Types of Visual Task Boards
You can create guided Visual Task Boards, which are driven by data in your ServiceNow® instance. You can also create freeform boards that display a variety of information, or flexible boards, which combine both types.
There are three types of Visual Task Boards.
| Board type | Description |
|---|---|
| Freeform boards | Display all types of task records, including personal tasks. Members of freeform boards can add and remove task cards and lanes.Freeform boards are indicated with the Freeform board icon Image omitted: FreeformIcon.png Freeform board icon. |
| Flexible boards | Display tasks that match a filter against a particular table. Members of flexible boards can add task cards. Cards are removed automatically when the tasks no longer match the filter conditions. Members can define custom lanes, similar to a freeform board.Flexible boards are indicated with the Flexible board icon Image omitted: FlexibleIcon.png Flexible board icon. |
| Guided boards | Similar to flexible boards except that guided board lanes correspond to field values and cannot be edited in most cases.Guided boards are indicated with the Guided board icon Image omitted: GuidedIcon.png Guided board icon. |
