You can create guided Visual Task Boards, which are driven by data in your ServiceNow® instance. You can also create freeform boards that display a variety of information, or flexible boards, which combine both types.
There are three types of Visual Task Boards.  
{#vtb-types__table_mmq_vz3_vgb__entry__2}

| Board type | Description |
|-|-|
| [Freeform boards](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/J9sfJz0ZnaSvtNRKX0jpMw "You can add personal task cards directly to lanes on a freeform board. You can also add other kinds of task cards to a freeform board from a list or form.") | Display all types of task records, including personal tasks. Members of freeform boards can add and remove task cards and lanes. Freeform boards are indicated with the Freeform board icon ![Freeform board icon](). |
| [Flexible boards](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/9_Cz3uGj2UXYf1mvHwLHUg "You can add a task to a flexible or guided task board.") | Display tasks that match a filter against a particular table. Members of flexible boards can add task cards. Cards are removed automatically when the tasks no longer match the filter conditions. Members can define custom lanes, similar to a freeform board. Flexible boards are indicated with the Flexible board icon ![Flexible board icon](). |
| [Guided boards](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/9_Cz3uGj2UXYf1mvHwLHUg "You can add a task to a flexible or guided task board.") | Similar to flexible boards except that guided board lanes correspond to field values and cannot be edited in most cases. Guided boards are indicated with the Guided board icon ![Guided board icon](). |

All boards have the displayed elements. The color of a card represents the color you choose in the color palette for that board.
