I'm studying the possibility for my team to move on ERPNext. I'm trying some functionalities to see what could ERPNext take care of.
One of these is the Kanban. ERPNext provides a built-in Kanban that can be customized. I was indeed able to create my own columns but I have several issues:
- First of all, there are more columns than the basic ones. Which break the front end (we can't scroll right). I suppose it can be fixed easily. unscrollable kanban
- Second, my tasks do not appear on the Kanban because I created new columns, and task's status options are linked to the column name I suppose, but I can't find a way to add more options. If I try to customize on the task form, I get an error
You can’t set ‘Options’ for field Status ERPNext. If I try to do it on task DocType, the field is grey and I can't modify it.
I found this github issue, If I understand correctly they want you to create a new set of options but it's not really customization ? - Finally, The kanban display your tasks by status. But would it be possible to have also the kanban displaying sections for each projects ? It is possible with RedMine, and really convenient for us since we have several projects with tasks that we want to see on a single page.
I feel like ERPNext really is powerful and customizable but it's quite hard to understand how they want us to really work. Thanks and happy new year !
