Here's an example dashboard view that aggregates tasks from multiple boards into one view. You can click through from the numbers to see the individual cards. You can learn more about this view from the [Tour page](https://screenful.com/tour/task-status-screen/).

Hi Andrii,

that can be easily achieved with the Butler Power-Up.

I once create a set of workflows for the Butler Power-Up to channel multiple ToDo/Doing/Done boards into one master board.

The setup can also be done with the Butler Power-Up, but a you will need one of its paid plans in order to implement it.

I have a number of resources for this on my website, here's one example [article](https://inspiriting.biz/cross-board-functionality-in-trello/).

Is there a reason why they're on separate boards? For example, you could combine them all into a single board, then use labels to separate them. The board filter would allow you to view cards with a given label:

<https://help.trello.com/article/787-filtering-cards-on-a-board>

This is a useful pattern in Trello to avoid having to click into a bunch of different boards.

body: [@Iain Dooley](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1416112) they are on separate borads because each bords contains cards for differents projects.


author: Iain Dooley
body: [@Andrii K](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2779141) If they don't have separate access requirements and the cards don't go through different stages of work trying using labels to designate different projects and filtering the board by label to view each project individually.


author: Andrii K
body: [@Iain Dooley](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1416112) So the only way is ti use labels or hashtags?


author: Iain Dooley
body: [@Andrii K](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2779141) yep, labels. There's no hashtags as such in Trello although the iOS board filter does use the hash symbol to search based on label, and you can use the hash symbol to add labels to cards created by email.

But I digress ...

If you want to see all the cards at once that are on multiple boards without implementing something via the API or synching cards with Unito or something like, then the best way to go is to just have one board for all your tasks and label cards to designate that they're part of different projects.

You can also use tools like Placker for example which is a sophisticated Gantt charting tool (and does other things too) that will give you a view of all cards in a given list across all boards, but you have to pay extra for it.

Using a single board with labels gives you what you need in an uncomplicated fashion at no extra cost.


author: Andrii K
body: [@Iain Dooley](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1416112) for me is important to use different borads for different projects.

It would be ideal if each project were on a separate board and there would be another board where cards from different projects would be collected in the appropriate groups "to do", "doing" \& @"done".


author: Iain Dooley
body: [@Andrii K](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2779141) maybe the Unito power up will do what you need:

body: Hi [@Andrii K](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/2779141) you can view all of the cards that you have been assigned or added yourself to, and sort them by board or due date by going to your cards page. To do this just click on your name in the Trello header and select "Cards" or go to <https://trello.com/your/cards>

Please let me know if this helps.

Thanks,

Jodi

I have 4 bards with same structure - "to do", "doing", "done".

So, I need to see all cards from 3 boards from "doing" columns at one place.
