Build Boards

Qntrl lets users create a board in three different ways:

1. Start from scratch : This is a quick create option where a default process (Form and Blueprint) will be created with default fields in the forms and a simple blueprint, which can be customized later. 
2. Choose from templates: Beginners can use the existing templates created based on business use cases by our team to create a board.
   
3. Create from Settings : Users who wish to automate their own process step-by-step can define their process and create their own Board from Settings.
