How to add it

Per aggiungerla, fai clic sull'icona + situata nell'angolo in alto a destra della scheda e seleziona "altre colonne".

Once in the center, search for the option "Connect boards" in the search bar shown below:

How it works

Step 1

After adding the column, a screen will pop up prompting you to select which board you'd like to link it to:

Step 2

Select the board you would like to connect with your column. In my example, I want to connect the board "cupcakes" with the board "clients".

 Step 3

After selecting the board, you'll have the option to create a "Connect boards" column on the connected board as well, to allow for bidirectional linkage. If you choose this option, the links to the connected board will automatically be populated. No need to flip back and forth between the boards to make sure they're manually synced! Changes made on one board, will be reflected onto the connected board as well.

Step 4

Then, you'll need to select whether you'd like to link to multiple items or if you want to prevent this option simply uncheck the box as seen below.

You can change this setting at any time by going to the column settings as well.

Step 5

Once connected, clicking inside any cell in the column will reveal the items from the other board (clients board). Pick the item(s) you want to connect to from the other board. For example, I want to connect the Velvet Cupcake to Client 1 and Client 2. 

Accanto a ogni cupcake, avremo ora il nome del cliente che lo ha ordinato. Se hai scelto più di 1 elemento, il numero di elementi collegati verrà mostrato lì. Puoi passare il mouse sull'articolo, per mostrare i nomi degli elementi collegati.

E non finisce qui! Continua a leggere, per scoprire opzioni ancora più sorprendenti! 👇 

The pop-up view

Once you have connected the items between the 2 boards, you will be able to view details of your connected items directly from the board you're currently in. To do so, hover over the right of the cell and click "Open View". It will open a card showing all of the information for that item from the linked board. 

Puoi aggiornare qualsiasi informazione sul cliente, direttamente dalla scheda cupcake. Ciò aggiornerà automaticamente la scheda del cliente.  

How to unlink a board

Click on the arrow located on the right of your column's title and select column settings. Once done, click on the cross (X) to remove the board(s).

Nota: Dopo aver fatto clic su "scollega link" tutti i collegamenti precedenti aggiunti nella colonna verranno cancellati.
