Guide
On a Board each Entity is represented as a card — just like sticky notes on a wall. The cards are then grouped by rows and/or columns. Board View is useful to visualize work by states, entities by relations, etc.

"Done" column may contain a lot of cards. It's a good candidate to be hidden. Alternatively, you may keep the "Done" column, but filter out all done cards.
Filter cards, columns and rows
You may filter Cards, Columns and Rows to make the Board View more compact.
Click Filter in the top menu

Do the same for Rows and Columns
You can choose whether an entity should be shown only if it matches all filters or if it matches any of the filters. It's not currently possible to use more complex logic in filters (e.g. if A and B or C).
Each Board has Global Filters and My Filters. Global Filters will be applied for all users, while My Filter is visible to you only.
You can also quickly find something on Board View, just use Cmd + F shortcut and type some keyword. This quick search works for Name, ID, numbers and other visible basic text fields.
