Problem

User configured the tags field, to show the associated tags while configuring the Kanban for leads/Contacts/Organization. But, the tags field appears empty without any tags.

Reason

This issue appears specifically in Vtiger 7.1 and earlier versions. The reason behind this issue is that the tag retrieval via webservice/query was not available prior 7.2. This was new feature added in 7.2 release. That's why 7.1 tags do not appear in Vtiger 7.1

Solution

This issue was fixed in Vtiger 7.2 and later versions and they do show the tags when configured in the Kanban view

Question

Can a user set multiple Kanban for a module?

Answer

A single user cannot configure multiple kanbans based on different picklists for a single module.

Whenever a user configures a new kanban for a new list or filter, it will override the previously set configurations for that kanban.

Let's take an example,

First, we will set a kanban for leads lists named as "leads based on color"

It will appear something like this

Now, we configured another list by the name of "Leads remaining", this time the kanban is configured on the basis different of lead sources. It will appear as following

But, once the configuration of the Kanban is changed, the Kanban view of all the lists is updated to the latest Kanban configurations

So, a user cannot set up multiple Kanban's for a module based on multiple picklist fields

Question

Can different user configure different kanban for the same module based on different fields?

Answer

Yes different users can set up different kanban in the same module, based on different picklists

Let's take an example, User A wants to configure the picklist based on the color picklist field, while another User B wants to configure the picklist based on the lead source

User A kanban view

User B kanban view

Hence, two different users can set up different kanban's in the same module based on different picklist fields. However, a user can only access/see the Kanban view that he configured himself.

Moreover, each user cannot configure multiple Kanban in a same module using different picklist fields

Question

Can we change the color of the header of the Kanban view from gray to something else?

Answer

It is possible but requires a "color code" change in the files. 1. Locate the file: http://yourURL/layouts/v7/modules/KanbanView/css/kanbanStyle.css (open it with your preferred editor). 2. Change the value in .kbBoxHeader from "background: #3498DB;" to "background: #b31f1f!important;".

Screenshot:

3. The #b31f1f is the color code (replace it with your preferred color code). Make sure to add !important; as it is required for the new color to apply. 4. Clear your cache and you should be good.
