Kanban component

Track work by stage in a Kanban.

Use a Kanban component on a page when records move through clear stages. It works well for tasks, leads, approvals, and support tickets.

Before you add a Kanban component, make sure your table has:

• One field that defines the stage or status
• Clear values for each stage
• Optional fields for card details, colors, or thumbnails

Use one clear Single-choice field, such as Status, to define the columns. This keeps the board easy to understand.

Add a Kanban component to a page

1

Open the Add tab

In the Settings panel, open Add.

2

Add Kanban

Under Views, drag Kanban to the preferred location on the page.

3

Configure the Kanban

In the component Settings:

• Choose the source Table.
• Choose the Single-choice field that defines the columns in Group by field.
• Filter if you want to show only a selection of records.

4

Review the result

Check whether the columns and cards show the records you expect. Then drag the component to move it on the page. Use the resize handles to adjust its size.

Kanban component settings

In Settings, you can define the basic component details:

• Label for the title shown on the component
• Internal name is filled automatically. Change it only if needed and carefully. When you script, you use Internal name, not Label.

Under Behavior, configure how the board works on the page:

• Table to choose the source table
• Group by field to choose the Single-choice field that defines the columns
• x hidden columns to control which fields Ninox shows on the cards, search for fields, and use Hide all or Show all
• Filter to limit which records users can see with one or more conditions
• Show empty lane to show columns even when they contain no records
• Show search field to show a search field at the top of the board

Under Visibility, choose how the component is shown on the page:

• Visible to show the component on the page
• Hidden to hide the component on the page
• Conditional to define a Visibility condition that controls when the component is shown or hidden

  Use Conditional when the Kanban should appear only in specific cases.

  Build the condition based on Fields and Tables.

  This only affects what is shown on the page. It does not change records or permissions.

To remove a component from a page, select the component, then click Delete component in the blue menu above it.
