How do I find the board customization in CLASSIC view?

[Josh Stillerman]

Directions for customizing boards in a classic business project say:

Access board settings

1. Go to your board, then select more (•••) > Board settings.

2. On the Board settings screen, select the desired tab (Columns, Swimlanes, etc).

However when I bring up the boards in my project I can not find this anywhere

Hi Josh - Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

Take a look at this and see if it helps you:

Thank you for this prompt answer.  It helps, but I was hoping to get to the board customization items described elsewhere in the docs.  Filters etc...

Maybe these are only for software projects ?  Or SCRUM or something ?

[John Funk]

Yeah, I don't think you can do that with Business projects. I NEVER use those. You can change the workflow underneath, which should change the columns for you, but not even sure how you would get to a filter that lies underneath. 

I would just do a software project - it will accomplish whatever you need to change. Next-gen will give you the same kind of restrictions as Business, so you probably want Classic.

Thank you for the clarification.
