Creating a work board
Last updated: October 24, 2026
What it does
Create a work board to track a team’s or the whole organisation’s tasks in columns you define. Create Board opens a short form.
| Field | What it takes |
|---|---|
| Title | The board’s name |
| Description | Optional. The board’s purpose |
| Team | Org-wide board, or the team the board belongs to |
- The team decides who can change the board later. A team leader and above can change any board, and a team’s manager can change that team’s boards. Editing and deleting a work board has the rest.
- An org-wide board belongs to no team, so only a team leader and above can change it.
- A team-owned board can be the team’s default. Lucrii places new tasks owned by that team on it. The default-board box shows only once you choose a team.
- A board starts with four mapped columns. New sets a task to Assigned, In Progress to In Progress, On Hold to On Hold and Done to Completed. A card dropped on Done is completed. Columns and cards covers renaming, reordering and removing columns.
Before you start
- Create Board appears for a team leader and above, and for anyone who manages at least one team.
- If you manage a team but do not hold the team-leader role, you must choose a team. Lucrii does not offer you Org-wide board.
- A board’s Title can be up to 255 characters, and its Description up to 10,000.
How to use it
- Open Work Boards and select Create Board.
- Give the board a Title.
- Write a Description if the board’s purpose needs explaining.
- Choose Org-wide board, or pick the team that owns it.
- Tick the default-board box if new tasks for that team belong here.
- Select Create.
Create stays at the top of the page, and leaving with unsaved changes opens Discard Changes, as Creating a contact describes.
Troubleshooting
The page says “The list of teams could not be loaded.” under the Team picker. Lucrii cannot read your organisation’s teams right now. Try again shortly.
