How the kanban board works

A quick walkthrough of the free RenoSheets kanban board — from a fresh empty board to a project you can hand off.

Overview

The board is four columns — Planning · Quoted · In Progress · Done — and a stack of cards. Move a card between columns with the ← → arrows on the card, or drag it up and down to reorder within its column. Every card holds a task name, optional colour, due date, and an attached materials sheet from any calculator. Everything is stored in your own browser — no account, no server, no limits.

    Attach a saved materials sheet

    Once you have saved your calculated sheets from the calculators you can attach them to each task within the project planner. Just click "Import from a saved sheet" from within your task and select the sheet. The materials list will then appear within that task.
