Kanban View
A board view where records appear as cards grouped into columns by a Single Select or Dropdown field. Drag cards between columns to update the field value.
Configuration
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Stack by | Which Single Select or Dropdown field to group by |
| Visible fields | Which fields appear on each card |
| Uncategorized stack | Column for records without a value in the grouping field |
How it works
- Choose a Single Select or Dropdown field to stack by (e.g., "Status")
- Each option becomes a column (e.g., "To Do", "In Progress", "Done")
- Records appear as cards in their respective column
- Drag a card to a different column; the field value updates automatically
Common uses
| Stack by field | Use case |
|---|---|
| Status (To Do / In Progress / Done) | Task management |
| Stage (Lead / Qualified / Proposal / Closed) | Sales pipeline |
| Priority (Low / Medium / High / Critical) | Issue tracking |
| Assignee (team member names) | Workload distribution |
| Category (Bug / Feature / Improvement) | Product backlog |
Card configuration
Click the view settings to choose which fields appear on each card:
- Show 2-4 key fields for at-a-glance info
- Hide internal/technical fields
- Show the record title prominently
Tip
Kanban works best with 3-7 columns. More than 7 becomes hard to read horizontally. If you have many options, consider grouping them or using a different view.
View-specific settings
Each view has its own independent filter, sort, group, and hidden field settings. Changing settings in one view doesn't affect other views.
Creating a new view
- Click the + button next to the view tabs
- Select the view type
- Configure the view-specific settings
- Name the view (e.g., "My Tasks", "This Week", "Pipeline")
You can create multiple views of the same type. For example, three different Kanban views stacked by different fields.
Sharing views
Views can be shared individually:
- Share link: send a link to a specific view
- Embed: embed a specific view on a website
- Permissions: control who can see/edit each view
