Blocks: Status Board

Rows as cards in a column for each status, and dragging a card to change its status.

What's in this video

1. A Status Board shows rows as cards in columns, one column for each status, like a board on the office wall. Search for Status Board and click it.
2. Name it, and choose the list under Data source. Let's use the Leave list, holiday and sick days.
3. Status field decides the columns. Choose Status. There's a column for each status.
4. Card title field is the words on each card. Choose Staff, so each card shows who the request is for.
5. Make it wide enough for all the columns, then click Preview.
6. Each request is a card in the column for its status: what's been requested, and what's been approved.
7. To change a status, drag the card to another column. A manager approves a request by dragging it to Approved.
8. The change is saved straight away. A board works the same on any list with a status, such as sales leads or deliveries.
9. One exception: on a jobs list, cards can't be dragged. A job's status only changes with its Start and Close buttons, so its safety check can never be skipped.
