Kanban Board

Overview

From the planning board in BOS Enterprise, you can navigate to an interface that lists all the jobs for a specific Stage. The Stage selected depends on the record you clicked on.

On the Kanban Board, jobs can be dragged and dropped from one Production Status to another (e.g. from Ready to Busy).

The Completed column only displays tasks from Work Orders that are neither Complete nor Cancelled.

Navigation: Main Menu > Production Planning > Menu (button) > Board > Right-click a record > Select Open Kanban Board.
