Using Full-Screen View in Ontraccr Boards
🖥️ Using Full-Screen View in Ontraccr Boards
Overview
The Full-Screen View option in Ontraccr expands your board to use the entire browser window, giving you more space to view columns, cards, and timelines — especially helpful when managing large workflows or working on smaller screens.
🎯 Why Use Full-Screen Mode?
Use Full-Screen View to:
- See more columns at once without scrolling
- Work on large boards more comfortably
- Focus without sidebar distractions
- Present or screen-share a board in meetings or reviews
🧩 How to Enter Full-Screen View
- Open any board.
- Look for the expand arrows icon beside the view dropdown (top right of the board).
- Click the icon to enter full-screen mode.
✅ The board will now take up the entire browser window, hiding navigation menus.
🧩 How to Exit Full-Screen View
- Click the same Full-Screen icon (now shown as a minimize or collapse icon) to return to standard view.
- You can also hit
ESC
on your keyboard.
📐 How It Affects Board Display
Display Area | Benefit in Full-Screen |
---|---|
Card View | See more columns and cards side by side |
List View | View longer lists with less scrolling |
Timeline View | See more timeline bars across a larger date range |
You can also zoom in/out using your browser to fine-tune what’s visible.
✅ Example Use Cases
Scenario | Why Full-Screen Helps |
---|---|
Project review meeting | Present the board to the team with maximum visibility |
Managing a complex PO tracker | See all statuses on one screen without scrolling |
Timeline-based scheduling | Visualize overlapping timelines with more date range in view |
Admin setup | Configure statuses, card fields, and filters without layout constraints |
🧠 Tips & Edge Cases
- Works best on larger monitors or widescreens
- Combine with zoom out (Ctrl - / Cmd -) to fit even more columns on-screen
- Use for clean presentations during demos, team meetings, or client walkthroughs
- Full-screen mode affects only your view — it doesn’t change how others see the board
