# Understanding the Kanban View of Tasks

This article introduces the Kanban view in the Tasks section of ClearCRM, helping users visualize and manage their workflow efficiently.

## Pathway:

**Projects > Tasks**

## What Is the Kanban View?

The Kanban view in ClearCRM is a visual task management layout where tasks are displayed as cards sorted into vertical columns (called "tickets") based on their status. It's an intuitive way to track task progress through various stages of a project at a glance.

## Default Columns (Tickets)

By default, the Kanban layout displays tasks grouped by these statuses:

-   **Not Started**
    
-   **In Progress**
    
-   **Testing**
    
-   **Awaiting Feedback**
    
-   **Complete**
    

Each column shows how many tasks it contains.

## Kanban Cards

Each task is represented as a card that includes:

-   **Task Title**
    
-   **Related To** (e.g., associated Project or Lead)
    
-   **Status Label**
    
-   **Priority Tag**
    
-   **Due Date**
    
-   **Assignee Icon**
    
-   **Checklist Progress, Comments, and Attachments Count**
    

Clicking a name of the card opens the **Task Details** pop-up, where users can view or update task information.

## Drag and Drop Functionality

You can easily **drag a card from one column to another** to update its status instantly — a quick way to reflect workflow changes without opening the full task view.
