The Action Board View in BowTiePro provides a visual workflow-based layout for managing actions and tracking progress.
Unlike the Action List view, the board view organizes actions into workflow stages, making it easier to:
- Monitor action progress
- Identify overdue items
- Review operational workloads
- Track deficiencies
- Visualize workflow status
The board layout is especially useful during operational reviews and team management activities.
Accessing the Action Board View
To open the Action Board View:
- Log in to BowTiePro.
- Navigate to the top navigation menu.
- Select Actions.
- Open the Board view option.
The system will display actions grouped into workflow columns.
Understanding the Board Layout
The board view organizes actions into separate workflow stages or categories.
Each card on the board represents an individual action.
Depending on system configuration, columns may represent:
- Open actions
- In-progress actions
- Review stages
- Completed actions
- Deficiency-related actions
This visual structure helps users quickly understand overall operational status.
Understanding Action Cards
Each action card may display:
- Action description
- Assigned user
- Priority
