How to create a Kanban board view for Deals

Review your pipeline stage by stage, move deals with drag and drop, and edit fields without leaving the board.

A table works well to manage records. It is less suited to a pipeline review. The Kanban board shows your deals by stage, so you can see the whole pipeline at a glance and move deals as they progress.

⚠️ Kanban is available on Deals only for now.

Create a Kanban view

  1. Go to Deals

  2. Create a new view

  3. Choose Kanban as the view type

  4. Choose the status that defines your columns: Deal stage or AI Status

A No status column groups the deals that have no value for the selected status.

💡 The view type is set when you create the view. You cannot switch an existing Table view to Kanban, or the other way around. Your existing views stay as tables.

Move deals with drag and drop

  • Drag a card to another column to change its stage or AI Status

  • Drag a card within a column to reorder it

Read a deal card

Each card shows the company logo, the deal name and the fields you chose to display. A chip shows how long the deal has been in its current stage. Hover it to see when the deal moved to that stage.

Click a card to open the deal in a drawer. The board stays in place behind it.

Edit fields from the card

You can edit fields directly on the card. Select fields and the owner open a dropdown. Number, text and date fields open a compact input.

  • Press Enter or click outside to save

  • Press Escape to cancel

Customize the board

Open the view menu and select Edit Kanban layout. From there you can:

  • Change the field used to group the columns

  • Show or hide columns, including No status

  • Show or hide field labels on cards

  • Hide empty fields

  • Add, remove and reorder the fields shown on cards

Add a column calculation

Each view can display one calculation in the footer of every column. Available calculations:

  • Count empty or filled

  • Percent empty or filled

  • Sum, Average, Max and Min, for numeric fields only

Current limits

  • Columns can only be based on Deal stage or AI Status. Custom status fields are not supported yet.

  • Column colors reuse the existing status colors.

  • Kanban is not available on Meetings, Companies or Contacts.
