You can now import your Board

Agile & Scrum,

Kerika’s AI Helper just got better: you can now import a variety of files that contain the tasks you want to include in building a new Task Board.

What had previously been an IMPORT FROM TRELLO button is now a more general IMPORT MY DATA. Clicking on it brings up your import options: from Trello, as before, and now also by uploading a file:

For refugees from Trello, the CONNECT TO TRELLO option is the best way to bring all, or just some, of your Trello boards into Kerika. Pressing this button results in Trello asking if it is OK for Kerika to have access to your Trello account for an hour. (Actually, we just need a few minutes, but Trello’s minimum access is 1 hour.)

If you have tasks in a Microsoft Word or Excel document, the UPLOAD A FILE option is best for you: pick a file and Kerika’s AI Helper will read it and figure out how to make a board with its contents.

Give it a try and let us know what you think!

How to import boards from Trello

Kerika, Technology, Usability,

We have added an exciting new feature: if you were previously using Trello, you can import that data, completely, into Kerika!

We have been testing this as a convenience feature and based upon positive feedback we have expanded this for everyone.

New users will be offered this as an option when they set up their Kerika accounts:

All users will have this option whenever they want to create a new Kerika board:

We built this feature because we have heard from many people switched over from Trello and really liked Kerika’s user experience, features, and support. In the past they had to manually recreate their work inside Trello; now that’s all automated!

Everything is handled nicely: your Trello cards, lists, people, task details, etc. come over. Once you are done, a single click can then send out invitations to all your old Trello colleagues to join you in Kerika.

Enjoy.
