### Adding a New Board

**Note:** Boards can only be added and edited through the web version of JobNimbus.

- To add a new board, select the **+ button** at the top right of your page, then select **Add Board.**
- Select if you would like to **Import an existing [workflow](https://support.jobnimbus.com/what-is-a-workflow?hsLang=en) into your Board columns or create a new board from scratch.**  
  **![](https://support.jobnimbus.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-May-08-2026-08-52-10-4050-PM.png?width=670&height=357&name=image-png-May-08-2026-08-52-10-4050-PM.png)**
- Once here, you can:

- **Name** your Board, choose what **type of record** you would like the board to display (either Jobs or Job Work Orders) and select the **color **you would like it to be. 
- Select who you would like the board to be **visible to.** You can choose to make it visible to **All Team Members, Just Me, or [Specific Groups.](https://support.jobnimbus.com/what-are-groups?hsLang=en)** 
    - **Note:** If "Just Me" is selected, no other member of your team will be able to view the Board, even if they are assigned to the records within.
- Customize the **title of the Cards** that appear within each List by using the **Add Field dropdown**. 
    - You can create your own or choose from Contact/Job-specific fields, including [custom fields](https://support.jobnimbus.com/how-do-i-create-custom-fields?hsLang=en), as well as select financial records.
- In the Card Description fields, you can customize the **body of the Cards** that appear within each List. 
    - Add up to three lines of information for easy viewing. Similar to the title, you can utilize template fields, text, and financial totals to display the details you want.
- **Add Columns** to your board to display the cards in by clicking the **Add Column button.**

![](https://support.jobnimbus.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Apr-21-2026-04-50-19-5271-PM.png?width=670&height=85&name=image-png-Apr-21-2026-04-50-19-5271-PM.png)

- - **Add a Column name.** These are often correlated with a workflow status, i.e. New Lead, Signed Contract, Estimating, etc.

- - **Select the statuses to display in the column. **The statuses available in the dropdown are the same as those in your workflows. You can select one or multiple statuses to display. 
          - Keep in mind that the records displayed will be those that are in the corresponding workflow.
          - **Example:** A Job in Workflow A will only display if the column has that Job's current status in Workflow A selected. A Job in Workflow B would not be displayed.
    - **Add Totals** to the top of your column. These can display information such as the approved Estimate total to quickly reference the amount of potential revenue in a status.
    - **Add additional columns** by clicking the +Add Column button.

- **Filter** your Board with the following options: 
    - **Workflow/Type, Location, Subcontractor, Assignee, Sales Rep**
    -  You can learn more about how to filter Boards in [this article.](https://support.jobnimbus.com/how-do-i-use-board-filters?hsLang=en)

### Editing an Existing Board

- **Edit a Board** by clicking the three dots in the top right corner and choosing **Edit Board** from the menu. 
  
    - You will also have the option to Delete a Board entirely or Duplicate a Board.
      
          - Deleting a Board *will not *delete any Job or Work Order records from your account. Only the Board itself will be deleted.
- You can also click on the three dots on the Boards List for these same actions.
