Need advice on PERSONAL use (1 person) of Trello - setup?
Asked by Alan Salls:

I am going to be using Trello to organize my personal life. I am wondering if I should do everything all on one board, and just have many lists - one for each "topic" like one for a website I need to clean up, one for the organization \& cleanup of the domains I own, one for selecting a new church to go to, etc. Or should I use multiple boards. It just seems like for one person \& no team collaboration multiple boards may be going overboard? A question about my lists, though: Is there a way that I can put one list under another, rather than having them all in a horizontal row with a horizontal scrollbar? Lots of my lists might only have a couple of cards under them, so several would fit vertically under each other. But is there a way to do that? Any advice to a newbie from others who use Trello just for personal use would be greatly appreciated! TIA!!

-Alan Salls


Answers:
author: Caity
body: Hi Alan,

If you find that you need a lot of cards for a single topic, then it might be helpful to have a separate board for that. However, if you only need two or three cards for something, you could have it as a list on a board, or have a board with "To Do", "Doing", and "Done" as the lists, and use labels to organize the themes. Many people use multiple boards for Trello even when just organizing their own personal lives, so if it's helpful for you, I don't think it's going overboard. :)

As for putting one list under another, currently, Trello doesn't support that---however, we're aware of a Chrome extension that allows you to stack or grid lists. While we're not able to endorse any third-party apps (since we don't work with them directly), you can check them out at [List Layouts for Trello](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/list-layouts-for-trello/aldklnbenbdgfgfbflalmlddkkndgnlc?hl=en-US).

Hope that helps!

body: Alan, I've been around and around on this myself.

What I found works is to take advantage of all the "levels" in Trello:

Organization, Board, List, Card

1. Organization = perhaps who you are serving or work, church, home, etc.
2. Board = Goal
3. Lists : Status of each Task working toward Goal. So then the typical "To do, Doing, Done lists works nicely).
4. Card : Task

That way, you can decide "OK, I'm working on Goal XYZ (maybe finishing Website for someone)" and pull up that board and see where you are.

Using search operators in Trello
Asked by Kenneth Jensen:

Hi there

I'm playing around with the search operators in Trello to optimize my workflow.

My current search string:

```
@me is:open -list:done -list:icebox -list:blocked
```

<br />

A few question:

* The search operator 'list' is not documented, but still works. Why?
* Can I sort my search results, say sort:asc or similar?
* Can I use operators like OR or AND? I works with the list operator as above, but I cannot make it work with the comment operator.
* Can I use the 'subscribed' feature in my search string?
* Can I limit my above search string to only search in a specific team (not board)?

<br />

Documentation: <http://help.trello.com/article/808-searching-for-cards-all-boards>

Best,  
Kenneth


Answers:
author: Marta Galofre de Alos
body: Hi Kenneth,

Marta here from Trello Support. Thanks for your questions!

* Sorry, I'm not really sure I understand what you mean by the "list" operator not being documented? It does appear in our article, right underneath "board:id". Is that what you're referring to?
* Results sorting is not available at the moment. Right now, they're sorted by last day of addition, so from newest to oldest cards
* Right now that's not available. I'll share your interest in that to my team though!
* You can search cards that you've added yourself to, but not cards you're subscribed to.
* That's currently not available either, I'll share that with my team as well!

So, yes, the search function can definitely be improved and I'll pass your comments to my team so they can take them into account, thanks so much for your insights!

Cheers,

Marta

Sorry - you're right. List function is documented! My bad.

Maximum cards in a list
Asked by David Duty:

I have a spreadsheet with 2,000+ customers in it. Name, address, city, st. zip, country and phone numbers.

I would like to create a board with a list with all of these customers in it.

Is there a maximum number of cards I can have in a list?

Also if I do have that many cards in a list would Trello be to slow to function properly?

Also does the amount on info on the back of a card affect the speed of Trello in everyday use; like in opening the board, sorting, etc?

David


Answers:
author: Torben_trello
body: We would not recommend having more than 1000 active cards on a single board.

An amount of cards more than that may cause freezing and delays. We are currently working to improve Trello's performance for large boards, but for now, the best solution I would offer is to break up the lists into individual boards. That will allow the individual boards to perform much much better.  
Also, at a certain point, the visual nature of Trello also isn't adding anything because there are simply too many cards.

comments: author: David Duty
body: Thanks for the answer. I am or was trying to use Trello as a CRM and task management app. I love Trello and use it as a trading journal for my students and it's perfect for that.

It's probably best to use something else for CRM although a Task-To Do system would do well in Trello.

Best template of a to do list
Asked by Viral In Nature:

Been using Workastio for my to do list, but just discovered Trello and love it. What's the best example of a to do list template?

body: Hi there,

Marta here, from Trello Support.

Trello is very flexible and there are many different ways you could use it. What is it exactly you'd like to achieve with it? Which problems are you trying to solve?

Sometimes one of the best ways to get started with Trello is to see how other people are using it to gain perspective on their own projects. Check out this list of inspiring boards <https://trello.com/inspiration> and our new Trello Team Playbooks at <https://trello.com/teams>  

Our blog covers many ways that users are making use of Trello's features, so you may want to have a look at that as well!<http://blog.trello.com/>

I hope that helps!

Is there a way to auto set a due date for a card?
Asked by Viral In Nature:

Is there a way to auto set a due date for a new card?

Create new card - when you create a new card

Move card - when you move a card

I use Zapier to create new cards by gmail when I get a new lead on my website. It would be great if it could automatically set a due date of x days when it's created.


Answers:
author: Zach L_Anglois
body: Sounds like a job for ButlerBot  

The commands you would create would look like:  

"When a card is added, set due in 7 days"  

And  

"When a card is moved, set due in 3 days"  

Or something like that.
Is there a way to see all of the cards that have a due date of today?
Asked by Chelsea Brinkley:

I have multiple boards and rather than going into each one individually to see what I have due today, I'd love it if I could click a button or somehow see all the cards across my boards of what is due today.


Answers:
author: Marta Galofre de Alos
body: Hi Chelsea,

Marta here, from Trello Support.

Currently, there isn't a global calendar view within Trello. I'll pass along your request to the team---let me know if there's any additional information you'd like me to share.  

For now, you could use the [Planyway Power-Up](https://info.trello.com/power-ups/planyway-calendar) to view due dates from other boards on an individual board's calendar, or you can add each of your boards' iCal feeds to Google Calendar, or another app which subscribes to iCal feeds: [Using Trello with Google Calendar](http://help.trello.com/article/829-using-trello-with-google-calendar).  

To make that process a little bit simpler, there's a calendar connector from Cronofy that can help you connect multiple Trello boards to your preferred calendar app. While we're not able to endorse or provide support for third-party services (since we don't work with them directly), we've heard good things about that one. You can find more information about it here: <https://trello.cronofy.com/>  

There are also some calendars that integrate directly with Trello. You can read more about those in our blog post here: <https://blog.trello.com/5-calendar-apps-replace-sunrise/>

Something else you may want to consider is your card's view.

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> .

I hope that helps!

Cheers,

Marta

Using Trello Cards to Schedule Equipment
Asked by Jack Pearson:

My engineering firm uses a board to catalog our equipment as cards within category lists (i.e. Fall Arrest Harness in Safety, Moisture Meter in Field Tools, etc.). The cards work beautifully except for what seems like a lack of scheduling capability. We can use due dates to indicate a single upcoming use and then view that in calendar view, which is useful to a point. What we're missing is the ability to give multiple date ranges of uses so that we can show that person x has something reserved for a few days here, and person y can reserve it for a few days there. Is anyone aware of a native feature or a powerup that might give us the functionality we're looking for? I recognize that we're probably trying to use the cards for other than their intended function and that MS Office Calendars can be used for resources like this, but I've been directed to try and integrate this function into our existing Trello catalog. Any ideas much appreciated!


Answers:
author: Marta Galofre de Alos
body: Hi Jack,

Marta here, from Trello Support.

That's a really interesting use case! Right now, due dates weren't thought to fit that purpose, so it's not possible to add start and end dates to your cards.

As a possible workaround, you can define start and ending dates for your cards using the custom fields Power-Up. Please note, however, that dates from this Power-Up won't show up in your board's calendar view for now. You can read more about custom fields here: <http://blog.trello.com/trello-custom-fields/>  

I'll pass your interest in this on to our team for consideration---let me know if there's any additional info you'd like for me to send their way.

Marta

Why doesn't the invite option show up in menu
Asked by sam stevens:

In the past, I've had the option to 'Invite members' through the trello menu. For some reason it doesn't show up on this board (see screenshot). Any idea how to change this?

Answers:
author: Marta Galofre de Alos
body: Hi Sam,

Marta here from Trello Support.

Depending on the board's settings, if the board admin has determined that only admins can invite other members, you won't see that option in the board's menu.

You can reach out to the admin to change those settings or ask them to add you as an admin as well. Here's an article on how to [Change permissions on a board](http://help.trello.com/article/791-changing-permissions-on-a-board). Also, here are the instructions on [Making a user an admin of a board](http://help.trello.com/article/790-making-a-user-an-admin-of-a-board).

Add separate accounts on Trello
Asked by Vincy Wong:

I am handling 3 businesses at the moment and they have different teams and separate business email addresses.

Is it possible to switch accounts like within Gmail?


Answers:
author: Matthew N
body: Hi Vincy

Sadly, this is not currently possible. My best workaround suggestions are to use Chrome profiles to sign into both accounts, or to share the boards you need to access with both accounts, so you can edit your work boards from your personal account and vice versa. Sadly, these are workarounds and not the ideal solution you propose. I would advise you to [submit this as a feature request to Trello Staff through this link](https://trello.com/contact?nosearch=1&source=from%20helpsite%20beacon). It's a great feature idea :)

Fit photo to window in desktop app
Asked by Adam R:
