## Boards in project snapshots

Configuration Manager for Jira (CMJ) allows you to include Agile boards in snapshots (project or system). You can include boards in snapshots in a similar way to [Filters](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CMJ/pages/198117100). For project snapshots, you can perform this on the **Boards** page (third page) of the [snapshot creation wizard](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CMJ/pages/197956922).

### Include all project boards

At the **Select** phase of the snapshot creation wizard, you can choose the **Include Project Boards** option. It automatically includes all boards with direct references to the projects in the snapshot.

> ℹ️ **Direct project reference** means that the board's saved filter contains the snapshot project(s) in the *project* operand in the JQL syntax.

Click **Next** to continue to the **Boards** page. You will see a list of all agile boards on the system. The agile boards with direct references to the projects in the snapshot are automatically selected. You can remove or add boards to the snapshot.

### Include only selected boards

You can choose to include only selected boards in your project snapshot. To do this:

1. At the **Select** phase of the snapshot creation wizard, do not enable the **Include Project Boards** option.
2. Click **Next** to continue to the **Boards** page.
3. On the **Boards** page, select the agile boards you would like to include in the snapshot.

The **Select Project Boards** button selects and includes all project boards in the snapshot.

### Disabled board option

If you decide to navigate back from the **Boards** page to the **Select** page of the creation wizard, you will notice that the **Include Project Boards** option is greyed out (disabled). This ensures that CMJ will keep your manually selected boards. Once you select boards manually on the **Boards **page, you can change your selection only on the **Boards** and **Preview** pages.

## Boards in system snapshots

You can also include all boards in [System Configuration Snapshots](https://appfire.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/CMJ/pages/198116921). 

On the **Select** page of the snapshot creation wizard, enable the **Include all Boards** option to include all boards from the system.

On the** Preview** page of the creation wizard, you can review the snapshot details and the selected boards. You can also exclude boards from the snapshot.
