# Boards
### Overview
The **Boards** button lets you work with TilliT board data in Excel. You can load board items (entries) for review or editing, or load and edit a board's field definitions (schema).
### Opening Boards
In the **TilliT V2** ribbon tab, click the **Boards** button.
The task pane will show any previously loaded board data sources, along with an **Add** button in the header.
### Choosing a Mode
Click **Add** to open the wizard. The first step asks you to select a mode:
| Mode | Description |
| ------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Board Items** | Load items (rows) from a single board into Excel |
| **Board Definition** | Load and edit the field schema for a single board |
| **All Board Definitions** | Load and edit field schemas for all boards — one row per field |
***
## Board Items
Use this mode to load the entries (items/rows) from a specific board.
#### Step 2: Select Board
Choose the board you want to load items from. Boards are listed under **Boards** and sections are listed under **Sections**.
#### Step 3: Filter (Optional)
Optionally filter which items to include based on the board's fields. Click **Next** to skip and load all items.
#### Step 4: Options
Set a **Sheet name** (defaults to the board name) and optionally set a **Records per page** limit (maximum 10,000 items).
Click **Load Data** to load the board items into Excel.
The board items will be loaded into a new sheet, with each board field as a column.
***
## Board Definition
Use this mode to load and edit the field schema (definition) of a single board.
#### Step 2: Select Board
Choose the board whose definition you want to edit.
#### Step 3: Filter
The filter step is skipped automatically for Board Definition mode. Click **Next** to continue.
#### Step 4: Options
Set a **Sheet name** and click **Load Data**.
The board's field schema will be loaded into a sheet, with one row per field.
***
## All Board Definitions
Use this mode to load the field schemas for all boards at once — useful for bulk editing across multiple boards.
#### Step 2: Select Board
This step is skipped automatically — all boards are included.
#### Step 3: Filter
The filter step is skipped automatically. Click **Next** to continue.
#### Step 4: Options
Set a **Sheet name** and click **Load Data**.
All board field definitions are loaded into a single sheet with one row per field, including a column identifying which board each field belongs to.
