      Adjust Column Width in Board View

      Ensure optimal visibility on construction tasks with ConstructionOnline's Column Width options for Board View

      BACKGROUND

      Designed as an interactive approach to construction task management, ConstructionOnline's Board View offers the same functionality as managing tasks in List View on a clean, visual "board" overview. Derived from the Kanban visual framework, Board View enables users to move construction tasks, which are displayed on "cards", through different stages or categories tailored to specific workflows. 

      To personalize the task management experience, construction pros have the ability to customize the style and format of their ConstructionOnline™ To Do Lists with card layout options, color themes, card density specifications, and column width adjustments. ConstructionOnline provides four column width presets that accommodate different amounts of information and ensure construction pros can efficiently visualize, organize, and track their task lists according to their specific needs.
