With attribute visibility you decide which attributes show on your cards, in what order, and whether an attribute still shows when it is empty. Default attributes, like the description, status and plan dates, now work the same way as your custom attributes.
Cards with many attributes can get crowded, and it was not always clear why an attribute was missing. Now you can keep only what your team uses in view, put the most important attributes at the top, and hide the rest.
Who is it for
Anyone who works in Placker cards, and especially teams with many default and custom attributes, or attributes that are often left empty.
Set visibility from a card
Open any card. Next to the attributes, click Visibility.
Pick a location. Choose Main area for text attributes like the description, or Side attributes for the attributes in the right column of the card.
Change the order. Drag attributes in the Shown list to put them in the order you want.
Show or hide an attribute. Click the eye icon to move an attribute between Shown and Hidden.
Decide what happens when it is empty. Click the dot to choose whether the attribute still shows when it has no value.
Find an attribute quickly. Use Search to find an attribute by name.
Your changes are saved in the board settings, so they apply to every card on the board for everyone, not just the card you opened.
Set visibility from the board settings
You can manage the same settings from the board settings. From the Visibility menu, click Board settings to add, edit, delete.
Each location has a Shown and a Hidden list. Attributes set as shown are always displayed in card overviews. Attributes set as hidden still affect your cards, for example in filtering and sorting, but they are not shown in card overviews.
From here you can also add new attributes with Add attribute, change an attribute with Edit, and use Show all to see every hidden attribute. Default attributes are marked with a DEFAULT tag.
Where your settings apply
The order and visibility you set are used in the card overview and in the Gantt sidebar.
Boards you have not changed keep the attributes they showed before, so nothing disappears from your cards.
Good to know
Main area and Side attributes are separate. They hold different attribute types, so you cannot move an attribute from one location to the other.
Empty attributes are still reachable. If an attribute is set to hide when empty, click Show empty attributes on the card to see it and fill it in.
