What does the Lane Type setting control?

You can set a lane type for each of your board columns. There are 4 types available:

• Backlog / Inventory
• Queue / Waiting
• In progress
• Done

You will need to apply the appropriate lane types to your columns in order to use the Time Tracking in a truly seamless way. Timers will start automatically for tasks moved to an “In Progress” type of a lane, and stop on their own upon a task move to any other lane type.

The Done lane type determines the due date countdown to not be shown on cards. We assume you’re no longer worried about a due date for items that you are done with. If your process requires the countdown to be shown, make sure to set your Done column to either the “Backlog / Inventory” or “Queue / Waiting” lane type.

Lane types also play a role in the Time in stage Power-Up - time spent in columns of the same lane type will get the same color on the Time in stage graphic.

You can edit your columns’ Lane Types in board Settings - Board Editor - using the pencil icon under each column.
