Tip – Why use the board
The board view in eWay-CRM Online offers a clear and interactive way to manage your data, allowing for easy grouping, filtering, and sorting of items.
 
It supports drag-and-drop functionality for quick status updates and visualizes the company’s pipeline effectively.
 
Additionally, it allows customization of card fields and provides real-time aggregation of data, making project and task management more efficient.
 
If you want to work with standard lists, go to Create Grid Reports.

 

 
If you open any module in eWay-CRM Online, you can switch between the board view and the list views. Some modules, such as Deals, Projects, or Tasks, come with the board view by default. Others, such as Contacts, allow you to activate them using this button.
