Using the Kanban View

The Kanban view is a way to visualise and manage data in a natural drag and drop manner. The example Kanban style screen below shows the open Opportunities:

The items can be dragged from lane to lane, depending on their status.

In some cases, like Opportunities – further options will appear when you drag items. You can drag Opportunities on to these items to either delete, mark as won, or mark as lost.  When you mark an Opportunity as lost – you can specify a loss reason.

Clicking on the gear icon on the right will reveal a menu that allows you to select the criteria for your view – you can choose the field that you want to sort records by and then choose which values will be displayed.

Clicking on the arrow next to a section heading will collapse the section – click the arrow again in the collapsed section to expand it to it’s original state.
