- [views and filters](https://docs.virtosoftware.com/docs/kanban-board-on-premises/kanban-board-settings/board-setup/views-and-filters/index.md)

## Pages
- [Columns](https://docs.virtosoftware.com/docs/kanban-board-on-premises/kanban-board-settings/board-setup/columns/index.md) — Columns come from a choice field of the source list and visualise the workflow of a board.
- [Sorting](https://docs.virtosoftware.com/docs/kanban-board-on-premises/kanban-board-settings/board-setup/sorting/index.md) — Change the order of tasks inside a column or a row; sorting follows the chosen view by default.
- [Swimlanes](https://docs.virtosoftware.com/docs/kanban-board-on-premises/kanban-board-settings/board-setup/swimlanes/index.md) — Swimlanes group cards horizontally, adding a second dimension to the board.
- [Views and filters](https://docs.virtosoftware.com/docs/kanban-board-on-premises/kanban-board-settings/board-setup/views-and-filters/index.md) — Choose the default view — board or charts — and pick a SharePoint list view per list to filter tasks.
