Configuration options missing

[Schalk Burger]

Hi.

I seem to be missing configuration options.  I just opened a free Cloud instance and set up a vanilla Kanban board.  When I go to Board, three dots, configure board, I get this - one single option to change column and statuses:

I was expecting other settings such as being able to define swimlanes.  What have I done wrong?  I also don't see a place to use filters on my board.

Kind regards and thanks in advance

You're using a Team-Managed project, so these are the options you are supposed to see.  

There are fewer options for configuration on this sort of project (this is by design, it is not a bug), so you don't have the same level of customization as a Company-Managed project, which supports swimlanes based on a bunch of other data
You don't use filters to drive work on a team managed board, it's simply aware of the tickets in that project (only). 

It sounds like you need a Company-Managed project/board.

That is exactly it!  I've learned so much and one of the things I've learned is that I'm a "Company-Managed" guy, as long as I'm the company :-)

Thanks for helping out a noob.
