Kanban Board & Workflow Management

Configuring status columns, swimlanes, card appearance, and quick preview drawer.

The Kanban board in Corexar provides an intuitive visualization of task lifecycles, enabling drag-and-drop movement across stages while strictly adhering to workflow transition rules.

Adding and Configuring a Kanban Board

Kanban boards are added to collection pages through the Page Builder:

  1. Open the collection page and click "Customize Page" to enter the Page Builder.
  2. Add a block of type "Kanban".
  3. Under the column grouping option, select a Select characteristic (e.g., Status or Stage).
  4. Configure swimlanes if needed: none, grouped by Assignee, or grouped by Epic.

Card Appearance & Layout Customization

Tailor card presentation to your team workflow via the Card Settings modal:

  • Field Pills — select which characteristics appear on the card face (priority, due date, assignee, estimate).
  • Cover Images — toggle thumbnail display with Small, Medium, or Large sizing presets.
  • Compact Mode — removes excess padding to fit maximum task density on screen.
  • Column Behavior — choose between adaptive column widths or fixed-width columns with internal scrolling.

Quick Preview Drawer

Clicking any card on the board slides open an instant Preview Drawer. View and edit fields, reassign owners, leave comments, and attach files without losing your place on the board.

Tip. Dragging a card across columns enforces state machine transition guards: if a required field is missing or your user role is restricted, Corexar displays a guided prompt.
