How to Use Grid View in Pronnel
Pronnel understands that most professionals are familiar with tools like Excel or Google Sheets. To provide a similar experience, Pronnel offers a Grid View—a tabular format for viewing and managing your board data with ease and familiarity.
Accessing Grid View
When you open a board in Pronnel, you may not always start in Grid view. If it's not the default view, so you can change the view.
Creating a New Grid View
Click the “+” button at the top of your board to create a new Grid View. You can then rename this view and save it for specific needs or teams.
Applying Filters and Sorting
Creating multiple Grid views comes in handy when you need to apply filters to your data. With Grid views, you can easily use filters and sorting per your needs. Even if you revisit the board later, the Grid view will retain your previously applied filters and sorting, ensuring you see the same data.
Customizing Columns
Click on the “Columns” button to select or deselect attributes. You can drag and drop to reorder them. If the view is shared publicly, other members will see the same arrangement.
Sharing Grid Views
If you're an admin, you can share your grid view, so that your teammates can access the same filtered and sorted layout.
Editing Data Inline
Click directly on any cell in the Grid to edit it. It works just like a spreadsheet, allowing for quick changes and updates.
Creating New Items
To create new items in Grid view, you have a few options. Click on the "Add Item" button, and a popup will appear, allowing you to create a new item.
Alternatively, you can create a new item in a specific position on the Grid by clicking the plus sign button that appears when hovering over an item. This adds a new row below the selected item, where you can enter all the necessary information.
Additionally, at the bottom of the Grid, you'll always find an empty row that serves as another convenient way to create new items.
Viewing Item Details
Hover over the item title and click “Open” to see more details. Use the expand button to switch to full-screen view.
Grouping Data
Use the “Group By” option to organize data by Assignee, Status, Priority, or any dropdown field. This improves clarity and categorization of your data.
