Version 6.2 - What's New This Month? (May, 2018)

Some of the major changes that help improve the UX are as follows:  

 

1. The Board name has a visible drop-down menu and a search option is available. Use the downward arrow to expand the menu with your boards. The board you are currently working with is highlighted on the menu.  

 

 

2. The Search tool has been slightly modified to match the new design of the application header.

 

To open the advanced search facility click on the magnifying glass icon (1). To load some of your saved searches, click on the arrow icon (2).

 

3. Better looking and more comprehensive In-App Notifications with card events. 

 

(1) The new Notifications icon will show how many notifications are present

(2) The settings link will open the Notification Settings panel

(3) Mark all notifications and mentions as read

(4) A link to seeing all the notifications with more details 

 
4. The Board sidebar to the right of the board interface displays the most frequently used features and gives you a click to access them. The following features are available (top-to-bottom order): 

(1) Create a Card/Initiative (2) Board Filter (3) My Queue and Worklog (4) Related Boards (5) Board Background (6) Import Cards (7) Configure Card View (8) Invite users (9) An ellipsis that denotes additional features: Calendar, Board Settings, Board screenshot.  

 

 

Some further feature improvements have been made: 

(1) Create a card - users can create а new card and/or an Initiative via the "plus" button on the top of the new sidebar. 

• If the user has activated both the Card Workflow and the Initiatives workflow, upon selection of the "plus" icon, the feature prompts you to decide if you want to create a card or an Initiative.
• If the user operates with the Cards workflow only and the Initiative workflow is not activated, they can create only cards via the "plus" icon and vice versa.

(2) Import Cards -  the cards can be imported to Kanbanize with an old date so that Project Managers will not lose the track of metrics and can take advantage of the Kanbanize analytics modules.

(3) Invite users -  use this icon to navigate to the Invite Users panel. Type in an email address to send a direct email invitation to your company Kanbanize account or search for a person in the account by username or email address. The top side of the panel displays all users, which are members of the board. To make an existing user a member of this board,  just type in their name in the text box, specify the role and use the "Add to the Board" button. 

3. Search for tasks in the whole account in the Mobile Apps 

The Search Filters have been introduced to the mobile apps. In addition to that, you can also make custom searches in the whole account - just tap the magnifying glass on the dashboard and enter any search term to be matched against a card's id, title, description, assignee or tags.

4. Other Product Improvements 

• Right-click on the Initiatives workflow to create a new Initiative via the Context menu. 
  
  
• Users can white label their company names on the top left side of the account Dashboard. Just click on the icon to turn it into an editable text box and input the respective company name.
