Is it possible to make a card divider?

Question

I am trying to turn Trello to look like my whiteboard but I got stuck.

What I want to do is put 3 colleagues on a Trello board where each list will represent 1 colleague. Then I would add tasks via cards. Some tasks are ongoing and some are future ones and I would like to visually divide ongoing from future tasks.

Like this image:

Is this possible in Trello? To colourize the card fully, not just upper left corner.

Answer 1

I have 3 suggestions that may fit your needs in a slightly different way:

1. Work with 6 columns: 3 colleagues x (ongoing + future)
2. Define 2 users per colleague: one (say, A) for ongoing tasks and another (say, future_A) for the future tasks. Each user will have a different color dot.
3. Add a virtual card to separate ongoing tasks (above this card) from future tasks (below the card). You can assign this task to a virtual person just to mark it with a different color.

Answer 2

Another thing you can do is use card labels to signify the distinction between ongoing and future. Add the green label for all of the ongoing cards, and the red label for all of the future ones. The labels do display on the main board, which can give you that visual representation.

Also, if you want to enhance the visual representation of those colors, you can download a browser plugin such as Beautify for Trello to make the whole face of the card the color of the label.

Trello now officially supports having divider cards (though they can't have labels yet).

Answer 5

I've got dividers cards in my lists like this:

▲ — Prioritised (URGENT) — ▲

And some tags as well, like this:

● —— 2.17.30 —— ●

I find the unicode shapes and lines help make the "divider" card stand out a bit more.
