To create a work board, we need to access our GitLab profile, select the project where we want to create the board, and then follow a few simple steps that we will see below.
- In the left sidebar menu, click on Issues -> Boards
Only two default issue classification labels will appear in the board: Open and Closed.
To create a new label, we have to go back to the menu, click on Project information. Then Labels -> New label.
We will add a Title, Description, and Background Color to it.
To use this new label in our board, we go back to the board screen by clicking on Issues -> Boards. Finally, to add it, click on Create list -> Select a label and select the previously created one.
Finally, we add it to the board.
