Board Cards

There is a card on the board for each task. It contains major information about the task. The card interface depends on:

• the board settings: whether the badges, color markers and additional attributes.
• the card parameters: task type, whether the responsible is specified.

The cards are placed in the columns that correspond with their current state. The order of cards from top to bottom is defined by the task Rank.
