A board is a place where you can manage and direct a specific project or team. It is built from sections and tasks that allow you to create custom workflows for your specific needs within a classic Kanban-style view. The boards were designed for quick and easy assimilation into your team's workflow and can be easily created from any of our built-in templates to jumpstart your work. They can also be created entirely from scratch using a blank board and saved as a custom template.

Availability:

The following user-types can take advantage of this feature:

Family users - admins and members.
Teams users - admins and members.

The feature is available on both our mobile and web/desktop apps (functionality-based, see below).

Boards can be created by space admins and members
Boards can be created from a template or from blank (allowing for a custom display)
Boards are created with separate permission-levels (outside the workspace permissions)
The creator of the board will be set as its admin and can assign different permission-levels as needed
Within each board, users can create custom sections to better divide their workload
All non-private boards will be part of the space directory (available for viewing by all space members)
Boards can be public – shareable with external users (who might not own an Any.do account).
Boards can be saved as custom templates for reusable content

Note: Workspace (Teams) users can set boards to private-mode for single or multiple users.
