Overview

The Payload Kanban plugin serves as a versatile tool designed to enhance project management by integrating a kanban board into the Payload framework. Although still in the early stages of development, the plugin promises to bring a more organized approach to managing documents by leveraging the kanban methodology. The ongoing updates and features outlined in the roadmap indicate that the creators are committed to continuously improving the plugin for users.

Features

• Kanban Status Field: Introduces a new field called kanbanStatus, providing a way to track the current state of documents independent of the traditional draft/publish system.
• Customization Options: While currently limited, there are plans for customizable card properties that go beyond basic display options.
• Direct Relationship Editing: Future updates aim to allow users to edit relationships directly from the kanban card, making user assignments more intuitive.
• Toggleable Columns: Users can view posts without a kanbanStatus, ensuring that no documents are overlooked while providing flexibility in workflow management.
• Lazy Loading Support: Plans for lazy loading of column contents will improve performance by only loading cards that are in view, enhancing user experience.
• Status Validation: The plugin will include validation features for changing statuses, ensuring proper workflow adherence and preventing errors.
• Integration Possibilities: There is potential for integration with the draft/publish system, which could offer greater synergy within the Payload environment as development progresses.
