What are the "Features Of Digital Boards?"

Features of Digital Boards

  • The Clone and Create method involves categorizing tasks based on global scope items and parent tasks. Subsequently, a board is automatically generated based on this categorization. The tasks under this can be seen under active boards or C & C boards based on its status.
  • The Custom method allows users to create their own boards, along with tasks and assigning them to stakeholders or themselves. This is particularly useful for creating personalized to-do lists. The tasks under this can be seen under active boards or custom boards based on its status.
