Kanban Report Card Grouping

It seems as if cards in a Kanban report are based on the 'Text' type.  However; it seems as if I can not group cards with a 'Formula - Text' field.  Am I missing something?  Or is this not allowed?

Thanks in advance.

  • Hi Rob 

    If you use text with list enabled you can drag and drop the tiles to have them change which list item they are under i.e you have a list of:
    - To Do
    - Freeze,
    - Work In Progress
    - Accept
    - Done 

    You can drag the items between each as you choose, for instance from To Do to Work In Progress

    I suspect you won't be able to use Text Formula field as it wouldn't allow for the primary function of a KANBAN report.

    cheers,

      You could use an Automation to push a formula result into the text field your kanban is based on, so that cards can automatically update status.

  • O.I.C.  - Thanks, Josh.  You are correct.  I didn't even think about the drag-drop functionality.  What a cool feature!  This has exposed a small flaw in my table architecture.  I'll do a quick re-design to take advantage of this.
