What is the kanban view?

Kanban is a card-based view of your Projects, Opportunities, or Leads. With a selected pipeline at the top, the kanban view displays up to 200 records in movable cards below each stage of the pipeline.

Note: Kanban view only shows current leads and not leads that have been converted to opportunities and closed.

To view projects or opportunities in the Kanban view you'll need:

  • A pipeline
  • Projects or Opportunities assigned to the pipeline
  • A custom List View

To view your Projects, Opportunities, or Leads in a kanban view

  4. When switching from the grid view to the kanban view for the first time, the user will need to select a default pipeline. 
    To change the pipeline in the future, click the gear icon and select Choose Pipeline.
  5. You can move a Project or Opportunity to the next stage by clicking and dragging it over. When you drop it under a stage with activity sets, the tasks and events in the set will be created.

  6. A warning icon in the corner of a card means there are no tasks due in the near future, indicating that a customer or deal might need attention.
