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.

To add a CardList to the flipchart click on it in the second panel or use Drag & Drop to place it in a specific part of the flipchart.

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.

To edit the rest of the card’s details, click on „Show task info“. The window will expand and display the following options:

Assign the task to a person, set the duration, start date and due date

You can mark the task as completed or the progress in %, then click on “Apply”. You can add as many cards as you need by following these steps.
