The Link Type View

Overview

The link type view lists your filtered board items and their relationships (established via connecting the boards) in a tabular format to provide you a better traceability view.

Understanding the Table

Below is a sample “Tasks” board in the default main table view.

In the link type view, the links among the items are brought to the forefront and the rest of the details are represented in a customizable item card.

Observe that each row of the table corresponds to each item of the board based on the applied filter(if any).

Now, let us understand what each column and their values mean in detail –

The Item Name column

• This column corresponds to the main item of the row.

• In the example above – Let us consider the first item: "Username and password based login". Observe that it is shown in the Item Name column in the form of an item card.
  

  

The Subitems Column

• Following the Item name column is the Subitems column. The subitems of an item would appear here. For example –
  Here is an item “Integrate various bank vendors“ having three subitems in the Main table view –
  

  

• In the link type view, these Subitems are represented in the Subitems column like so –
  

  

Connected Board Columns

• Each connected board link is represented as a column in the Link type view by its name.

• The items connected to a board item by this link would appear as its values against that board item.

• For example –
  The item “Username and password based login“ is connected to the item: “Validate Username and password based login scenario” via the connected board link: “Validated By”
  

  

In the link type view, observe that the linked item is represented in the “Validated By“ column in an item card –
