Board: Configure the default view

What is it? 

The ITONICS Board visually represents an information landscape that follows a particular process flow. By using columns the process flow can be represented from the start point over different stages to a final stage. On top, financial KPIs can be aggregated, coming from each content element listed on the board.

Please note: This feature needs to be activated by ITONICS. Please contact your Customer Success Manager for further assistance.

How does it work?

While your users will later have the option to customize the board to their needs, you need to provide them with a default configuration. Boards can be built on top of each entity. This also means that content displayed on the board will be always of the same entity type. 

To enable the Board Module in a certain entity, Go to the Settings Wheel > Entity Configuration > Entity Configuration. In the entity manager choose an entity and click on the Edit-Icon.

From the Kanban Board Configuration you can make changes to configure your default Board view:

  • Set the Kanban Board label to configure how it is represented in the menu. (1)
  • Set the default criteria for X-Axis as well for the Y-Axis of your Kanban Board. In order to do this, you have to create a new field within the entity via the field configuration/select an existing field of the type List Field > Dropdown > Is Rating Criteria? Yes (2)
  • Define the color criteria of your Kanban Board. The available criteria can be a dropdown field indicated as rating criteria or rating criteria that have been configured via the rating configuration (3)

    If you want to display dropdown fields, navigate first to the respective dropdown field in the field manager and check the box "Rating Criteria?" then. Afterward, you can also select such a dropdown field for the color and axis indication in the board configuration tab. (3)

  • Set up default fields for up to three dynamic labels (4) to be displayed on the element cards on your Kanban Board, and provide additional information for each element. Choose from the list of available fields applicable based on the Manage fields. The following field types can be added as dynamic labels:
    • Single-select and multi-select list fields (dropdown, searchable dropdown, pearl chain, pearl chain with check) - Note that only the first value of a multi-select field will be displayed on the card 
    • Date fields
    • Single-select user search fields
    • Single-select element search fields
  • Enable Rating criteria as filter options for the Kanban Board. The available criteria are based on the entity specific rating configuration. (5)
  • Enable the aggregation of KPI’s you capture in the Element and set default criteria. (6)
  • Set the default criteria for the KPI X-Axis as well as for the KPI Y-Axis of your Kanban Board. In order to do this, you have to create a new field within the entity via the field configuration/select an existing Numeric Field (7)
