3.2px) * 0.68), 25px);font-style:normal;font-weight:700;letter-spacing:-0.02em;line-height:1.2\">Glossary and terms<\/h3><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">Here is a glossary explaining some key terms commonly encountered in the context of process management and coordination platforms:<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">Workspace: A workspace is an organizational unit that groups together related spaces based on a specific project, team, or topic. It helps users navigate and collaborate by centralizing all relevant information and tasks in one location.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">Space: A space within a workspace is a collection of cards that visually represent workflow and allow users to manage and track tasks. Spaces generally represent distinct projects or focus areas and are designed to encourage collaboration and task management in a digital setting.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">Card: A card is a fundamental building block within a space, symbolizing tasks or items that need to be tracked and managed. A card holds important information such as to-do lists, file attachments, deadlines, and conversation threads, allowing for a detailed overview of the task at hand.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">Card Status: Card statuses are identifiers that reflect the progress of a card within the workflow, such as \"To Do,\" \"In Progress,\" or \"Completed.\" These statuses help organize the work process and make it easier to track the progress of individual tasks.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">Card Activity Stream: This feature offers a real-time log of all actions and interactions associated with a card, including updates, comments, and attachment additions, among others. It serves as a chronological record of the card's progression and team activity.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">Card Blocker: A card blocker is an impediment that hinders the advancement of a task. Blockers can be local (affecting only a specific card), global (affecting multiple cards), or on-demand (created as needed). They provide a clear indication of obstacles within the workflow.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">Card Grouping: Card grouping involves sorting and organizing cards based on specific criteria. This can include grouping by status, assigned individual, due date, or other custom filters to aid in managing complex tasks.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">Card Issue: A card issue refers to a hindrance or problem that affects the management of a specific card. Issues are often highlighted in the interface with distinct colors to bring attention to overdue items or blocked tasks.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">Card Relation: Relationships between cards indicate dependencies and associations connecting various tasks. Relations can be of two types: parent-child (indicating hierarchical relationships) or sequential (next-previous relationships).<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">Card Statistics: This feature provides analytical insights into the performance and lifecycle of a card. It helps in visualizing various metrics such as completion times and activity summaries to understand the task's history and efficiency.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">Dates in Cards: Cards can have specific date markers that denote important moments such as the start and end of a task or a reminder. Types of dates include start dates, due dates, card-specific dates, and reminders.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">Completion Date: This represents the moment when a card's status is changed to \"Completed.\" It marks the end of a task within the space's workflow.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">Default Parent Card: In cases where a card has multiple parents, one is designated as the default parent card. This main parent card is usually the central reference point for the related child card, especially in views that visualize dependencies.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">Forecast Chart View: A forecast chart is a visual tool within a space that displays the progression of tasks. It uses historical data to predict completion timelines, helping in planning and tracking of future work.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">Gantt Chart View: This view displays time-dependent cards on a timeline, providing a visual overview of a project\u2019s duration and timeline. It's essential for managing complex, long-term projects and helps in visualizing overlapping tasks and dependencies.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">Grouping: Groupings organize related cards within a space into meaningful clusters based on a selected criterion. Groupings can vary widely\u2014from card statuses to due dates\u2014and help streamline the management of tasks.<\/p><p class=\"tekst-para wp-block-paragraph\">List: A type of custom field that enables users to categorize their cards efficiently. Each card can belong to only one list, which helps in organizing tasks and managing workflows categorically.<\/p><div style=\"height:120px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wp-block-column paskek-prawy spis is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:270px\"><div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-995f960e wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\"><div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"padding-left:16px\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-16931","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"blocksy_meta":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
