Create advanced checklists

Sometimes a team needs to go a little deeper to bring a project together. You can add due dates and assign members to keep track of the subtasks to accomplish your mission. The advanced checklist functionality lets you polish your project at the micro-level.

Assign members and dates to checklists items and don’t let small tasks slip through the cracks.
Your checklist will then appear in your Calendar view (Views is available with Trello Premium) so you can get more clarity on what lies ahead. Access the ‘Your Items’ tab on your Trello Home screen so you can stay on top of all your to-dos.

Structure information with Custom Fields

Keep essential data front and center with Custom Fields and set a clear information hierarchy for your board’s needs. Add valuable details to your Trello cards that are unique to the way you and your team get things done. Add dates, text, numbers, dropdown lists, and checkboxes, and label them exactly the way you want for your team to create unique workflows.
