Once you have added the Kanban Board web part to a SharePoint site page, you can create a new board by choosing a quick board, an existing SharePoint list, or a template (if available).

The web part pulls data from a SharePoint task list and visualizes it as a classic Kanban board. If you already have a SharePoint list with the required data for your new board, you can [configure a board for an existing list.](https://docs.virtosoftware.com/docs/kanban-board-on-premises/virto-kanban-board-web-part-adjustment/three-ways-to-set-up-a-new-board/create-a-board-from-an-existing-sharepoint-list/index.md) If you don’t have such a list, select **"Quick Board."** In this case, the web part will automatically create the board and an appropriate SharePoint task list.

To create a quick board, enter the board name (you can customize the board later). A list with the same name will be created automatically. Once you’ve entered the name, click **"Create new board."**
