New capability for users to switch from list to boards view on projects- Can I turn this off?

First, I thought I've been following all the releases somewhat closely and didn't know this was coming, but I just noticed the "Board" icon that's available within a project while you're viewing "Tasks".

 

I guess it's pretty nifty to switch from the standard list view to Boards view on the fly, except we haven't trained our users on Boards at all. In fact, on a recent webinar, I recall the advice was to go with either one or the other, and not use both.

 

In any case, I still don't see this feature described in any of the release notes, but after searching on Exp League, I found this article, which seems to indicate I can't remove this Boards view: https://experienceleague.adobe.com/docs/workfront/using/reporting/reports/report-elements/views-overview.html?lang=en

 

Does anyone know differently? I'd like to eliminate any confusion among our users.

 

Thanks, James

    Good question - I'd assume you'd be able to do that in layout templates but after poking around in my own I'm not seeing anything that points to those specific toolbar options where that new Boards icon is.

      I noticed that too, it looks to of replaced the Agile view option, but I don't remember being able to turn off either.

        I have a similar question. I am trying to figure out how to make it so certain projects default to the board view, while leaving the other projects to remain lists. Any idea how to do this? It seems like once you click the board view, every other project opens as board view.

          I'm in Preview (thankfully) and have turned it on within issues, but now I can't see how to turn it off. Has anyone found a way around this yet?

          Thanks

          I believe it’s on the far right in the toolbar with views/filters/etc that you can turn back to list view.

          Hi Madalyn,

           

          That's what I would have thought, but after I select Boards view all the view options disappear. This is only in Preview as I'm don't want to ruin Production.

          Thanks
