Guide
You can put real entities (tasks, features, bugs, projects, etc) onto a Whiteboard and work with them as you would with boxes (connect, move around).
Insert an entity into Whiteboard
Click Insert a Card option in the bottom menu (or use I shortcut)
Click on a Whiteboard where you want to insert an entity.
Find required entity and click on it.
Another way is to just copy entity URL and paste it to the whiteboard, card will be created:
Open an entity
Double click on entity card to open it. It will appear on the right and you can edit it easily.
Customize visible fields
You can customize visible fields on entity cards.
Click on an entity card.
Click Fields menu.
Select fields that you want to see. Note that fields selection will be applied to all cards of this database type in this Whiteboard.
Convert Boxes into Entities
You can quickly convert boxes into real entities. For example, you may generate many Features from your brainstorming session.
Select one or many boxes.
Click Convert to Entity menu.
Select database and boxes will be converted into entities. Double click to open an entity.
Connecting entities
In some cases you may set real relations between entities from Whiteboard. For example, you see Feature and Bug in Whiteboard that are not connected, and Feature has a collection of Bugs. In this case when you connect Feature with the Bug on Whiteboard the Bug will be added into a Feature collection. See Whiteboard Relation Tool.
Expand cards to show nested collections
Manipulating and organizing entity collection hierarchies on the whiteboard is challenging. You can use Collections, they will help you to quickly add related cards to the whiteboard, thus exploring hierarchies fast.
Click on any card and find Collections menu. Here you can select nested entities and apply filter to show only relevant to you. You can also remove collections from the board with two clicks.
Essentially, it works like collapse and expand, but with some tricks, since there can be many collections and various filters.
