By default, Hygger board has a blue background, that you may change to another color. There are 9 different colors to customize Hygger board.

If you read our article about Backlog you may know that Backlog is a Kanban board with switched on prioritization in Hygger. In this section you are able to choose one of the 6 available prioritization techniques: The Eisenhower Matrix; Value/Risk Matrix; Value/Efforts Matrix; Weighted Scoring; ICE; RICE.
Later the Eisenhower Matrix, Value/Risk and Value/Effort Matrix will be grouped into 2x2 Priority Matrix in the list on the Board menu.

To customize your tasks you can use Custom Fields. Hygger has 4 different custom fields: Text, Date, Number and Drop-down. Once you create the custom field it’ll appear on the board tasks.

A collection includes boards grouped by certain criteria. You make the same steps to add or remove a collection as you've done with the project.
