Kanban Board

Kanban lets you visually depict state of entity records, using Codebooks or direct references as columns and individual entity records as cards. Allows users to use drag and drop to set states of entity records. Clicking on a card opens an entity detail page in a Modal window.

General​

  • Item entity – entity representing items presented on the Kanban board
  • Reference to column entity – a reference on item entity representing columns (state). Can be a Codebook or direct reference
  • Order attribute – a number attribute on item entity used for custom sorting of items in a column
  • Detail page for items – a detail page of a Kanban item
  • Visible expression – security condition for showing the Kanban board
  • Enabled expression – security condition for allowing the drag and drop functionality

Items​

  • Items data source expression – expression defining data source of Kanban items. Defaults to all records of selected entity.

    {
        if (item.Owner != null)
        {
            visuals.AddUserAvatar(item.Owner, "Assigned Owner");
        }

        visuals.AddTag(new Kanban.Tag(item.Importance.Name,
            (item.Importance == Importance.VIP) ? 
            Kanban.TagStyle.Danger : 
            Kanban.TagStyle.Info));

        visuals.AddIcon((item.Editable) ? AppIcon.Edit : AppIcon.Empty);
    }
