# Adding column-types like Status, Text, Numbers, and Check-boxes to your taskboard

## Juristic Flow allows you to customise your task boards with a variety of column types to ensure your projects are organised and detailed. Here's a comprehensive guide on each column type available in the Column Center.

### Column Types and Their Uses

| **Column Type** | **Purpose** | **Example Use Case** |
| --- | --- | --- |
| **Status** | Tracks the progress of tasks, ensuring you can quickly see which tasks are pending, in progress, or completed. | For a litigation project, tasks could have statuses such as “Drafting,” “Under Review,” or “Submitted.” |
| **People** | Assigns team members to specific tasks. This ensures accountability and clarifies who is responsible for what. | In a due diligence process, assign tasks like document review or financial analysis to specific colleagues. |
| **Text** | Adds brief text descriptions or comments. Ideal for including quick notes or details. | Include short instructions or context about the task, such as “Check for legal precedent.” |
| **Numbers** | Allows you to add numeric values, such as costs, billable hours, or any other relevant figures. | Record the estimated billable hours for each task or track the value of assets in a transaction. |
| **Date** | Keeps track of deadlines or important dates for each task. | Set deadlines for submitting briefs or filing legal documents. |
| **Timeline** | Visualises the duration of tasks by showing start and end dates. | Track the timeline of a court case, showing when hearings or submissions are due. |
| **Check Box** | Use a simple checkbox to mark tasks as done. | Tick off tasks like “Send client updates” or “Follow up on discovery.” |
| **Time Tracking** | Monitors the amount of time spent on a task. | Track the hours spent drafting a contract for billing or productivity analysis. |
| **Clock** | Tracks the time for each task, perfect for time-sensitive workflows. | Monitor when a task starts and ends, such as tracking response times for urgent client queries. |
| **Long Text** | Allows for more detailed notes or descriptions, beyond what the Text column offers. | Use it to capture meeting minutes or detailed client instructions. |
| **Link** | Provides quick access to external resources or references. | Link to relevant case law, regulations, or client documentation stored externally. |
| **Files** | Attach relevant documents, such as contracts, agreements, or briefs, directly to tasks. | Include a draft document for review or evidence for a case. |
| **Dropdown** | Offers a list of predefined options to categorise or prioritise tasks. | Use dropdowns to classify tasks by priority levels (e.g., High, Medium, Low). |
| **Label** | Provides an easy way to categorise tasks with coloured tags. | Label tasks by type, such as “Research,” “Drafting,” or “Review.” |
| **Country** | Adds country-specific information to tasks, particularly useful for multinational projects. | Assign tasks based on the jurisdiction or country involved in a case. |
| **Priority** | Assigns a priority level to tasks, ensuring urgent tasks are highlighted. | Use this to indicate which filings or client matters need immediate attention. |
| **Latest Comment** | Displays the most recent comment on a task for quick updates. | Easily keep track of new feedback or instructions added to a task. |
| **Latest Update** | Tracks when a task was last modified, providing an audit trail of changes. | Use this to see the last time progress was made on a task, ensuring accountability. |
