Business Process Flow:

Kanban Board enables users to organize and categorize records of a given entity in Kanban view as per the Business Process Flow defined for that entity. A Business Process Flow comprises stages that are followed while any transaction goes through various transition phases. For example, in ‘Opportunities’ entity users can select the Business Process Flow defined for the entity and get the Kanban view of records at various stages of the process. Users can also pin Business Process Flows defined for a specific entity using Global or Personal pins.

Row Grouping:

Users can now categorize and group records in row based on any field value. For example, depending upon on priority – High, Normal, Low, Other. The cards (records) can be dragged and dropped from one row to another. As a result, the field of that record is updated in both lane & row. Moreover, users can also expand / collapse these rows as per their need to display information through a toggle icon beside the row title. Similarly, through the icon beside lane header users can toggle all the rows in a lane.

Users can drag and drop the cards across columns to quickly update the values of the underlying category field. Kanban Board presents a Kanban view of the records presented as compact cards.
