Viewing cards
Introduction
Mingle gives you many different options for grouping and sorting cards according to the information you need to know.
There are a number of ways you can view cards
- in a list (default view). This view simply lists cards and is similar to Microsoft Excel. From here you can add or remove columns that represent the card properties. Click on column names to re-sort the list according to the column value.
- in a grid. This lets you view cards as you would physically view index cards on a whiteboard. You can group cards by a selected card property and color cards by a second property. Click and drag cards to update the selected property value.
- in a tree.
- in a hierarchy.
If you filter the All tab to match the criteria of an existing custom tab, Mingle automatically redirects you to the custom tab. Because Mingle remembers tab positions, when you next click the All tab, you'll be redirected to the custom tab. For example, if you have a Bugs tab configured which shows cards of type=bug. If you clicked on the All tab and filtered the list by type=bug, Mingle directs you to the custom Bugs tab. Now any time you click the All tab, Mingle will take you to the Bugs tab. In this case, you must reset the card view to return to the All tab.
Mingle always remembers any changes you make to card views or filters within a tab. For example, say you're working within the All tab and you change the view from List view to Grid view, and select a few card filters. If you click on another tab, and then later click back on the All tab, it will appear as you left it with the view and filters intact until you reset the view.
This only applies to your current login session. While you're logged in, any changes other users make will not affect how cards appear to you. When you log out (or if Mingle logs you out), Mingle 'forgets' the way you left card views and resets views and filters to the defaults for each tab.
