How to Add a Column to Your Notion Board View
Step 1: Open Your Notion Board View
To start, you'll need to open the board view in Notion where you want to add a new column. This could be within a project, workspace, or even a personal space. The board view should feature existing columns with cards categorized under them.
Step 2: Find the Grouping Property
Navigate to your database settings, select "Group", and then identify the property that is grouping the Kanban.
Step 3: Add a New Column
Now that you understand which property controls the columns in the board view, open any item in your database to locate this grouping property.
To add a new column in the board view, simply create another option within this property.
Example: adding "Canceled" to a status property that already has "Not started", "In progress" & "Done".
That's it! You've just added a new column to your board view. Remember, you can manage which columns to display using the "Group" feature in the database settings.
Step 4: Start Adding Cards
Once your new column is added, you can start adding cards to it. These cards can be new tasks generated within Notion or existing cards that you can drag from other columns.
To add a new card, click on the "+ Create a new page" button in the column. Follow the prompts to add the necessary information into the card. Organize, categorize and arrange your tasks in the manner that best suits your workflow!
