Formula Fields and More!

New Formula Fields

With the new formula fields, you can perform calculations using both simple and advanced functions, all based on your custom fields in the list view. We'll demonstrate the power of formulas with a simple example.

Imagine: the company Vloer & Co installs floors and wants to quickly calculate the total price of a project. They have the custom field for 'square meters' and the field for 'price per square meter.' With the formula field, you can multiply these fields to get the total 'cost' or 'budget.'

Want to go even further? You can! A project over 100 square meters is considered a 'large' project by Vloer & Co. With formulas, we can automatically add this extra information to the list view.

With over 70 different functions, the possibilities with formulas are immense. The functions are based on the same methodology you're used to in Excel.

See More in the Timeline with Grouping

With the new grouping feature in the timeline, you can collapse the familiar 'waterfall' view. This allows you to make optimal use of available space to display the planned strips.

New Automation

We’ve added a new automation to our automation center:

"When you add a label to one card, add the same label to all other cards in the collection."

Another handy and time-saving feature!
