Swimlanes

Swimlanes are horizontal separations in your board. For example, they are useful for separating software releases, dividing tasks by different products, teams, or any other criteria.

Board with Swimlanes

Board with Swimlanes

  • You can collapse swimlanes by clicking on the icon on the left.
  • The default swimlane is always shown at the top.

Managing Swimlanes

  • All projects have a default swimlane.
  • If there is more than one swimlane, the board will display all swimlanes.
  • You can drag and drop tasks between swimlanes.

To configure swimlanes, go to the project configuration page and choose the section Swimlanes.

Managing Swimlanes

From there, you can add a new swimlane or rename the default one. You can also disable or change the position of different swimlanes.

  • The default swimlane is always at the top, but you can hide it.
  • Inactive swimlanes are not shown on the board.
  • Removing a swimlane does not remove tasks assigned to it; those tasks will be moved to the default swimlane.
