Kanban is for status, list is for comparing and sorting, and timeline is for schedules. On boards and My Board, you can switch how cards are shown with **Kanban**, **List**, and **Timeline** in the right nav. Each view shows the same cards from a different angle, so pick the one that fits what you're doing. | View | Best for | | - | - | | Kanban | Lining cards up by status and dragging them forward | | List | Comparing fields side by side, sorting, and selecting several cards at once | | Timeline | Seeing the schedule from start date to due date as bars, and dragging to move it | Your browser remembers the view you pick, so the board opens in the same view next time. The setting isn't per board. It applies to every board in the team and to My Board. ## Kanban: move cards forward by status Cards are arranged in four columns: **Not started**, **In progress**, **In review**, and **Done**. Draft cards appear in the Not started column. Cancelled cards don't appear in Kanban. For what each status means, see [Status and the ball](https://help.zarms.cloud/en/cards/status-and-ball.md). * **Change the status**: Drag the card to another column. On a smartphone, press and hold the card for a moment, then drag. * **Change the order**: Drag the card within the same column. The order is saved, and other members see it in the same order. * **Move a whole column**: Click the arrow in a column heading to move all the cards shown in that column to the previous or next status. If a filter is on, only the cards you can see move. * **Add a card**: Click **Create a card** at the bottom of a column to create a card with that column's status. When you change a status, the change is recorded in the card's comments. In ZARMS, the person who needs to act next on a card *has the ball* — it's their turn. If no one is set for the role that gets the ball next, a dialog opens so you can choose someone. For details, see [Status and the ball](https://help.zarms.cloud/en/cards/status-and-ball.md#when-a-role-is-empty). In Kanban and List, you can also use a card's menu to change its status, follow, duplicate, share, or archive it. ## List: compare cards in a table Cards are shown as a table. The columns are number, card name, steps progress, status, priority, start date, due date, hours, assignee, and last updated. In the assignee column, the person whose turn it is is highlighted. * Click a column heading to sort by that column. At first, cards are sorted by the nearest due date. * Rows for overdue cards are colored. * The bottom of the table shows the count for each status and the total hours. In List view, use **Export to Sheet** at the top to export the table to Google Sheets (see [Import and export with spreadsheets](https://help.zarms.cloud/en/boards/spreadsheets.md)). ## Timeline: see and move the schedule A table is on the left and a chart is on the right. The table shows the title, whose turn it is, the status, and the due date. Drag the border between the table and the chart to resize them. * **Time scale**: Choose **Day**, **Week**, **Month**, or **Quarter**. Click **Today** to jump back to today. * **Grouping**: Group cards by **Status**, **Your turn**, or **Priority**. * **Move dates**: Drag a bar to move the start date and due date together. Drag the end of a bar to change only that date. Right after a change, click **Undo** to reverse it. * **Parent and child cards**: Child cards are indented under their parent card, and the parent's bar spans all of its children's dates. You can't drag a parent's bar. Cards with only a due date are shown as ◆. Bar colors show the status, and a clock icon means the card is overdue. Cards without dates are listed under **No date** below the chart. Drag them onto the chart, or click **Set date**, to put them on the schedule. Template cards don't appear in the timeline. ## Showing cancelled cards List and Timeline hide cancelled cards at first. Click **Show N cancelled cards** below the view to show them. If your filter includes **Cancelled** in the statuses, they show from the start. ## Smartphones and other narrow screens On a narrow screen, every view becomes a vertical list of cards. Use **Sort** at the top to choose the order (board order, due date, priority, or recently updated) and to set a filter. ## Troubleshooting * **You see "Could not save the order. Reload the page."**: Reload the page, then drag again. * **You see "A template card cannot be completed or cancelled."**: A template card is a starting point for other cards, so you can't set it to Done or Cancelled. * **Cards don't appear**: Check that no filter is still on. Archived cards show up when you turn on **Include archived** in the filter (see [Filter and bulk edit](https://help.zarms.cloud/en/boards/filter-and-bulk-edit.md)).
