Every display option

The whole list of what a point can show. To choose between these, start with Choose what a point shows. All of it is set per card type, on a line’s On the plan, unless it says otherwise.

What each field type can do

Field type	In the point: Color	In the point: Initials or icon	Also shows as
Select, one pick (Status, Dropdown)	Yes	Yes, each choice’s	Ring, Highlight or Corner flag, and Label or Text underneath
Select with Multi-select	No	No	Labels, one per pick
Tags	No	No	Labels, one per tag
Text, one line	No	Yes	Label or Text underneath
Text, Long answer	No	No	Text underneath
Number, Currency	No	Yes	Label or Text underneath
Date	No	No	Label
Flag	No	No	Corner flag, Highlight or Label
Icon	No	Always	Nothing else; it has no On the plan choices
Tasks	No	No	Corner mark or Label
Photos, Files	No	No	Corner mark or Label

Choosing Nothing more leaves only the In the point switches. Except for Icon, turning off Show on the plan draws nothing at all.

Colors

Option	Color choices
Card type’s Color	One color, Slate to start
Ring	From the choice, or one color from the solid set
Corner flag	From the choice on a Select, or one color from the solid set
Highlight	One of five highlighter colors: Yellow, Green, Pink, Orange, Cyan. On a Select, also From the choice, which uses the closest of the five
Label	From the choice on a Select or Tags, or No box, Yellow, Black or a color. Filled or Outline on a box in Black, a color or From the choice. A Date’s or a Photos or Files label has no No box. A Tasks label is Black or a color only

A choice’s color, initials and icon belong to the field, so they’re the same on every card type. A Select’s or Tags field’s colored choices need Choices have colors on.

Rules for when options overlap

1. Color. The first shown line, in card order, with Color on and a picked choice that has a color sets it. If there’s none, the card type’s Color is used.
2. Initials or icon. The first shown line, in card order, with it on and an answer that gives one sets it. If there’s none, the card type’s is used. A point shows initials or an icon, never both.
3. Ring. The first shown line set to Ring holds it, with or without an answer. Later lines set to Ring draw nothing.
4. Ring with Color. On a line with Color on, Ring is grayed out. Different lines can do one each.
5. Highlight. A card type holds one, from a Flag or a Select, so a second is grayed out, with the reason. A point glows when its line’s Flag is on, or a ticked choice is picked, except while a filter is on: then only matches glow.
6. Corner flags. Any number can be set. Each one that’s on adds a disc, in card order. Corner marks sit beside them.
7. Text underneath. The first shown line set to it holds the place, with or without an answer. A later one draws as a Label.
8. Labels. Any number can be set, drawn in card order. The card’s Name comes first, if it’s a Label. Long ones get cut short, and those that don’t fit in three rows are left off.
9. One-pick Select. It can hold one of Ring, Highlight or Corner flag, and one of Label or Text underneath, as well as Color and Initials or icon. Every other field type holds one place.
10. Ticking choices. A Select on Corner flag or Highlight shows only for ticked choices. With nothing ticked it draws nothing. A Ring doesn’t use ticks: it shows for every pick that has a ring color.
11. Multi-select. Turning it on makes a Select’s Corner flag or Highlight read as a Label, and takes away its In the point switches. Turning it off brings them back, but you can’t turn it off while a point holds two picks, and a Highlight comes back as a Label if the card type has another by then.
12. Hidden lines, and lines with Show on the plan off, draw nothing. Hidden answers still count in reports.
13. Adding a field to a card type. It starts as it was last set on another card type, shown. If that would make a second Highlight, it starts as a Label.

Filters and reports

• Flagged only counts Corner flags, from a Flag or a Select. Highlighted only counts Highlights the same way.
• A running filter puts a yellow glow on the points it matches, and a report on the plan does the same.
• What a point shows doesn’t change what reports count. Reports read the answers, whether or not they’re drawn.
