Kanbanoo is embedded in the M-Files client listing area as shown below.
Kanbanoo is available in the M-Files Desktop client and with limited feature set in the M-Files classic web client. Kanbanoo is not yet available in the new vNext clients, but we are working on this. Kanbanoo is not available in mobile clients due to lack of User Extensibility API.
Top Panel
The top panel of Kanbanoo shows the Kanbanoo logo and four buttons. Clicking on the Kanbanoo logo will open the default browser with the Kanbanoo User Guide.
The first three buttons affect the display of Kanban cards:
Expand Cards
Checking Expand Cards will enlarge all Kanban cards to show additional information if present:
The files contained in the M-Files objects (if the object is a multi-file document)
The assignment description
A list of documents with relationship to the card
Show Title Images
When this button is checked you enable the display of so-called Title Images on Kanban cards. Each Kanban card can have one such title image and the image can be either the M-Files object itself (if it is an image file) or if it is a multi-file document one of its constituent (image) files. You can select the title image from each card's context menu (right click the card).
The Title Images features is currently not available in the M-Files web client due to limitations in the M-Files API.
Show Child Cards
(deprecated since v2.8.4) When Show Child Cards is selected Kanbanoo will scan each displayed M-Files object for related objects (including separate assignments) and display the number of each object type on the card next to its object type icon. For the currently selected card the related objects will be shown as smaller cards immediately below the parent card. Managers can select which object types are displayed as child cards in the board configuration dialog.
The Refresh button updates the Kanbanoo display by reloading data and settings from the M-Files server.
The Hamburger menu pops out a menu with Settings, a set of introductory tutorials, a link to the online User Guide (this page) and a Feedback dialog.
Main Area
Below the top panel Kanbanoo shows one or more Kanban boards.
Each Kanban board consists of a board header and one or more columns.
The board header displays the name of the M-Files workflow or "Assignments" if it shows only M-Files assignments (with no workflow).
The board columns each have a header and an area for displaying Kanban cards.
Each column corresponds to exactly one workflow state and displays its name and icon (if set) in the column header. The number of cards contained in a column is displayed in parentheses after the column name.
The Kanban cards in each column represent M-Files objects that are in the corresponding workflow and workflow state.
M-Files objects that have no workflow and are not assignments are not displayed in Kanbanoo.
Just like M-Files, Kanbanoo's context menus significantly expand the number of actions you can perform without cluttering the user interface. The following user interface elements have context menus, we encourage users to explore them.
Cards - actions affecting a single card, described here. Right click a card to open its context menu.
Columns - actions affecting a whole column, typically how it is displayed, described in Managing Board Columns. Right click the column title bar to open its context menu.
