Combine your boards into Board Groups you manage as one

Load the boards you choose into one Board Group, then plan, filter, and report across them.

Resumen rápido

Board Groups

Every board you choose, working together in one place. Here is what that gives you:

  • Many boards, one workspace. Load the boards you choose into a single workspace, where each card keeps a tag for the board it came from.
  • Merge or keep separate. Merge lists that share a name into single columns, or keep every board apart — whichever suits the work.
  • Drag to move or mirror. Drag cards between boards to move, copy, or mirror them with a synced copy that stays matched in both places.
  • Four views across every board. Open the group in Board, Gantt, Planner, or Report view to plan, filter, and report across every board at once.

Board Groups

Combine any boards into Board Groups

Pick the boards you want and load them into one group. Every card keeps a tag for the board it came from, so nothing loses its home, and a group holds as many boards as you need.

Choose how the boards line up. The combine view merges lists that share a name, so a shared stage like In review reads as one column; the split view keeps each board as its own column. You get a single workspace to plan across instead of opening each board in turn.

Three boards combine into one Placker board group, where each card keeps a label in its source board's colour.

Card Mirroring

Move and mirror work without leaving the group

With the boards lined up in one workspace, you can move cards between them. Drag a card from one board to another inside the group, and you choose whether to move it, copy it, or keep a synced mirror that stays matched in both places. Change a mirrored card on one board and the copy on the other updates with it.

You reshape where work lives as priorities shift, without exporting cards or building them again on another board.

Group views

See the group in any board view

Moving single cards is one thing; seeing the whole group at once is another. Open a group in Board, Gantt, Planner, or Report, and the same set of boards becomes a kanban, a timeline, a calendar, or a metrics dashboard. The views you already use on a single board now run across every board in the group.

Deadlines from every project land on one timeline, and the same boards feed a shared calendar and roll their metrics into one place. A department lead sees where projects overlap and which ones are slipping from one screen, instead of opening each board and piecing the picture together by hand.

Personal filters

Just your work, across every board

That one screen is the manager's view; each person can pull their own. Cards sit on the board where the work lives, so one person's tasks spread across many boards. Filter a group to assigned to me and it collapses to just your cards, drawn from every board in the group and updated as work is assigned and finished.

Nobody keeps a personal copy, and the source boards stay intact. Each member can set My Scope per board to show all cards, none, or only their own, so the same group gives everyone their own slice.

A group board filtered to Assigned to Me shows only that member's cards, from three different source boards.

Saved groups

Save the setup once and reopen it by name

That scope, and everything else you arrange, stays with the group. A group saves more than a list of boards: the name, the board order, and the scope you set are kept together, so a group like My Work, Q4 Initiatives, or Client A holds the whole context you built, not just which boards are in it.

Keep as many groups as the work needs, personal or shared with your team, and reopen any of them from the overview in one click. Something you come back to often, like a weekly review or a program you run each quarter, becomes a saved view you step into instead of rebuilding it each time.

Picking a saved group by name from the Board groups menu reopens that group's board.

Cómo funciona

Create a Board Group from the overview, set its scope and order, switch views and filter across boards, then save the group to reuse it.

  1. 1

    Add a group from the board overview

    On the overview, choose New group, pick the boards to include, name the group, and choose Add group. The boards load together in one workspace.

  2. 2

    Set the scope and order

    Add or remove boards from the scope bar, and drag boards to set their order in the group. Each member can set My Scope per board to all cards, none, or only theirs.

  3. 3

    Switch views and filter

    Open the group in Board, Gantt, Planner, or Report, then apply a cross-board filter such as assigned to me, a label, a due date, or a member. The filter runs across every board in the group.

Casos de uso

Where teams use Board Groups to plan and report across several boards at once.

  • Marketing agency

    Eight client accounts, each on its own board, so a status check means opening eight boards. Load them into one group and review every client from a single board.

  • Construction firm

    A portfolio manager runs three project boards and stitches progress together by hand for the weekly review. Group the three and open it in Report to roll up progress and deadlines across every site at once.

  • Software team

    A team's work lives across sprint, backlog, and bug boards, so nowhere shows it all. Keep them as one home-base group filtered to the team's own cards, and start each standup from one view.

  • Individual across projects

    You work across several teams' boards, and your tasks scatter across all of them. Create one group of your boards, filter to 'assigned to me,' and everything on your plate shows up in one place.

Tips & Best Practices

Practical advice to get the most out of your workflow

Give grouped boards matching list names so the combine view merges cleanly

The combine view stacks lists that share a name into one column. Use the same stage names across the boards you group, such as In review on every board, and the merged view reads as tidy shared columns instead of a row of near duplicates.

Pick combine or split view based on how alike the boards are

Use the combine view when the boards run the same stages and you want one merged flow. Switch to split view when each board has its own process and you would rather see them side by side. Matching the view to the boards keeps a big group readable.

Put the group on a Gantt to find the program's critical path

Open a Board Group on the Gantt to land every project's deadlines on one timeline, then check the Critical path to see which tasks across the whole program cannot slip without moving the finish date.

Lean on the board tag to keep a merged group readable

Every card in a group keeps a tag for the board it came from. Use that tag to filter the merged view down to one project, or to color code cards by board, so a busy combined view stays easy to scan.
