Card view page - controls highlighted

Adding comments

When you open an individual card, you can add comments.

Updating the card description

If you don't yet have a card description, Mingle displays an Add description link which you can click to include a card description. Otherwise click the Edit link to update an existing description. From here you can format the description, add links and attach graphics and documents.

Updating tags

Click the Add tags link to apply new tags. Or if there are existing tags, you can click the Edit tags link to add or remove tags. You can quickly remove a tag by clicking on the cross next to the tag. See Working with tags for details.

Applying transitions

If a card matches the card property values in a transition, one or more transition links display on the card (in the example above, there is a transition called Start User Story). Click the transition link to update the card's status. See Using transitions for details.

Updating card properties

You can simply click on a card property value to select a new value for the property. Depending on the property type, you will be presented with the allowable values or asked to type in a new value. From here you can create new card property values for managed list properties by selecting the New value... link if the property is unlocked.

Add a card to a tree

You can add a card to a tree or change it's parent in the tree by assigning a parent card id to a relationship property. These properties are displayed in a box with the name of the corresponding card tree as a title.

Updating cards in bulk

When viewing cards in Mingle's List view, you can select multiple cards and perform bulk actions on them. See Updating cards in bulk for details.
