Type

Desktop tile

(Plus)

Entity tile

(Plus) available for the following entities: all

Description

The info tile "Kanban activities" supports the user in managing his tasks according to the Kanban method. Here the individual tasks are created as activities. This makes it possible to set deadlines for tasks and keep track of them via the tile.

Layout

Moving of tasks

By moving a task to another lane, the status of the task can be changed. When the task is placed, a dialog appears that shows the user a list of possible statuses. The user can now set and confirm the status, or discard the dialog so that the task is moved back to its original lane.

Filtering

The tile offers a filter function that can be used to search for all displayed texts. The contents of the tasks are not browsed.

Compressed view

With the button you can compress the view so that only the most important information (title, status) is displayed. This gives the user a better overview when the tile represents many tasks.

Tasks of all employees

If the tile is used as an entity tile, the user is shown the tasks of other employees in addition to his own tasks. In a project, for example, the progress can be viewed based on the tasks. A button allows you to switch between the view of your own tasks and the tasks of all employees.

Marking of due and overdue tasks

A parameter (see below) can be used to specify the time period in which the user is visually notified that a task is due soon. These tasks are highlighted in yellow. If a task is already overdue, i.e. the end date is in the past, this task is highlighted in red. This does not apply to tasks that have already been completed.

Work in progress

To limit the number of tasks started, their number can be limited by a configuration parameter (see below). If the number of tasks is exceeded, the "In progress" lane is colored yellow. It is still possible to start other tasks.
