Easily linking to external systems
Currently we using a competing tool but are keen to work with your tool (after the recommendation of David Anderson) After playing around for a couple of hours one of the biggest draw backs that I have found is the lack of ability to use an identifier to link to an external system. We have an Issue Management system (and an in-house customer support system), accessed by a unique number/url. I understand that a link could be added into the description as a "link" but this is not easily visible on the card, and would need many "clicks" to get…

don't password-protect an export to Excel.
I was just trying to export to Excel (for now, just the project list). I can't resize the columns because the worksheet is protected. To unprotect, it asks me for a password. Why on earth would an exported spreadsheet of my data ask for a password that I don't know?
3 votesHi Ryan,
We have removed the password protection on the excel export. Thanks for your feedback on this.
We hope that this change would help you to use Swift-Kanban better.Thanks,

Visual time limit per lane
We would like to set a time limit per lane and have a visual signal if a card sits in lane too long. This is critical for monitoring Standard Work timings and allows us to 'pull the Andon cord' when work sits too long in a lane. We track phases of work in actual Value Stream phases (Prep,Deploy,Handoff) rather than Ready,Doing,Done. This allows us to see globally were every project is in the workflow.
3 votesHi Bors,
We already have due date field on the card and there is a board policy i.e “Highlight cards when they are within __days of their Deadline (Due Date/ Release Date)” which will highlight the cards approaching or crossed due date.
Do let us know if the above feature suffice you need or not.

Change the default view of a Project swim-lanes to collapsed.
Every time we edit a project or open a project the swim-lanes automatically expand. This is very frustrating if you have a lot of swim-lanes. It really slows down the editing function because you have to re-collapse all of the lanes after every change or before you even make the change (in order to de-clutter your screen with all of the other swim-lanes)e
3 votesHi Carl,
Thanks for your feedback. We have implemented this change in the Kanban Board editor now and the Swim-lanes stay at the same place when you are editing it.
Hope this will help you in using Swift-Kanban better and faster. Let us know if you have any other feedback/ suggestions.

Fix the paste bug from clipboard in the description of a card
This suggestion is about editing or entering the description of a card:
When pasting text from the clipboard, a number of problems often occur:
1) Some existing text is removed.
2) An underscore character is prepended to the pasted text.
3) The (keyboard) cursor is located somewhere completely different from the paste location (usually at the first character of the description).N.B. I use Chrome. My colleagues have the same problem.
3 votesHi Pieter,
We have fixed the mentioned issues.
Thanks for your help and feedback to improve SwiftKanban. We look forward to your continued support.

Support older version of Chrome
I access swift-kanban from my Android tablet, using Android 3.1 (the latest version). Unfortunately, your recent changes now prevent me from using my tablet and your app kicks me out for my old chrome version, which I cannot update.
Please support older versions of chrome.
3 votesHI Louis,
We recently removed the version check. You should be able to access Swift-Kanban on your tablet now. do let us know if you face any further issues.
Thanks.

Make editting easier
Instead of double clicking a row cell every time a field needs to be changed. It would be nice to have a "Edit" link somewhere on the page along the blue bar that enables everything on the page to be editable. This is very important when making mass changes...

Have an option on cards viewed in the inbox to jump to their board
It would be nice to have an option on the inbox row (primarily on "View All Items") and on the card itself that would allow a user to jump to the board that the card is located in.
By adding this, it will make it much easier to move tasks into different columns on their respective boards, as the current process in "clicks" is as follows:
- See the card and open it to see the task.
- Close the card.
- Click the hamburger icon.
- Click projects.
- Click the board the card belonged to.
The new process would be:
- See the card…

allow me to link to issues/cards via url
Currently I can't email someone a link to a certain card because urls never change according to navigation context.
It would be very helpful to have urls that describe the navigation context I'm in.3 votesHi Douglas,
This is just to update you that we have implemented this feature that you requested i.e. ability to share links/ URLs for cards and this is now available in the product.
Do give it a try and let us know if this is what you were expecting.
Thanks again for your feedback and suggestions. We hope that you’ll find this feature useful and use it.

Make adding people to the board more intuitive
The current set of steps to add a user to a board is:
1. Hover over the board name
2. Click Team Member
3. Click People Icon on the side
I find that most managers do not understand how to add team members without explanation.
It would be better to have an icon on the sidebar with a plus and the people so that they could add users without clicking to the Team Member page.3 votesHi Katie,
Some releases back we have provided add and invite functionality where the user can add and invite the user at the same time.

Add members to a task
In addition the owner must assign new members to the existing task in several areas of development, but we can not change or add members to participate effectively in the task.
Example: a person does the task analysis, one or more members do the development, another member performs validation, other tests. Every time you move the card can direct the task to a person and his picture appears on the card according to the person who is performing procedures at the time.3 votes -
Visual indication for critical cards in the two smaller card sizes
Crete a vistual indication for critial cards in the two smaller card sizes, just as you made to the blocked cards. Maybe it could be a little red star.
3 votesHi Clarinha,
Can you check if the Flag,Issue and Risk status on the card can help you out to highlight these cards on the board.

Unable to add a lane at the beginning of process
I can add a lane after the first lane but not before the first lane. I can add a sublane after the last sublane but not at the beginning or between

With the new board designer released in the new version i.e. Swift-kanban v1.1, you should be able to achieve this. Please do take a look at it and give us your feedback. -
Adjusting the width of columns
Add a capability to define the lane/column width.
Some lanes will not have the same flow but the number of columns are fixed for all lanes.
Some columns can contain a large number of cards which pushes other lanes out of view. It would be helpful if you could change the width of a particular column to position cards side by side.thanks,
Gabriel2 votesHello Gabriel,
Thanks for your feedback and voting on this idea. We have implemented this feature and you can now re-size the lanes by dragging the lane borders to the left or right. This feature is now live on the servers and hope it’ll be useful to you and your team.
Let us know if you have any feedback/ suggestion on this or any more ideas/ suggestions.
