Manage swimlanes

Use swimlanes in Kanban view to organize tasks into horizontal sections, helping you categorize work and improve visibility across teams, priorities, or groups.

Who can use this feature?
  • Board Admins / Board Editors can manage swimlanes in the Kanban view.
  • App Admins / App Editors can manage swimlanes in the Kanban view only on Open boards.

Swimlanes divide your Kanban board into horizontal sections based on a selected field. This allows you to further categorize tasks within each column and gain better visibility across teams, priorities, or groups.

To create swimlanes:

  1. Click Group in the toolbar.
  2. Select a field for the Column (e.g., Status) to define your vertical columns.
  3. Select a field for the Swimlane (e.g., Assignee) to create horizontal lanes.
