We pulled all the best bits & ideas together to create Board View; a **simple & customisable** way to share your **weekly plans**, designed specifically for **big screens **and** tablets**. And that's not all! We also managed to slip in a new, **resizable WBS** editor, and the option to **Group by Assignee** in Field.   ## Ditch the Whiteboard - Board is here! ![Board beautiful](https://blog.aphex.co/hs-fs/hubfs/Board%20beautiful.gif?width=760&height=475&name=Board%20beautiful.gif) ###### 1.  Replace your whiteboard **Board** gives you a dedicated space to communicate what's happening this week, and the tools to adapt the plan quickly when changes happen on site.  Arrange your tasks like **sticky notes** on a whiteboardwiththe new **'Masonry'** layout. And if you still prefer the classic 'Waterfall' layout? No sweat - the choice is yours. You can organise your plan by more options than ever before. Take your pick from any combination: - Package - Shift (*new*) - Location (*new*) - Owner - Subcontractor (*new*) - WBS Customise your Board View to fit your needs & choose to display only the task information you require. Just need to see Labour and Location? No problem! For any master organisers out there, you can even take it a step further and hide specific properties that aren't applicable. If Crew 2 isn't relevant for your meeting, but you still need to see the remaining Labour allocation, then Crew 2 can be hidden from the Board at the flick of a switch. And the icing on the cake? Everything can be repositioned with a simple drag and drop. [Head here](https://help.aphex.co/docs/guides/feature-walkthroughs/board-view) for an interactive walkthrough on how to configure your Board set up! 2. Create and Edit Tasks Board isn’t just for presenting either, you can **create whole plans** with input from the team, **edit work** or simply **add missing Tasks**. You can add Tasks directly into the group that you’d like the Task to belong to. And to speed things up - new Tasks will be pre-populated with your selected filters ###### 3. Track Performance Finally, update the plan in **real time** and **log Statuses** to track performance across the Project straight from Board. Cut out the extra step of someone having to think back to what was said from a meeting and update the Aphex plan.   ## Group by Assignee in Field ![Aphex Group by Assignee in Field.png](https://blog.aphex.co/hs-fs/hubfs/Aphex%20Group%20by%20Assignee%20in%20Field.png.png?width=760&height=503&name=Aphex%20Group%20by%20Assignee%20in%20Field.png.png) ###### 1. Group by Assignee Last month’s overhaul of the Field app was a hit; lots of you particularly enjoyed all the new grouping options. We did too. So much so that we've listened to your feedback and added a seventh grouping option - Group by: Assignee! Now, you can easily keep track of all tasks each User is contributing to.    ## Resizable WBS Editor ![Aphex Resize WBS Editor](https://blog.aphex.co/hs-fs/hubfs/Aphex%20Resize%20WBS%20Editor.png?width=760&height=428&name=Aphex%20Resize%20WBS%20Editor.png) ###### 1- Custom WBS window size Since teams use Aphex on all sorts of devices, with all sorts of different screen sizes, we've introduced the new Resizeable WBS Window. The WBS window can now be set to a custom size to support your process - whether you’d like a smaller window to see more of the Gantt or a larger window to see full WBS names, we've got you covered. ###### 2 - Saved Configurations Your custom window size will be **saved between visits**, so once you’ve found the perfect configuration, you won’t have to play around with the WBS window over and over!   ### Bug Fixes In our continued effort to make the most reliable platform for you, we’ve been pedal to the metal eliminating some key bugs in the tool. - ‘New Tasks in Backlog’ notification cannot be dismissed - `Shift` + `Enter`  adds a Task at the bottom of the group - Misspelled Plant Category - ‘Include Status Data’ for Published Versions affects logged in Project members - Work areas underneath the collapsed Map tasklist can’t be clicked - Clashes are not detected today - Printing times out for shared versions - Same Start and End Date on Map date range results in no Tasks Most of these were caught by some of our eagle-eyed users - thanks for helping us keep Aphex as robust as possible! ## Similar posts Product ### [What's New in Aphex: April 2023](https://blog.aphex.co/post/whats-new-in-aphex-april-2023) Multi-Select: Edit, Duplicate or Link together heaps of tasks at once.
