The Board View is really popular thanks to two features: 1) the ability to drag&drop the cards to the different statuses, stages, etc... and for the 'group by' configuration, which enables you to select up to 2 fields for this purpose, depending on what you are working on. This view also includes a counter that can be used to provide you the total records of a single column or its sum, which is especially useful in the sales process.
Edition Qualifier: The Board View is available in all FreeAgent Editions.
User Permissions: No special permissions are required to use the Board View.

Customizing the Board view will allow you to see the information about your apps just in the way you need it. This view is great to obtain a high-level detail of the records since they are shown as cards. Each card is displayed in its corresponding column according to the field selected in 'group by'.
Note: You will need to select a field to group by in the Group tab, in the Filter, Sort & More dropdown to create a Board view.
