read, for example when you don’t have the time to catch up on all the changes that took place (and maybe you don’t care?)

There’s an easy way to do this now: from your Home screen in the Kerika app, right-click on any board card and you will find a new “Mark all tasks as read” option in the dialog that pops-up:
