Flipchart objects – CardLists

Hint: use CardLists as templates for vertical lists where each entry has a specific series of attributes. Simplify the layout of complex to-do lists or processes with this easy-to-follow format.

Prerequisites #

A flipchart-based activity started

How to use a CardList #

To use CardLists, click on the respective icon in the toolbar on the left of the screen. A second panel will emerge to the right.

You can set a name for the CardList by clicking and typing it in the top field.

To add a card to the list click on “+Add card” at the bottom of the object. A window will pop in the centre of the screen containing the card’s attributes.


In this window, you can write the task’s name and set a background colour to differentiate it from other tasks in the list or add a special meaning to it.
