Which one you should use for your use case
Trello's Table View is designed to provide visibility into cards across multiple boards. With Unito, you can create a Trello board that collects cards from each board to gain both visibility and the opportunity to engage with your collaborators on those cards directly.
Trello Table View
Table View allows you to pull cards from different boards into a spreadsheet-style format. You pick the boards you want to review and all cards are pulled in. Then you can filter and sort by four fields:
-
Lists
-
Labels
-
Members
-
Due dates
These fields can also be edited from Table View.
Why Sync Trello Cards with Unito?
With a Unito master board, you can also pull cards from different boards into a single view, but the value goes beyond visibility.
Creating a Unito master board allows you to edit fields (including the ever-popular custom fields) within those cards, offer comments and feedback, and communicate with other card members. Basically, instead of offering a one-way view into a group of cards, it enables two-way collaboration on all the cards of your choosing. You set the rules so only the cards you're interested in appear in your master board — meaning filtering happens before the cards arrive, instead of after.
