As Kerika gets adopted by larger teams, working on larger and more complex projects, we have seen an increasing need to create filtered views of projects.

To make this easy, in the usual Kerika style, we are adding Tagging as the main new feature in our next release. This video will give you a quick overview of how tagging works in Kerika:

The concepts behind tagging are simple:

• Every project board can have its own set of tags, and tags can also be added to templates if you want them to be part of your regular workflow.
• Every Project Leader and Team Member can add new tags, apply tags, or remove tags.
• A quick filter capability lets you easily see which items on a board match specific tags.
• If you are working on a Scrum board, tags are integrated with your Backlogs: bringing a card in from a Backlog will automatically add the tags for that card to your current project board.
• Tags are always converted to lower-case, and are not case-sensitive: i.e. “Server” becomes “server”. You cannot add duplicate tags to a board, so, for example, you can’t have “Server” and “server” as tags within a board since they are both considered the same.

There are a bunch of other improvements in the new version, of course, but tagging is the one you will see right away! Let us know what you think…
