# Add a task to a flexible or guided Visual Task Board

# Add a task to a flexible or guided Visual Task Board {#ariaid-title1}

Release version: Yokohama  
Updated January 30, 2025  
![](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/portal-asset/ico-clock) 1 minute to read  
Cards in a flexible or guided board represent records on whichever table the board is
associated with.

## Before you begin

Role required: none

## Procedure

1. In a lane header, click the lane menu (![Lane menu icon]()) and select Add Card.  
   Alternatively, click Add Card at the bottom of a lane.  
   Fields are populated based on any filter conditions for the board and, for guided boards, the lane you add the card to.

   Consider the example of a guided board that shows incidents with the Software category, with a lane for each assignee. If you add a card to the ITIL User lane, the new incident
   record Category and Assigned to fields are automatically set to Software and ITIL User.
2. Complete the form and click Submit.  
   A new task card appears in the lane.
