Hello,
I have a team-managed project and I want to hide the Backlog section on the board so that the board looks less complicated. How do I do this? Please help.
Attaching the view of my current board.
Hi @HQRAZAHS , thanks for your post.
It should be possible to collapse the column you don't want to see, like this https://www.loom.com/share/674c31c2b48f4d7e92c97286f68be491?sid=0b32c131-b0be-4893-aab3-c2b575ee35b1 .
Does that help you at all?
Best wishes
@Valerie Knapp that's a good workaround but I doubt if it will work cuz my manager strictly do not want the backlog to be displayed. Is there a possibility?
Hello @HQRAZAHS
Can you provide more information about the problem you are trying to solve? I understand that you believe hiding the column is the solution. However if we have a better understanding of the actual problem we may be able to suggest a better solution.
How is having that column presence "complicating" the board?
Does you manager not want people to be able to see the issues that are in the Backlog status? Are there any people that should be able to see those issues?
Also, what type of project does this concern? Get that information from the View All Projects page under the Projects menu.
You can add or remove columns by going to Board settings > Layout > Columns.
@PM/이유경
Based the image provided the project is a Business project. The Board Settings > Layout > Columns option doesn't exist for such projects.
@Trudy P Claspill its the team-managed project. The backlog often contains a large number of issues or tickets, many of which are not immediately actionable. Displaying all of them on the board can clutter the interface, making it harder for team members to focus on current priorities. By hiding the backlog, the board remains clean, simple, and easier to navigate—allowing the team to concentrate on the tasks that are actively being worked on during the sprint or current workflow phase.
There should be a place where you can configure board settings.In the left-hand menu, under the Project Board section, if you click the "..." (more options), is there a settings menu?
Here is the screenshot as you requested
@Trudy P Claspill Any advise further please?
For a Business project the options for board configuration are limited.
From Project Settings these are the available options. As you can see, there is not Board option.
And these are the only options available from the board view itself.
The settings you are thinking of are available only for boards created with Software projects, or boards created from Saved Filters.
