Kanban dynamic columns?

[hughg]

Looking at the WW docs it seems that the WW Kanban cannot generate columns dynamically? You have to effectively hardcode the columns? In most cases though, you need t generate a Kanban based on a variable amount of status/field values, so need to vary the columns that are displayed, not hard code them…

Is it definitely not possible to dynamically generate the columns with this Kanban component. If not, is there another WW component that can generate columns dynamically

Use this button to input dynamic columns

ah ok … thanks. But the WW kanban documentation also only describes the harcode stacked columns use case…

so presumably I have to bind to the collection and then some kind of label:value format but what is that format? there is nothing in the WW documentation for this?

[thomlov]

I believe that you add a collection like normal, and after adding that collection you will get a new option to select what items in that collection should be Label and Value.
Just try binding it, and you will see what I mean.

ok so I can see the Label and Value selection now after binding … but when I select the “status” value I want to base the kanban grouping on, the kanban component does not group the items in the collection… it simply lists all the items in one row on the Kanban. Is there anywhere else where you have to direct the component to group by the selected Value field…
