# Viewing and Managing Linked Board Cards Under a Project in Ontraccr

## 🗂️💬 **Viewing and Managing Linked Board Cards Under a Project in Ontraccr Overview**  
 

Every project in Ontraccr can have **Board Cards** linked to it — connecting your **site activities**, **procurement tasks**, **communications**, and more directly to the project profile.

The **Cards tab** inside each project shows a full list of these linked cards for easy navigation and management!

* * *

## 🎯 **Why Link Board Cards to Projects?**

-   **Centralize communication** tied to the project.
-   Quickly **jump between project and task views**.
-   See **all active tasks** for a project across different boards (Service, Procurement, HR, etc.).
-   **Shortcut navigation** to important workflows without leaving the project.

## 🛠️ **How the Cards Tab Works**

* * *

### 📄 **What You See**

Inside the **Cards** tab:

-   **Sections by Board Name** (e.g., Project Tracker, Procurement, Service Tracker).
-   Under each section:
    -   **List of all cards** linked to the project.
    -   Card Titles
    -   Board Name association
    -   Status (e.g., In Progress, Completed)

✅ Everything is neatly organized by board — no clutter!

* * *

### 🛠️ **Actions Available**

-   **Click any Card**:
    -   Opens the full Board Card details.
    -   You can view/edit (based on your permissions) immediately.
-   **Navigate Back to Project**:
    -   Inside the Board Card, click the **Project Link**.
    -   Instantly return to the Project profile view.

✅ Seamless **two-way linking** between projects and tasks!

## 🧩 **How Board Cards Get Linked to Projects**

When creating or editing a board card:

1.  Fill out the **Linked Item** field.
2.  Choose **Project** and select the correct project.
3.  Save.

✅ The card now appears under the linked project's Cards tab automatically!

## 🧠 **Tips & Edge Cases**

**One Card, One Project**:

A Board Card can be linked to **only one** project at a time.

**Cross-Board Visibility**:

Even if tasks span multiple boards (Procurement, Communication, Service), they all consolidate here by project.

**Use Cards Strategically**:

Link service calls, purchase orders, site issues, RFI tracking, or communication threads — anything that needs project context!

**If No Cards Linked**:

The Cards tab will simply show **no data** until cards are linked manually or automatically via board automations.

* * *

## ✅ **Example Scenario**

You’re managing a high-rise construction project:

-   Service Board tracks maintenance tickets.
-   Procurement Board tracks material purchase tasks.
-   Communication Board tracks client meeting notes.

All related tasks/cards show up in the Project's **Cards tab**, giving you **one place to review everything happening** across different teams!

* * *

## 🚀 **Summary**

The Cards tab connects your **boards and projects seamlessly**, ensuring that no matter where a task lives, it’s always **tied to the project work it impacts**.
