Kanban View

You can use kanban view to group your records. It is an ideal view to help you efficiently manage workflow.

Creating a kanban view

To create a kanban view, click the "Add view" button in the tab bar of the datasheet, and select "Kanban view" from the option menu.

create_kanban_view


The kanban view is created based on select/member type fields. If there is no existing select or member type field in the datasheet, you need to create one. For the "Member" field type, only the value of single member can be used to create stacks, which means you need to toggle off "Allow adding multiple members" when creating a member field.

create_stack_type


If you don't have a select field, you will be prompted to create one. After you choosing to create a new select field, the system will automatically provide default single select options for you to stack by, which includes values of incomplete, in progress, and done.
