Kanban boards are useful for displaying tasks in a database as they move through stages of a process, or are grouped by property. This way, you can add your tasks to the board and always keep track of where your project is headed.
Add board view
Adding a board to an existing database allows you to view the data in a board to the database:
Select the database to which you want to add a board view, and then click + View in the channel navigation.
Select Board from the list of view type, and give it a name in the text box.
Choose a property to group the data by, and then click Create.
🗒️ Note Database come with a default list view, so if you want to use a board view, you’ll need to add it yourself.

Click the + icon at the top-right of any group column to add an item to the top.
