Kanban Card Limits per Column

Is there a way to increase the number of cards in a column? For instance I have a "Task Completed" column but it maxes out at 50 even though my phase has 68 completed tasks. Thanks.

  • Hi Jaime,

    Currently the limits on Kanban reports are set to 50 per column. If you think that an increase in that number would be helpful I would suggest adding it as a request on our User Voice page and letting us know if there is a number that would work best. User Voice is our customer feedback platform that is used by our development team to look at customer requests and suggestions for enhancements and changes to features. Kanban reports and the way our customers use them is something the PD team is looking at very closely right now so its the ideal time to get a suggestion in.

    User Voice can most easily be accessed from the My Apps page in Quick Base by clicking on the orange Feedback tab or at http://quickbase.uservoice.com .  This forum is used by our development team to explore customer suggestions for enhancements / changes to the platform. If you do put in a user voice suggestion I always recommend posting the link back here in Community so other users that have the same need can add their votes and show support. 
  • Good morning Evan,
    Thank you for the response. I'll jump on uservoice and post a suggestion. Ideally I would like to use the Kanban for my application based on the interface but would definitely need to see more than 50 cards per column. Thanks for your help.

  • Hi Sharon (a.k.a. Ms. Quick Base Junky)

    Great Tips, thx for posting.

    I thought I would post one too.  So Rich text fields work, so i wondered if I could get a HTML button or icon to work to edit a record and refresh the page without gong into edit mode on the card (record)

    In my case I wanted to change the color bar to indicate my activity level on a project.  By that I man I'm in a client meeting and we are juggling my priorities, and I may have several projects at the highest priority level, but for one reason or another I'm kinda in idle mode waiting on the users for information to proceed.

    So, I decided that Green meant I was fully engaged, Yellow means just some light clean up, Blue mean sleeping - I'm waiting on others,  etc.  So I wanted a button to cycle the colors down, as I often start out gung ho in Green and then fall back to idle mode as the project gets turned over to the client for testing and feedback. 

    here is my formula HTML code

    var text NextColour = Case([Activity Level Colour],
    "", "green",
    "green","yellow",
    "yellow", "blue",
    "blue","grey",
    "grey","green");


    var text red = URLRoot() & "db/" & Dbid() & "?act=API_EditRecord&rid=" & [Project ID#]
    & "&_fid_50=" & $NextColour;



    var text Words = "<img src=https://images.quickbase.com/si/32/814-keyed_collection.png>";

    var text URL = "javascript:" &
    "$.get('" & 
    $red & 
    "',function(){" &
    "location.reload(true);" &
    "});";


    "<a href=" & $URL & ">" & $Words & "</a>"

      Very cool. Thanks. This will work well with the task report I do.

      Taking a queue from your code, I applied it to the Status field, to cycle through various task statuses. Ended up needing to add a URLEncode due to spacing between words and QB seems to occasionally 'glitch' when I press the button (opens the record to edit)... but all in all a very cool effect!

      var text NextStatus = Case([Status],
      "", "Not Started",
      "Not Started","In-Progress",
      "In-Progress", "Issue",
      "Issue","Completed",
      "Completed","Canceled",
      "Canceled","Not Started");

      var text red = URLRoot() & "db/" & Dbid() & URLEncode("?act=API_EditRecord&rid=" & [Task ID]
      & "&_fid_12=" & $NextStatus);

      var text Words = "<img src=https://images.quickbase.com/si/32/814-keyed_collection.png>";

      var text URL = "javascript:" &
      "$.get('" & 
      $red & 
      "',function(){" &
      "location.reload(true);" &
      "});";
