How to create a card from a template on your calendar?
Asked by Shelly Begarowicz:

On a board in calendar view why can't we add cards from templates we've created on that board?


Answers:
author: Mike
body: Hi Shelly,

For right now, we felt that adding the Template UI to the Calendar view was a little too cluttered, so the Templates are only possible on the regular board view, but I'll voice your support for adding that in the future!

comments: author: Shelly Begarowicz
body: Thank you for responding and considering this change.

I really don't think adding one drop-down option or an icon to use a template clutters things at all. Instead it VASTLY increases the functionality of the calendar. The whole point of making cards on the calendar is to not have to shift your mind out of that space. As is, you have to turn the calendar off, find the right list, create the card, remember the date you wanted it on, etc. Massive workflow/train-of-though interrupt.

Thanks again for considering the change.

Adding Guest to Business Account
Asked by Krissy Daily:

I need to add a Guest to my board and only see how to add an Observer. I want a Guest as they can still edit, move cards, etc. Any ideas on how to do this?


Answers:
author: Iain Dooley
body: [@Krissy Daily](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3645067) you just invite them as a member, you can do so via email but they will need to create a Trello account in order to login and interact with the board. If they are a member of more than one board in a business class team, then they will be a multi board guest which you will need to pay for.

Butler to remove all labels of a specific colour from a card
Asked by chigh:

On some boards, we use the colour of labels as further categorization, meaning we can have labels with the same colour, but they mean something slightly different. How can we get Butler, either by a rule or button remove, for example, all "green" labels? Or are we currently looking at having to specify each label in the rule or button action?


Answers:
author: Iain Dooley
body: [@chigh](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3644699) there's no "for each label" action in Butler, and there's no "remove all labels" with a filter so I think this isn't possible. Here's a Trellinator command that would do it:

Trello Power-Ups
Asked by Ori Shilon:

Hi,

I found it very tiring to set up the power-ups every time I create a new board (I have more than 10 power-ups on each board that are the same on each board).

There is an option to set a default Power-Ups every time I create a new board?

I have a Bussines Class account in Trello.

Thanks,

Ori.


Answers:
author: Mirek
body: Hi [@Ori Shilon](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3644629) ,

What about creating a "template board", adding 10 power-ups to it and and every time you need a new one simply copy the board from the template?

comments: author: Ori Shilon
body: Hi [@Mirek](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/781521)

Thanks for the idea, I will use it.

I thought maybe there is an option also to add it automatically to all my current boards.


author: Mirek
body: I am afraid not (power ups so far are handled on per-board basis), but if I find a way or figure out something I would let you know :)

Excel
Asked by geoff.wright:

Hi All

Newbie here....

I have an excel sheet as an attachment and wondering if there is a way to having it open the master copy directly in Excel when clicking the little arrow after the filename rather than it simply downloading, that way when I save it is saved in the original location.  

I seem to be getting lots of versions of the same file saved in my download folder and the master copy is not updating unless I re upload

Am I missing something here

TIA

Geoff


Answers:
author: Jack Brickey
body: You cannot edit directly "in" Trello. If it is an attachment the you must download. Rather than attaching the file consider adding a link to the original file (google docs or O365, share point, etc). When the user clicks the link they will be taken to the source in a new tab where it can be edited and saved in the shared location. This, IMO, is much better than an attachment.

Thanks for that but what must sound like a real dumb question...

You say link but looking at the options on the right-hand side of a card I dont see a "link" option so ?????

The icon on the left of the file name already says "LINK"

<br />

please explain

Geoff


author: Jack Brickey
body: sorry for not being clear. I didn't mean link as a action. I should have said add an html URL link to the file. You will need to store the file in some shared location that is accessible to the Trello board users.


author: geoff.wright
body: Now I am being the dumb one

The file is in a shared folder B:\\project and it is called 5-things.xls

So what do I add where on my Card


author: Jack Brickey
body: if you were to share a link to the file in an email that a user could click on then you would simply do the very same thing here. The problem w/ a network drive is that not everyone may be able to access that same drive. The better way is to have the files on some form of cloud storage solution, e.g. Sharepoint, Google Docs, Dropbox, O365 One Drive, etc. Assuming this is associated with your company, I would recommend chatting w/ your IT group about network storage options are in place.

How to send a link with '&'?
Asked by ???????? ??????:

Dear community,

I setup the integration via API with enterprise ERP system. We need a link to initial document in our ERP-system in the Trello card. The link has a template like this: [https://server.com/prod-web/?page=90375\&company=company\&dc=0](https://navsrv.mtl.ru/mtlprod-web/?page=90375&company=MTL&dc=0)

As you see, the link contains '\&'. When I send the link via [REST-API](https://developers.trello.com/reference#cardsidattachments-1), only the part [https://server.com/prod-web/?page=90375](https://navsrv.mtl.ru/mtlprod-web/?page=90375&company=MTL&dc=0) is saved in the card. The rest is handled as method parameter.

Is there a way to send the parameters as a JSON?  
Or is there any syntaxis to show that the full link is just one parameter?

Kind regards,  
Vladimir

Butler: distinguish a letter from a number
Asked by Gonzalo Zapata:

Hi,

I have eleven cards with number starting names in a board and I want to change only this cards.

Command I?m looking for: \`when custom field "STATUS" is set in a card with a name starting with a "number" instead a letter, for each card linked in the attachments ...\`

What is the correct way to write the command how expect a {number} an not any character {\*}?

If does not exist, any idea how to make it work.


Answers:
author: Iain Dooley
body: [@Gonzalo Zapata](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/1173863) there's an (as yet) unpublished feature that allows you to use regular expressions, so this would for example match only cards that had a name starting with a number:

when custom field "STATUS" is set in a card a card with a name containing "regex:/\^\[0-9\]+.\*/" for each card linked in the attachments ... etc.

HI! I am new to this and it is a helps very much, but i have a concern:<
Asked by miisss xia:

Trello helps so much and is very handy, easy to organize and this is what i am exactly looking for to have, and to enjoy it more i wanted to change the background to my own edited backgrounds, i even searched how though i already saw how just to make sure, but I can't click the +custom box, i can click the other options like the colors and pictures already ready for trello users but i can't click/open/use the custom one.  
what am i going to do?

Here is more information:

author: Deepanshu Natani
body: Hi [@miisss xia](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3642526)

In order to personalize your board by adding your custom background, you need to upgrade to Business Class.

If you are using free plan, you wont be able to do that.

author: Mirek
body: The Idea of the downloader is that you get JSON (which contains information about attachments) and you download via the tool from the second link for example (or your own (if you parse URLs) - for me the link is working so not sure what is wrong on your side. Maybe you can try copy paste it or use different browser.

2) "A" invited "B" to join this board, now "X" can be seen by only "A" and "B".

3) "A" create Team Board "Y" , now "Y" can be see/edit by "A" , "A-1" , "A-2".

Use Trello to cycle between Calendar and Boards
Asked by Jerry Coulter:

I'm new to Trello so I apologize if this has been answered but I am unsure of the terminology.

I would like to use Trello to schedule caterings within the calendar. Can Trello automatically cycle the view between a calendar view and a board.

Ideally, the daily events would show outgoing orders, and it would automatically switch to the other important daily statistics.

Thanks for the help.


Answers:
author: Jireh
body: Hi Jerry,

Are you using the Calendar Power-Up? If you add a date to a card, it will show up in the Calendar Power-Up, giving you an easy way to see your cards based on their date.

Inseccure board, a client can access
Asked by ccdogtraining121:

I have set up trello very new to it, i invited my client to her two boards, I work as a VA. and she was able to access everything, including my private boards and my other clients. I have gone to the access and my email is the only one and it says that they are team for the boards I invited her on.

This is quite a bad breach for me and if I can do this mistakenly then it is quite a bad situation for other VA.

Please help if you know of a way for me to rectify without deleting all of my boards


Answers:
author: Jireh
body: Hi,

Is it possible you invited her to your team, rather than your board? Inviting all of your clients to a singular team gives them access to all boards of that team.

Instead, you can invite users to a board (not a team) so that they only have access to that board.
Is there a way to preview PDFs on my board similar to how images work?
Asked by Darren johnson:

I constantly work with PDF files and switching that to a jpeg/png ends up being tedious for each job. Any way I can upload a pdf and have it preview the first page?


Answers:
author: Iain Dooley
body: [@Darren johnson](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3641382) The Google drive power up sort of does this, if you have a PDF file linked from the card or a directory containing pdf files, you'll see a thumbnail of the PDF but it's small, so depending on how identifiable those PDFs are, you'll still have to click on each on to see it.

What do you need to do with the PDFs? ie. what's the goal of being able to preview them?

comments: author: Darren johnson
body: The goal is to quickly identify jobs. I can do it with jpegs or pngs and it makes it easier, but it's not a huge deal. It's a little too tedius to export all my illustrator files as jpegs rather than PDFs as well. Adds more than twice the work saving my files.  

Thanks!


author: Iain Dooley
body: [@Darren johnson](/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3641382) so from what you're saying it sounds like you have some sort of work order that comes in a PDF, you put that work order on a card and you want to be able to get some data about that job from the PDF without having to download the document each time right?

Google Drive has a pretty good built-in OCR that will extract text from a PDF that can be automated with Google Apps Script. So for example this function pdfToText in Google Apps Script will grab the information from a PDF document and return it as text:

<https://gist.github.com/mogsdad/e6795e438615d252584f>

From there, the information could be added to the card description. This would be relatively trivial using Trellinator:

<https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Marketplace-Apps-Integrations/Introducing-Trellinator-Automate-Trello-with-Google-Apps-Script/ba-p/925271>

If the information were consistently formatted, then you'd be able to get it to parse into neatly formatted job information like job number, client name etc., otherwise the text that comes into the description might be a little messy because the OCR function just scrapes the text out and doesn't preserve any formatting


author: Darren johnson
body: Nope, not looking to parse information, at least not text. I do pre-press print work. All of my text is in outline form anyways. It's usually posters and signage.

See attachment: Sample 1 has a jpeg, Sample 2 has a pdf. I want it to look like sample 1 without exporting my file as a jpeg and uploading that.

Cannot create Dashcards
Asked by Camiel_Wieme_SA:

I have Butler active om my board. Now I want to create a dashcard that counts cards in a pipeline. Quite simple I thought, but creating a Card with the title "Cards in progress" does not seem to work. Permission sets to the board are OK.

I googled, but didn't find a satisfying solution.

Can anyone give me simple example of a dashcard that sould work?

I'm not familiar with the term dashcard, could you let me know what you mean? As much detail as you can give the community would be welcomed so that we can make sure we help you as much as you can, also including what you're trying to achieve. A lot of us are Butler nerds (I count myself in that), so I'm sure there are people who can help you, but might need a teensy bit more information.

It looks like Dashcards aren't available in Butler at the moment. When the page you sent me was written it was last year, before Butler was bought by Trello, however on [this page](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Trello-questions/Dashcards-in-Butler-for-Trello/qaq-p/1118982) you can see that Butler doesn't support Dashcards (as of 27 June), however someone else commented on this with their version that might be the answer for you!

Hope this helps

Thanks again.

I will have a look at Trellinator.

Problem with displaying and uploading photos and other files
Asked by ???? ??????:

Hello. Could you please help with solving the following problems with displaying, downloading and uploading files.

<br />

About 2 weeks ago, these problems started on both the macbook pro and iphone 8. Moreover, the same problem occurs in the trello app and in Safari browser (both from the computer and from iphone). When you open it through the browser, it is clear that the trello desk page cannot be fully downloaded

<br />

Photos are displayed simply as coloured squares and cannot be uploaded from trello.  
Also I cannot download any files from Trello boards, the download pages just freeze.

- I tried reinstalling the trello program - not help.  
- I tried to update the trello program - not help.  
-I tried to update the software on macbook and iphone to the latest versions - not help.

In Google Chrome browser errors also remain.

<br />

Additional information:

- an error occured about 2 weeks ago  
- our colleagues on other devices (not apple) don't have such problems, everything works fine.  
- When working through the Chrome browser, the problem remains.  
- User settings and browser extensions did not change. I have been using trello for a long time and there were no problems before that.

Thank you in advance,

Peter![screenshot with problem.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/73172i7885B58C56C0E44D/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "screenshot with problem.png")
