Projects & workflow

Organise projects: list & board

See your pipeline two ways: a sortable list for scanning and detail, or a drag-and-drop board for moving deals through their stages — both showing the same projects.

Two views, one pipeline

Your projects live in one place, and you choose how to look at them. The list view is for scanning and detail; the board view is for moving deals along. Switching between them never changes the underlying projects — only how they're presented.

The list view

The list is best when you want to read across many projects at once — to find a specific deal, compare them, or work top to bottom through what needs attention.

  • Scan every project in a compact, sortable row layout.
  • Sort to bring the most relevant deals to the top.
  • Reorder by dragging when you want a manual priority.
  • Open any project to see its documents, phase and status.

The board view

The board shows your projects as cards arranged in columns by stage. It's the natural way to run a pipeline: drag a card from one column to the next as the deal progresses.

  1. Open the board

    Switch from list to board to see your projects as cards in columns.

  2. Read each column as a stage

    Columns map to where a deal is in your process — see Project phases & status.

  3. Drag to move a deal

    Pick up a card and drop it into the next column to update its stage in one motion.

  4. Open a card for detail

    Click into any card to reach the project's documents and history.

When to use which

Both views work on the same projects, so switch freely.

Most teams keep the board open day to day and drop into the list when they need to hunt down a particular project or work through a long backlog.

Tips for a clean pipeline

Frequently asked questions

Does switching to the board change anything?

No. The list and board are two views of the same projects. Switching is purely about how you want to look at your pipeline.

What do the board columns represent?

They map to your project phases — the stages a deal moves through. See Project phases & status for how to set those up.

Can I reorder projects manually in the list?

Yes. You can drag rows to set a manual order when sorting alone doesn't put the right deals on top.

If I drag a card on the board, does it update everywhere?

Yes. Moving a card changes the project's stage, and that's reflected in the list view too, because both views read the same project.
