For full kanban functionality you’ll need to configure your admin user account as a possible assignee (not recommended for security) or create a regular user with.

On the right, specify username, real name, and profile (user permissions type). Select the “is a resource” checkbox for the ability to mark the user as “responsible” (assigned) for kanban tasks. This is required to complete kanban tasks. ![Create a new ProjeQtOr user](https://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/projeqtor-users-new-1024x515.png) 4.

There will only be a backlog column (or swimlane) present. Select the (![Add a new ProjeQtOr kanban column](https://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/projeqtor-kanban-column.png)) icon near the top to create a new column. ![ProjeQtOr kanban with one column - backlog](https://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/projeqtor-kanban-default-1024x214.png) 5.

Then select “OK.” ![Add a new ProjeQtOr kanban column](https://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/projeqtor-kanban-column-new.png)Add as many columns as you feel necessary. Kanbans generally include four columns – backblog, assigned, in progress, and done – as seen in the screenshot below. ![Basic ProjeQtOr kanban example](https://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/projeqtor-kanban-example-empty-1024x526.png) 6. Select the (![Add activity to ProjeQtOr kanban](https://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/projeqtor-kanban-activity-add.png)) icon to add a new activity (task). 7. Add a task name, select the affiliated project, and additional information as desired. Add an user for “responsible” (assignee) to prevent issues closing kanban tasks later. ![New ProjeQtOr Activity Description section](https://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/projeqtor-activity-new-1024x653.png) 8. Select the floppy disk (![ProjeQtOr save icon](https://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/projeqtor-save-icon.png)) icon near the upper-right corner to save the activity. The task will populate under the backlog by default.  ![ProjeQtOr kanban example](https://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/projeqtor-kanban-example-1024x576.png)*Kanban example with additional columns and “show large elements” enabled.* You can drag and drop tasks to successive columns. You cannot move tasks backwards by default. To progress a task to “in progress” and further columns, you must assign a “responsible” user. To mark a task “done” you must add a description for the end result before selecting “OK.”  If you encounter problems with this, edit the task to assign a user. Under “Treatment,” you can also type the “result” and change the status. Don’t forget to save changes. ![ProjeQtOr Activity Treatment section](https://www.inmotionhosting.com/support/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/projeqtor-activity-treatment-1024x578.png) ### What Next?
