Find a board of topics or initiatives here, or make one. Open it from Boards under Workspace in the menu, or from Manage boards in the board switcher on the topics or initiatives list.

In the picture, ACME’s boards, each kept by a different person and shared with everyone.

Workspace › Boards: a Search or filter boards box and a New board button above a table of seven boards, among them Customers (Topics, Manual · 7 lists, Everyone · Ana Ruiz), Delivery (Initiatives, Manual · 5 lists, Everyone · Lena Fischer) and Support (Topics, Manual · 5 lists, Everyone · Ines Costa).

  1. Search or filter boards. Type part of a board’s name to narrow the table, or pick a filter (see Filters).
  2. New board. Opens a new board’s page (see A board).
  3. Customers. A board’s name. Click it, or anywhere on its row, to open the board’s own page.
  4. Holds. Whether the board shows topics or initiatives.
  5. Type. Automatic shows what matches the rules you set. Manual shows lists, one column each, and says how many, like Manual · 5 lists.
  6. Sharing. Only me, some people, or everyone in the organisation. It also says whose board it is. Everyone · Ines Costa is Ines’s, shared with everyone.

Everything comes first in each area’s board switcher. It isn’t in this table. It shows every topic or initiative you can see, and you can’t change it.

The workspace agent is on the left. Ask it for a board in your own words, and it fills in a new board’s page for you.
