The way the teamboard is presented to a user is specified by its fields and work views.
A work view specifies how the whole set of work items and tasks is shown whereas a field specifies how the particular property is shown on a work view or on a dialog.
Work Views:
A work view specifies the way the teamboard is presenting its set of work items and tasks to the user.
Currently, we distinguish five types of work views:
A Board view (Kanban or Task) shows work items and tasks in a form of a cards on a board grid.
A card consists of a subset of the work items or a task’s fields.
The columns of the board grid are labeled by the possible values of the grouping property. The position of a card on the grid is determined by the value of the grouping property of the underlying work item or task. Moving a card from one column to the other automatically changes the grouping property value.
The Calendar view shows the work item's and task's title field in the calendar grid. The position of this field in the calendar grid is determined by the value of the selected date property of the underlying work item or task. Moving a field from one position to the other automatically changes the date property value of the work item.
The Table view shows work items in a table. Each row of a table corresponds to one work item or task whereas the columns correspond to the properties.
Fields:
On the presentation level, a teamboard contains specifications how the work items, tasks and their properties should be shown to the user. The basic component on this specification is a field.
A field defines how to show or enter a property value. Every property has its own field. A field is specified by its caption and type. The type of the field is the same as the type of the corresponding property and determines what control will be used to show or enter the property value. Currently, we have the following types of fields/properties:

Fields are shown on the work item’s and task’s edit dialogs as well as on cards and tables in work views. Fields corresponding to the system properties are always read only.
