# Boards

**Example URL:** <https://pentest.ws/e/{engagement.id}/boards>

Boards give you a flexible, drag-and-drop way to organize hosts within an engagement. Each board is user-defined and can contain any number of hosts, allowing you to visually track progress, group targets, or segment environments.

#### How Boards Work

* Create as many boards as you need within an engagement.
* Add hosts to boards using the sidebar or drag-and-drop.
* Move hosts between boards to reflect status or workflow.

#### Organizing Strategies

You can define boards to match the way you work. Common approaches include:

* **Status** – In Progress, Vulnerable, Cleared
* **Environment** – External, Internal, WiFi, Cloud
* **Domains** – AD: US, Europe, Asia
* **Phases** – Group 1, Group 2, Group 3

#### Advanced Uses

* **Board Filters** – Narrow your view to a single board for focus.
* **Team Collaboration (Pro Tier)** – In shared engagements, assign hosts by board to different testers.
* **Creative Workflows** – Use boards for labs (e.g., HackTheBox), with categories like *Active Testing*, *Pwned*, *Archived*.

#### Key Benefits

* Visual, intuitive host management
* Fully customizable for any workflow
* Scales from personal use to collaborative engagements
