This configuration defaults to the Cardwall view of the Tickets tab. 

Assembla’s Cardwall view automates the “white board and sticky note” version of a Kanban or Scrum board and offers many advantages over a physical wall or board.  If you are using already Assembla’s ticket tool, you can find this view under the ticket tab.

This card wall can organize the work of team members in many locations instead of just one. Everyone on the project, wherever they are, can immediately see who is working on what, what stage of development each task is in, and what which of their own tasks need immediate attention.

Set the default cardwall milestone by selecting the desired milestone filter drop down and simply click the check button next to the dropdown. Now when team members land on the cardwall, they will land on the current milestone representing current work in progress. 

Each column is automatically sorted by the priority of the ticket and cards are color-coded based on their priority – Very High, High, Normal, Low, and Very Low.

You can drag a card up or down to change its priority and order of the cards in a column. This helps you create a prioritized task list and run an XP or Kanban process where you sort the tickets in the “New” column and then pull the top ticket into a working status.

You can drag a card from one column to the next. The ticket will drop into a position that is automatically calculated from its date and priority.  Right-click on a card to edit other details, or click on the card to see the expanded ticket view.

You will want to create columns that match your workflows. The default workflow in Assembla is New > Accepted > Test > Fixed (done) but you can easily create additional workflow steps (e.g. Approve, Integrate, Review, etc.) in the settings sub tab. All open/working workflow classifications columns show in the unexpanded view, but click on the right side bar to expose closed classifications such as Fixed or Invalid. It’s that easy!
