A [board](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CBCCL/pages/641963757) consists of columns into which you can add containers. Each container has these attributes:

- the container name
- the container description
- the labels defined for each container

Both [cards](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CBCCL/pages/641997997) and [page-cards](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CBCCL/pages/641997936) (cards with a  linked Confluence page) are added to each container.

> ℹ️ Move cards from one container to another by dragging and dropping the card.
