Why This Matters

Getting this feature set up correctly saves you time and reduces errors in your daily workflow. Let's walk through it step by step so you can get back to running your business.

Finding the right project view becomes easier when teams do not have to select the same job type again and again. With the new Kanban Default Job Type option under project settings, organizations can now choose a default job type for the Kanban view. Once selected, that job type will open by default every time the Kanban interface is accessed, helping teams save time, reduce extra clicks, and stay focused on the projects that matter most. Follow the steps below to set default job types in Kanban view.
