Lanes of width 2 not being used to show two columns of cards...

[Berto2002]

I had hoped that having the lane with a width of 2 would mean the cards that were moved to that lane by the Business Process would stack-up into two columns so we would see more without having to scroll down. But they don't: they seem to just stack in a single column, which makes the double width pointless. Should it be working like this?

Hi,

You can specify the column within the lane by using the Lane Column option of the add to board operation, this should be supplied as a number which 0 indicates the first column, 1 the second etc.  If you don't specify the column it will always be added to the first column in the lane

Thanks

@TrevorHarris ok so if the lane is only used by one workflow, I can only ever have my cards appearing in the first lane (i.e. a single column); because I cannot tell the workflow to alternate the lanes every other Change Request to fill/use both lanes. And thus, the lane width option is not useful when the board is only used as a tracker for Cards moved exclusively by Service Manager Move Card nodes in worflow.

There is an enhancement opportunity here for there to be an 'alternate' or 'least used' option, perhaps, in that setting.

Interesting that the Board counts the right-most column as the first column in the lane; as per my screenshot. Those cards have arrived there in the right-most lane of 2-width lane without the lane option being specified in the node.

Hi Berto2002,

Can you post the settings that you have for the BPM node that adds the cards to this lane?

I am finding the same limitation as @Berto2002. For our change board I want to increase the width of particular columns and have the board utilise all the space. Not have to manually move cards between lanes in columns.

Any chance this can be looked at, people are stopping using the board due to what is being seen as limitations of the new system compared to the old system.

This would still be a useful one to fix as my 'Success' lane has so many changes in it but it's only one lane wide!
