What Is Kanban View in Opportunities?

Kanban View lets you manage opportunities visually by pipeline stage while using controls like collapse, resize, and sort.

What Kanban View Does

Kanban View displays each pipeline stage as a column. Each opportunity appears as a card inside the stage where it currently belongs. This helps teams see deal progress, identify active stages, and manage opportunities directly from the board.

Key Benefits

Kanban View helps teams manage pipeline activity visually.

Benefits include:

  1. Visual pipeline management
    View opportunities by stage so deal progress is easier to understand.

  2. Cleaner workspace
    Collapse inactive stages and resize columns to reduce clutter.

  3. Faster prioritization
    Sort opportunities by default fields or supported custom fields.

  4. Personalized layout
    Your board layout preferences are saved in your browser.

  5. Flexible workflow
    Switch between Kanban View and List View based on how you want to review opportunities.


How to Collapse or Expand Stages

Collapse stages when you want to hide inactive or low-priority parts of the pipeline.

  1. Open Opportunities.

  2. Make sure you are in Kanban View.

  3. Find the stage column you want to adjust.

  4. Click the stage header control to collapse or expand the stage.

Collapsed stages keep the board tidy. Expanded stages make opportunity cards easier to review.


How to Resize Stage Columns

Resize stage columns when one stage needs more or less screen space.

  1. In Kanban View, hover over the edge of a stage column.

  2. Drag the divider left or right.

  3. Repeat for any other stage columns.

  4. Double-click the divider to reset the column to its default size.

Wider columns are useful for busy stages. Narrower columns help reduce clutter.


How to Sort Opportunities

Sorting helps you prioritize opportunity cards by timing, value, or custom business data.

  1. Click Sort at the top of the Opportunities page.

  2. Select the field you want to sort by.

  3. Choose ascending or descending order.

  4. Review the reordered opportunities.


Supported Sorting Fields

Kanban View supports sorting by default fields and supported custom fields.

Supported fields include:

  1. Created On

  2. Last Updated

  3. Single Line custom fields

  4. Multi Line Text custom fields

  5. Dropdown custom fields

  6. Radio Select custom fields

  7. Number custom fields

  8. Monetary custom fields

  9. Phone custom fields

  10. Date custom fields


Saved Layout Preferences

Kanban View saves layout preferences automatically in your browser.

Saved preferences include:

  1. Collapsed or expanded stages

  2. Resized stage column widths

These preferences apply only to your own browser view. They do not change the view for other users.


Best Practices for Kanban View

  • Collapse inactive or rarely used stages to reduce clutter. Expand and widen active stages so important opportunity cards are easier to scan.

  • Use sorting to bring high-priority or recently updated opportunities to the top.

  • Switch to List View when you need detailed row-based review.
