Views - Kanban

The Kanban view provides a visual, card-based interface for managing workflow-oriented content. Cards can be dragged between columns, edited directly, and organized by any taxonomy.

All settings for the Kanban view are configured through the sidebar on the right when editing a view.

General Settings

Name

The display name for this view. This name appears in the tab navigation when multiple views are configured for the same post type.

Type

Select "Kanban" as the view type. This determines the available configuration options and how content is displayed.

Disable view

Toggle this option to temporarily disable the view from rendering in the admin. The view configuration is preserved, but it won't appear in the admin interface.

Data

Filter the data of the view before it is being rendered. See Data Filtering for detailed information on creating filters.

Columns

Taxonomy

Select which taxonomy should be used for the board categories (columns). The terms of this taxonomy will become the columns in your Kanban board.

For example, if you select a "Project Status" taxonomy with terms like "To Do", "In Progress", and "Done", your Kanban board will have three columns representing these statuses.

Allow sorting

Enable drag-and-drop sorting within columns. When enabled, cards can be reordered within the same column by dragging.

Show add button

Display the "Add" button in each column. When enabled, users can create new posts directly from the Kanban view by clicking the add button in any column.

Show Uncategorized column

Display a column for items that haven't been assigned to any term in the selected taxonomy. This is useful for managing unorganized content.

Column Configuration

Each column can be individually configured with custom colors and visibility settings. Expand a column to access its settings:

• Custom Color: Set a unique color for the column to visually distinguish different workflow stages
• Visibility: Hide specific columns from the board view

Cards

Taxonomy

Select which taxonomy should be used for card categories. The terms of this taxonomy will be displayed as category labels on each card.

This is separate from the column taxonomy and provides additional organization within cards.

Show view Button

Display a "View" button on each card. When enabled, users can click to view the post in the frontend (if applicable).

Note: The view button will not be shown when using a shortcode embed.

Show edit Button

Display an "Edit" button on each card. When enabled, users can click to open a modal and edit the card content directly from the Kanban view.

Note: The edit button will not be shown when using a shortcode embed.

Show upvotes

Enable the upvote system on cards. When enabled, users can upvote cards, and the vote count will be displayed. This is particularly useful for feature requests or feedback boards.

Filter

Show search

Enable the search box for quick filtering of cards across all columns.

Show sort options

Display sorting options for the cards. Users can sort cards by date, title, votes, or other criteria.

Comments

Show comments

Display the comments section on cards. When enabled, users can view existing comments on each card.

Allow comments

Enable users to add new comments to cards. This creates threaded discussions directly on the Kanban board.

Comments support nesting, allowing for conversational threads within each card.

Conditions

Control the visibility of the entire Kanban view based on user roles, environment, or other conditions. See Conditions for detailed information.
