Kanban Swimlanes: Organize Tasks by Any Field

Group your kanban board by any field to create swimlanes. Organize by assignee, priority, sprint, or any custom field for better visual organization.

What Changed

BrainBox's kanban boards now support swimlanes, allowing you to group cards horizontally by any field.

Group By Any Field

Create swimlanes using:
  • Assignee: See each person's tasks at a glance
  • Priority: Focus on high-priority items first
  • Multi-select: Group by tags, labels, or custom fields
  • Creator: Track who created what
  • Visual Improvements

  • Clear swimlane headers with card counts
  • Collapsible lanes for focus
  • Smooth drag-and-drop between lanes
  • Smart Filtering

    Combine swimlanes with filters to create powerful views:
  • "My high-priority tasks this sprint"
  • "Unassigned bugs by component"
  • "Team tasks grouped by status"
  • Why It Matters

    Kanban boards are great, but flat views can become overwhelming. Swimlanes add a second dimension of organization, making it easier to understand and manage your work.

    How to Use

    Open the board view options and select "Group by" to choose your swimlane field. Each unique value becomes a swimlane row.
