How to create a personal board (My Boards)

At the top of the screen, click on the My Boards tab under the Verto navigation menu.

The first time you access the personal boards area, you will be presented with the Board Templates screen:

From here you can either create a new custom board or select from one of our ready-made templates.  

Add a custom board

Click on one of the following options:

  • Blank Board - enter a board title into the pop-up and click ‘Add’ to start working on your blank board. See How to add and edit lists for more information.
  • Simple Board - enter a board title into the pop-up and click ‘Add’ to start working on your board with three pre-set lists (To Do, Doing, Done). See How to add and edit cards for more information. 
  • Custom Lists - enter a board title into the pop-up, along with at least one custom list title, and then click ‘Add’ to start working on your custom board. See How to add and edit cards for more information. 

Add a board template

Click on the 'Add' button underneath a template to add to the My Boards area and begin using it immediately. 

Alternatively, click on the 'View' button to see the template in full screen.  From here either use the 'Create Board From Template' button to create a new board using the template or use the 'Explore More Templates' button to go back and explore the other templates available.

Note: When opting to use a board template you can also choose to keep the cards.
