Customizing Kanban Board Groupings in Glide
Updated over 5 months ago

Using Custom Grouping in Kanban Collections allow you to change the order your groups appear, as well as adding custom names to each column that differ from the column names in your data.

To create a Kanban collection with custom grouping:

  1. Open your Glide app's Layout Editor and navigate to the page where you want to include the Kanban board.

  2. Add the Kanban collection by clicking the plus (+) symbol in the Components panel and selecting Kanban from the Collections section.

  3. Configure your data source by selecting where your data is coming from.

  4. In the Configuration section, in the “Group by” field, select the column where you saved the values you want to use to categorize the Kanban board. For example, if you want to categorize tasks by status, choose the column where the statuses are stored.

  5. Set up Custom Groups:

    • In the Kanban component settings, find the Custom Groups section.

    • Click on 'Add item' to start creating groups. Glide will automatically provide a default 'Uncategorized' group that is not linked to any of the columns in your datasheet.

    • Start adding the values by which you want to group the data. For example, if you want to categorize tasks by status, enter the categories in the "Value" field. The values must be an exact match as in the data editor (if you have statuses named "In Progress" and "Completed," the values you should enter are "In Progress" and "Completed"). Glide will automatically recognize the values under your entered status and group them accordingly.

    • You can add as many groups as you need.
