### Boards on Web

#### Columns

**Note**: To edit a board, you will need an **Admin Access Profile**. An Admin will need to **go to Team under the Admin Settings** to change this for users.

- The sections within a Board are called **Columns.** The [Status(es)](https://support.jobnimbus.com/what-are-statuses?hsLang=en) you assign to each Column will determine what Jobs are visible.
- To configure a Column, select the **three dots** at the top of the Board you are viewing and click **Edit**.
- Then, **scroll down to the Columns section.** Within the Edit window, you can:

![](https://support.jobnimbus.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Apr-28-2026-09-23-57-2229-PM.png?width=670&height=44&name=image-png-Apr-28-2026-09-23-57-2229-PM.png)

1. **Click and drag**
2. **Name** your List. 
     1. Typically, this coincides with the **Status** that is associated with it, so you can easily see which Contacts or Jobs are currently assigned to that Status. Whatever makes the most sense to you is the right way to name a List.
3. **Assign a Status** to your List.  
     1. You'll see the options formatted as "\[Workflow\] - \[Status\]". This will dictate what Contacts or Jobs show up under the List, as previously mentioned. 
4. **Add Totals** shows the total amount between the visible Jobs' **Estimate Total, Invoice Total, Outstanding Invoice Total, Parent Estimate Total, Parent Invoice Total, or Parent Outstanding Invoice Total.** You may apply more than one of these options at a time.  
     1. **Note:** Only *approved Estimates* will be counted toward the combined "Estimate Total" dollar amount shown. 
     2. These Totals will then show at the top of the List on your Board.
   ![](https://support.jobnimbus.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Apr-28-2026-09-38-10-3588-PM.png?width=253&height=135&name=image-png-Apr-28-2026-09-38-10-3588-PM.png)
5. **Sort** the List to your liking**.** 
     1. You can choose from a variety of ways to sort the items in either ascending or descending order.

- Click **Save **at the bottom of the window to save your changes. 

**List Totals** will only display if the user viewing the Board has [permission](https://support.jobnimbus.com/can-i-give-my-team-members-different-access-permission-in-jobnimbus?hsLang=en) to see that information. Team members whose [Access Profile](https://support.jobnimbus.com/can-i-give-my-team-members-different-access-permissions-in-jobnimbus?hsLang=en) sets Estimates or Invoices to **No Access** won't see the matching column Totals. Any other access level shows them, even with **Hide Cost** checked.

#### Cards

- The white boxes that you see under each List are called **Cards.** They contain your Job information in the way you have customized it.
- You can [edit the Board](https://support.jobnimbus.com/how-do-i-add-or-edit-a-board?hsLang=en#edit) to configure the properties as outlined below:
- You can select what information to display on your card in the **Add Field** dropdown menus next to the Title and Description fields. The card preview on the right will show you how that information will look when it is displayed on the card.
  
  ![](https://support.jobnimbus.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-May-01-2026-06-36-06-1565-PM.png?width=670&height=250&name=image-png-May-01-2026-06-36-06-1565-PM.png)
  
  Estimate and Invoice amounts added to a Card's Title or Description show to everyone who can view the Board. To hide them, use a separate Board that's visible only to certain people. Find out more on how to do this here: [How Do I Make a Board Visible Only to Certain People?](https://support.jobnimbus.com/how-do-i-make-a-board-visible-only-to-certain-people?hsLang=en)

- The row at the very bottom of a Card cannot be adjusted. It contains the following data by default, in order from left to right: 
    - The number of days the Job has been in its **current Status.**
    - How many **Tasks** have been completed out of the number that is currently assigned. 
    - The **number of Attachments** that have been uploaded to the Contact.
    - With [Contact or Job Scheduling](https://support.jobnimbus.com/how-do-i-use-record-scheduling?hsLang=en), the record's **due date** will appear here.
    - The **picture or initials** of the users assigned to the record, including:  
          - **Assignees (sorted by last name)**
          - **Sales rep**
          - **Subcontractors (sorted by last name)**

- - You can hover over the assigned users on the card to show a full list of all the users assigned to the record.
