Kanban View

Overview

The Kanban view organizes records into vertical columns (lanes) based on a field value. Cards can be dragged between lanes to update the grouping field — perfect for workflow tracking, status management, and task boards.

Columns and swimlanes

Field-based grouping

The most common setup groups cards by a Select column (e.g., "Status" with values "To Do", "In Progress", "Done"). Each unique value becomes a lane.

Configure grouping with:

  • groupBy — The column to group by
  • groupOrder — Custom lane ordering
  • hideEmptyGroups — Hide lanes with no cards
  • collapsedGroups — Lanes to collapse by default

Weekday-based grouping

For date-driven workflows, the kanban can group by weekdays:

RangeDescription
Current weekLanes for Monday through Sunday of the current week
Next weekLanes for next week's days
Both weeksCurrent and next week combined
Custom rangeSpecify start and end dates

Configure with groupType: "weekdays", dateField, and weekRange.

Drag and drop

Drag a card from one lane to another to update its grouped field value. For example, dragging a card from "To Do" to "In Progress" automatically updates the record's status field.

Cards can also be reordered within a lane. The sort order within groups is configurable via sortWithinGroups.

Card display

Configure which fields appear on each card using displayFields. Cards show the configured fields as a compact summary. Conditional formatting applies color to cards based on field value conditions.

Configuring card fields

The Campos ("Fields") tab in the view configuration splits fields into two lists:

  • No cartão ("On the card") - the chosen fields, in the order they render on the card.
  • Disponíveis ("Available") - the remaining eligible fields.

The order in "No cartão" is the render order on the card - drag the grip to reorder. The 1st field renders as the card title (primary style), the 2nd as secondary text, and the rest as meta lines.

Toggling a field on in "Disponíveis" appends it to the end of "No cartão". Toggling a field off removes it without disturbing the order of the others.

With no fields chosen, the card automatically shows the first 3 non-hidden columns.

Users can still hide fields at runtime from the view menu - this filters the displayed list but preserves the configured order of the remaining fields.
