Kanban Board for Dynamics 365 CRM

Kanban Board is a productivity app to visualize your Dynamics 365 and PowerApps
data in a Kanban View. Records are categorized and systematically arranged in compact
movable cards in multiple lanes for quick review and easy analysis. Further, it helps to update
the underlying field values of records through easy drag & drop capability and perform quick
actions to record activities like Email, Task or Phone Call in just one click. It is a control
that can be configured for any View in Dynamics 365 CRM and CDS environment.
The Kanban view shows opportunities as cards. The lanes in the Kanban view represent the default
statuses or business process flow stages of opportunities. The opportunity cards within the swim
lanes show where in the process the opportunities are. You can drag the opportunities to different
lanes to move them from one status or stage to another.

There are two types of Kanban views that are available for opportunities:

Based on the business process flow stage (default view).
Based on the Opportunity status.

You can switch between the views by selecting the Kanban type from the Kanban type drop-down list.

In the status-based Kanban view, each swim lane represents a default opportunity status such as, Open, Won, or Lost.
