Trello is a great operational tool for users to centrally collaborate on board and card information. However, reporting features are limited! With Bridge24, users can connect dynamically to Trello and instantly create and export powerful charts and card lists for basic reports.
Benefits of Using Charts
Charts aide in a quick understanding of the distribution of cards and provide an overview to access information through a visual representation. Rather than looking through lists and lists of cards or extensive filtering and searching, find information at a glance visually through a chart. The chart can also be exported (PDF format) to share with managers or co-workers to quickly see patterns and other aggregate information for comparisons, etc.
Charts Based on a Board or Filters, and How to Access
The charts in Bridge24 are contextual and based on the current cards displayed from a board or filter results. In the case where you wish to include archived cards, you can create a filter and include the “Archived” status. Using the filters you can also create charts across boards. Once the desired list of cards is presented, click on the Charts menu item in the header area, and select the “Charts for displayed cards”. The predefined charts will then display.
The predefined charts for Trello are Cards by: board, member, status type, list, label color, label name, created by week, and more
Chart Types Offered
The different chart types supported are: Pie chart, doughnut, polar, horizontal bar, and vertical bar.

Chart Drilldown
Click on any segment in the displayed chart and you are presented by the associated (filtered) card list. You can click on the card to open the Edit panel to view or update information for the card. There is another option (Open in Grid) at the bottom to open the filtered list within the Power grid.
Export Chart and Card List to PDF
An export feature is available that creates a formatted PDF to easily print or send via email. Optionally, the list of associated cards by segment is also provided in the exported PDF.
