Enabling Kanban View

    openOppView
  2. Then, select Custom Controls to change to a Kanban view
    selectCustomControls
  3. Select Kanban and make sure it’s selected for all device types
    selectKanban
    clickOK
    Finally, just Save and Publish.

Using Kanban View

Now, once changes are published, on your My Open Opportunities view (you should already see it in Kanban). If not, select the Show As to show Kanban as an option and then select Kanban.
showAs
selectKanbanFromView

Once done, you can select the Kanban type i.e. based on Business Process Flow or based on the Stage of the Opportunity.

How to Read the Kanban View

In the below, screenshot, the value denotes the total of the relevant Amount in that stage. Say, total of Estimated Revenue when an Opportunity is Open and the one on the right denotes total records that can be currently seen against how many records are actually present in that stage

Based on Status

Now, the Kanban view based on Status will let you move your Opportunity between two statuses. Say, in this example, the status is in Open, you want to mark it as Won.
dragStatus

And when you drop it on the Won status, the Opportunity Close dialog will appear where you can just fill in the required information and just close.

Based on Business Process Flow

And in Business Process Flow type, you can just move the Opportunity between different stages of the BPF

Moving the card to either direction will open up the actual record itself to make the final change.

Hope this post helps you get started!! 🙂
