New field available: Text Block

Can't fit all the information in one line of text? We've expanded our existing set of custom fields with a new field: Text Block. Perhaps you're currently using our text field and feel visually limited by the number of allowed words. We've developed a solution with the new text block field. Use all the space you need to add your task description or specific comments.

Easily create collections within the Timeline and Kanban view

Just like in the calendar and list view, it's now possible to easily and quickly add cards to a collection. A collection is a group of cards that belong together. The cards have the same title, description, and custom fields. First, select the collection (dot), then create a new card.

Assign resources to your board(s) with ease

Within the configuration of each board, you have the option to add resources. Once you've added resources (employees, machinery, vehicles), you can link them to your tasks.

We've developed something smart: it's now possible to link the resource itself to the boards from the resource configuration. You'll quickly see which boards each resource is linked to, all without navigating through the boards. Pretty handy.

Add comments to your time registrations

With this release, you can also add comments to a time registration. For example, note why you worked longer on the task than initially estimated. This way, all the information is in one place, and you know exactly what you can bill the customer for.
