  • You can show or hide your preferred application by navigating to the Show/Hide Apps icon.
     
  • Click on the particular application to get its expanded, detailed view. This expanded view of the application of your choice will automatically be retained for your next visit to Unified View until you navigate back using the top menu.
  • Add new tasks to the application of your choice by clicking the + icon on the respective board.
     
  • Edit the existing tasks by clicking on the task card or clicking the edit icon.
