How to make a Trello-style kanban board online
Updated
Quick answer
To make a kanban board in LUME Hub, open the Boards app, click Boards (Kanban) and create a workspace. Click Novo quadro (new board), name it, pick a template such as content production and click Criar quadro (create board). Add cards to each column and drag them by the handle as tasks move forward.
LUME Hub's Boards (Kanban) organizes projects into Trello-style columns and cards, with labels, checklists, due dates, covers and team sharing. This tutorial shows how to create your first board and use the everyday features.
Step by step
- Open the Boards app and click Boards (Kanban).
- Boards live inside workspaces. Type a name in the new workspace field and click Criar espaço (create workspace).
- In the workspace, click Novo quadro (new board), enter the board name and pick a Modelo (template): blank, Produção de conteúdo (content production), Lançamento (launch) or Rotina semanal (weekly routine).
- Click Criar quadro (create board). It comes with the template's columns and three labels: priority, idea and done.
- In any column, click Adicionar cartão (add card), type the title and press Enter. To create several at once, paste multiple lines.
- Drag a card by its Mover cartão (move card) handle to another column as the task moves forward.
What can a card hold?
Click a card to open its details:
- Etiquetas (labels): board colors and names; create new ones there.
- Capa (cover): a color or an image (1200 × 400 px recommended).
- Responsável (assignee), Início (start) and Prazo (due date), with date and time.
- Descrição (description), with clickable links.
- Checklists, with items and a progress bar.
- Comentários (comments) and an automatic Histórico (activity log).
- Concluir (complete), Arquivar (archive) or Excluir (delete), and Mover para (move to) another column.
How do I organize columns?
Click Adicionar coluna (add column) to create one. From each column's menu, set the list color, a card limit (the counter turns red when exceeded), archive the column or delete it.
How do I find a card?
Use the card search and the Filtros (filters) button, which filters by label, assignee and due date (overdue, due today, next 7 days or with an open checklist). The view can be Kanban, Lista (list) or Calendario (calendar).
How do I share a board with my team?
Only the owner sees the Compartilhar (share) button. In the share window, set each Hub team member to Sem acesso (no access), Leitor (viewer) or Editor. Boards shared with you appear under Compartilhados comigo (shared with me).
If a card won't move, see Why can't I move cards on my kanban board?. For the other tools, read the Boards app guide.
Frequently asked questions
What board templates are there?
Blank board (to do, doing, done), content production (ideas through published), launch (backlog through done) and weekly routine (Monday to Friday plus done).
Can I create several cards at once?
Yes. When adding a card, paste several lines into the title field: each line becomes a card.
Can a card have more than one assignee?
No. The assignee field takes one person per card, or no one.
Can I see cards by date?
Yes. Switch to the Calendario (calendar) view: cards are grouped by due date. Cards without a due date don't show in that view.
