Filter Bar
In addition to the kanban board itself, Kanbanara has also been developed around a global filter bar that allows you to slice and dice the cards displayed on the kanban board and other visualisation pages. It allows you to select what cards actually get displayed on your kanban board, listview or standup, be they for a particular project, team member, release, iteration or card type, to mention just a subset of the available options. Should you see a number above a particular filter setting, this tells you how many cards are being filtered out as a result of this setting being set as it is.
Filter Bar Settings
Card Style
This option allows you to select any one of the 44 card styles available to display on the kanban board. The list of card styles is split into two groups - full and placeholder. Those in the full list will have every applicable cards displayed in the style selected. Those in the placeholder list will only display those cards possessing the attribute selected, the rest being displayed as placeholders.
Flight Levels
This option allows you to display only those cards assigned to the flight levels selected. The three selectable flight levels are:
