The board

The board is the home view of every project. It shows your tickets organized into a kanban, with drag-and-drop between columns.

Four views, one board

Toado supports four layouts for the same underlying data. Toggle between them with the view switcher in the top right of the project page.

ViewWhen to use
KanbanThe classic columns-and-cards layout. Best for visual triage with drag-to-move between workflow stages.
CardsA flat grid of every ticket, no columns. Best for “show me everything” scanning across stages.
TableDense, sortable, filterable. Best for “I have 200 tickets and need to find one.”
SingleOne ticket fills the page. Best for focused work on one item without sidebar distraction.

Your view choice is per-project per-user, so each teammate can use the layout that suits them.

Kanban view

The default. Tickets are grouped into columns by workflow stage. Each ticket is a card showing:

  • The screenshot thumbnail.
  • The title.
  • The creator avatar and timestamp.
  • Assignee avatars (if any).
  • A small status chip if the ticket is resolved or has a branch in progress.

Drag a card between columns to move it. Drag within a column to reorder.

For ticket detail, click the card. Press Esc to return to the board.

Cards view

The same card style as Kanban, but presented as a flat grid across all columns. Useful when you want to scan every active ticket without the visual overhead of stages, or when one column has so many tickets that the kanban feels lopsided.

Cards are sortable (by created date, last activity, assignee). Drag-to-move is disabled in this view; use the ticket detail’s column picker, or switch to Kanban, to change a ticket’s column.

Table view

Columns: Title, Column, Assignees, Created by, Created at, Last comment, Branch.

Click any column header to sort. Hold Shift while clicking another header to multi-sort.

The same drag-to-move semantics work as in Kanban view, but you drag the row.

Single view

A queue mode. The ticket fills the screen. Use J / ↓ and K / ↑ to step to the next or previous ticket in the queue without going back to the board. Press Enter to open the selected ticket in full view, or Esc to return to the board.

Kanban

By default, every project starts with three columns: To Do, In Progress, Done. You can rename, add, remove, and reorder columns from Project settings › Kanban.

Common configurations:

  • The default 3-column flow.
  • Add In Review for a human checkpoint between In Progress and Done.
  • Add Blocked for tickets waiting on something external.
  • Add Won’t Fix for triaged-out tickets you want to keep visible.

There is no enforced workflow. Any column can move to any other column.

The search bar at the top filters the visible tickets in real time. Search matches title, description, and comment bodies.

Filter chips below the search bar: My tickets, Assigned to me, Created in the last 7 days, Has branch, Resolved, Archived. Click to add filters.

For the full search experience (across all projects in the company), see Search & filters.
