# 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**

1.  Open any board.
2.  Look for the **expand arrows icon** beside the view dropdown (top right of the board).
3.  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
