Lists

Quick reference

• 00:04 Now that we have our Trello board set up, let's see how we can add lists to our
• 00:09 board, and how lists function within the Trello application.
• 00:14 To add a list, select the add a list option here.
• 00:18 You will need to give your list a name.
• 00:21 I'm going to start off by giving this one the label of Notes.
• 00:25 Now I can either select the green Save button or
• 00:29 I can select Enter on my keyboard.
• 00:31 By doing so,
• 00:33 it will automatically get me ready to enter in the name of a second list.
• 00:38 And this can be very helpful when first setting up a Trello board.
• 00:42 Because most likely you will want to set up several lists.
• 00:47 I'm gonna label the second one Projects.
• 00:50 And then I'm going to add a third one, which I'm going to call Tasks.
• 00:55 Now instead of adding a fourth list,
• 00:57 I can just click anywhere here on my Trello board.
• 01:01 And here you can see that the Add a list option will
• 01:04 always be made available to the right of your last list.
• 01:09 No matter if you have 3 lists, like you see here, or 33 lists, there will
• 01:15 always be the ability to add additional lists to the right of your final list.
• 01:21 Now you can always go back and rename your lists.
• 01:24 By clicking on the list name, you can give it a different name if you desire.
• 01:30 You also have the ability to move your lists around.
• 01:34 Simply click the top of the list and hold, and you can drag your list to the left or
• 01:40 the right and put it in any order that you wish.
• 01:44 Now, many Trello boards are designed to be in some type of
• 01:49 workflow often from the left working its way to the right.
• 01:54 You may wish to have some information or to have some cards here on
• 01:58 the left that you wish to pass or push through in some type of process.
• 02:04 Of course, this is not required.
• 02:06 It's not necessary.
• 02:07 And you can set up your list any way that you like within your Trello board.
• 02:12 Now there's a few other additional options that we can make to our lists.
• 02:18 In the top right hand corner we have some further list actions that we can take.
• 02:24 One of them is the ability to copy a list.
• 02:28 This can be helpful if you have a large number of information or
• 02:33 a large number of cards within a list and
• 02:35 you'd like to copy it either to somewhere else on this board or to a separate board.
• 02:41 You also have the option to move your list by selecting this option.
• 02:45 Not only can you change the position of the list, but
• 02:49 you can actually move it to another board that you own.
• 02:53 I could select, for example, this Product Development board, and
• 02:57 move this list to that board.
• 03:00 But maybe I just wanna change the position in my current board.
• 03:04 Here it shows that it's currently in the second position and by selecting 3 and
• 03:09 then by selecting the Move button I can move this list to the final area.
• 03:14 The last thing that can be helpful in the additional list actions area
• 03:19 is the ability to archive a list.
• 03:22 If you have no further need for this list, you can select this option and
• 03:26 it will be removed from your board.
• 03:29 But fortunately it will only be archived.
• 03:31 So in case you do need to go back and
• 03:33 access this information you can retrieve it at a later time.
