The card width is decreased in the compact view, the list of subtasks cannot be unfolded and the initials of the responsible employee are displayed instead of their full name.
Copy board link – click to copy the link to the board.
Open tasks in list – the option is only displayed if there is an active sprint. Click to open the list of the active sprint's tasks in a new tab.

note

The board interface is slightly different from the desktop version when it is opened from a mobile device:

The board UI actions are located in the action menu.
Only one column is displayed on the screen at a time; you can switch between the columns.
You cannot drag the cards between the columns.
Compact view option is not available.

You can specify general Scrum board widget configuration that will be applied to all Scrum boards on your instance.

To configure the Scrum board widget, complete the following steps:

In the Admin preferences, select the SDLC application.
In the navigator, open Portal Structure → Widget Instances.
Find an instance of the Header scrum board widget and open its form.
In the Schema option values field, specify the widget parameters in the JSON format. See the example below:
Schema option values
```
{
  "is_card_modal_enabled": false, 
  "is_blocking_available": false, 
  "is_drag_and_drop_available": false, 
}
```
- is_card_modal_enabled – set the value to true to open a modal window with task preview when a card is clicked on the board. If set to false, clicking the card opens the task record in a new tab. Note that the value of this parameter does not define the availability of task blocking in the Sprint Planning widget. Default value: true.
- is_blocking_available – set the value to true to allow blocking the cards on the board. Note that the value of this parameter does not define the availability of task blocking in the Sprint Planning widget. Default value: true.
- is_drag_and_drop_available – set the value to true to allow dragging the cards between the board columns. Note that the dragging is allowed only according to the active state model configured for this task type. If the separate state model is not configured or it is configured but inactive, the active SDLC Task state model is used instead, or, if there is no active state model for this table as well, all transitions are allowed. Default value: true.
Click Save.
