Configuring Cardboards
You can configure the Work in Progress values and the column labels for each cardboard. To access the configuration page, click the Kanban Board Configuration item in the menu (but it is only available if you are a Project Admin).

The changes you make to this page only affect the current cardboard.

The first tab of the cardboard configuration page, Column Configuration, shows the same columns as the cardboard itself. Each column is similar except Done; you cannot configure the Min and Max values.
For each column, you can set the minimum and maximum Work in Progress limits. If a column on the cardboard has fewer cards than the minimum or more than the maximum, you will receive a warning, such as OVERLOADED.
If you leave a field on the configuration page empty that means that there is no limit for that column.
You can configure the column label, so the cardboard can use the column names that you specify here.
A third configuration option is labeled as Display cards from child sprints checkbox. This is checked by default. This means that the cardboard can show not only the items linked to the release but also issues linked to one of the child releases. You can disable this by clearing the checkbox.
In addition to configuring these values, the configuration page provides some useful information. Each column contains a list of tracker statuses mapped to that column. You can change these mappings on the configuration pages of the trackers.
Information shown on the cards can be configured through theKanban Board Configuration menu. You can enable and disable different sections of the card.
Changing Number of Columns
In Cardboard Configuration, new columns can be added, and columns added by the user can also be removed. However, the four built-in columns cannot be removed. Cardboard must have at least the four default columns.
There is a default maximum limit on the number of columns, which is 10. If this limit is reached, an information box will appear at the top of the configuration screen to notify the user. To change this maximum limit , edit general.xml and use the following XML configuration:
<interactive cardboardMaximumColumns="15" ></interactive>
