You can create boards in two locations these being.
- Private Boards - Click on the Boards tab in the navigation menu at the top of the screen. If you are in the Teams App, this will be located under the Verto tab.
- Project Boards - Open an existing project or add a new one. Click on the Boards Icon in the left-hand navigation menu.
Multiple boards can be added in either area.
The first time you access the boards area at either a private level or from within an individual project, you will automatically be presented with the board templates screen:
From here you can either create a new custom board from scratch or select from one of our ready-made templates.
