Card Appearance and Content

Customize Card Content — Choose which work-item fields appear on each card: title, assignee, estimate, custom fields, and more. Customize Card Appearance — Control the size, layout, and visual style of cards on the board. Customize Card Colors — Assign colors to cards based on work-item field values or enumeration types to make item categories visually distinct.

​
Highlighting and Rules

Highlight Work Items by Rules — Define rules that highlight cards meeting specific conditions, such as items planned after their due date or items exceeding capacity.

​
Indicators and Bars

Customize Progress Bars — Configure the progress bar shown on each card to reflect estimate consumption, child-item completion, or other metrics. Customize Capacity Indicators — Tailor how the capacity bar and load indicators are displayed per swimlane.

​
Additional Visual Elements

Customize Tooltips — Define the content shown in the hover tooltip for cards, including additional fields not visible on the card face. Customize Board Appearance — Adjust board-level visual settings such as column widths and overall layout options.
Card customization layers: a work item feeds the card face, which combines card content, appearance, colors, and progress bar, plus a hover tooltip; swimlane capacity indicators and board appearance/highlighting rules apply at the board level
If you are new to Planningboard customization, begin with Customize Card Content — the fields you surface on the card face have the most impact on planning readability. Color coding and highlighting rules build naturally on top of that.
