How do I move cards on a touchscreen?

You can drag cards on the LocalPM Kanban board with your finger. The only difference from a mouse is that you press and hold first, so that scrolling the page doesn't move cards by accident.

Drag a card with touch

1. Open your project and select Board in the sidebar. On a small screen, you may need to open the sidebar with the menu button first.
2. Press and hold a card briefly until it picks up.
3. Without lifting your finger, drag it to another column, or up or down within the same column to change its order.
4. Let go. The story's status and position are saved straight away.

If the page scrolls instead of the card moving, you probably started dragging too soon. Hold a little longer before you move your finger.

Alternative: change the status in the story

You can make the same change without dragging:

1. On the Board, tap the card to open the Edit Story dialog. You can also open the story from the Backlog view.
2. Change Status to the column you want: To Do, In Progress, In Review, or Done.
3. Tap Update.

With a keyboard

If your tablet has a keyboard attached, or you prefer not to drag, you can move cards from the keyboard:

1. Press Tab until a card is focused.
2. Press Space to pick it up.
3. Use the arrow keys to move it to another column or up and down within a column.
4. Press Space to drop it, or Escape to cancel.

Screen readers announce each step.
