Before starting you must read and follow the instructions in the New View help page. |

2. Add a Filter so your Kanban only displays the instances you require. You can either select a filter or create a new one (For more on how to create a filter please read the Filters help file.
3. You will then need to set the X & Y attribute for your Kanban View
a. Select your X axis grouping attribute, for this example we will use the Status Attribute of Object Type ‘Business Term’
This will bring a list of Object Type specific Attributes. Below the example is for Business Terms. For general Attributes click ‘Generic Attributes’
b. To restrict the Attribute to a Community, click the ‘Communities’ field. If you wish the Attribute to be viewed by all leave this field blank
c. You can now choose whether the Icon has a Click Behaviour. There are 5 options:
i. Context:
ii. None: Nothing will happen when the Property is clicked
iii. Open In Panel: A side panel will pop out
iv. Navigate To: Redirected to a new page displaying the set view
v. Open In Dialogue: The set view pops up in a box in the centre of the screen
d. Open In Panel, Navigate To & Open In Dialogue require you to set a View to navigate to. Clicking in the ‘View’ field allows you to select a View by searching by name, select from a list or create a new view. The most common choice is ‘Default View For Type’
e. Repeat for Step 4a – 4d for your Y axis
4. Next you will need to select which Attributes are displayed within your Kanban cards.
a. Generic Attributes are Attributes that are in all Object Types
b. If you want to display Attributes that are only of the Object Type you’re creating your display view for. You can either select the Object Type manually or search for a specific term
c. This will bring a list of Object Type specific Attributes. Below the example is for Business Terms
5. To allow users to change the Attribute there is a checkbox labeled ‘Editable’. Unselecting this box will lock the Property
6. To restrict the Attribute to a Community, click the ‘Communities’ field. If you wish the Property to be viewed by all leave this field blank
