My cards view - why was it removed and is there an alternative?

[Olivier Kraft]

Hi,

Can you help me understand why Trello decided to drop the 'My cards' view from the app? I use multiple boards and need a consolidated overview of all my open cards ranked by due date. The search function doesn't let me rank my cards, so the new app makes it very difficult to track what's due over the next few days without looking through all boards.

I'm sure this must be a very common use case so I'm surprised it's no longer supported by the app.

Please advise.

Thanks!

Oli

It is accessible at https://trello.com/my/cards

Thanks Gaurav. Yes, it is still accessible via the browser. But it was removed from the app, which is how I access Trello the most.

Can you clarify the rationale behind removing it from the app? How can I get a consolidated and ranked list of all pending cards in the app?

Thanks!

You can get all your cards that are due today by searching for "@me due:day" (It is a default search option on both Android and iOS)

Thanks Gaurav. As I said in my messages, what I need is a list that (1) includes all open cards AND (2) ranks these cards according to their due date. This is exactly what the 'My Cards' view achieves in the browser (and what it used to do in the app as well). 

Using the search function doesn't allow me to rank cards. Also, it wouldn't show cards that are overdue or the ones with a due date coming up soon.

Please advise. It's a real mystery why you would remove this feature from the app (but keep it in the browser, which clearly shows that it serves a valid use case)

Hi @Gaurav Kataria did you have any further thoughts on this? Is it possible to pass this on to the product team and get some feedback on how they envision the user journey to work? Thanks

Hi, tagging product management on this ticket. It cannot be that Trello makes significant changes to the app, disrupting the UX, and then doesn't engage with user feedback. I do like the Trello design and would like to keep using it, but might start looking for alternative options if I cannot sort all my cards in a single place.

Thanks,

Oli

Hi @Gaurav Kataria , did you hear back from Product about this? Is there anyone I should contact?

Thanks,

Hi @Olivier Kraft - you can add a parameter to your search: "sort:due", which will sort your cards by due date as you describe. This will also then save as a "quick search", so when you revisit the search screen later, it will be at the top and can be accessed quickly. 

Hope this helps! Totally understand that changes to the user experience can be disruptive, very much appreciate you voicing your feedback - we take it all into account.

[Olivier Kraft]

Thanks @James Hurley , yes, it helps!

I had actually looked into ways to use parameters but couldn't find any documentation. Could you share the link please?

Thanks,

Oli
