# Workshop Kanban Board Visual Pipeline Management
The Kanban board is an alternate view of the Maintenance Tracker that shows all in-shop units organized into columns by their current workshop status. Rather than scrolling a table, you see every unit at every stage simultaneously ideal for daily stand-ups and real-time shop floor management.
Switching to Kanban View
On the Maintenance Tracker page, find the Table | Kanban toggle in the top-right corner. Click Kanban to switch. The view persists until you toggle back.
Kanban Layout
The board has seven columns, one per workshop status stage:
Each column header shows the status name, its color chip, and the current count of units in that stage.
Unit Cards
Each unit is represented by a card showing:
Moving Units Between Stages
Using the arrows: The ← and → buttons on each card move the unit exactly one stage backward or forward. This triggers an immediate database update and the board refreshes. A toast confirms the status change.
The ← button is disabled for units in Reported. The → button is disabled for units in Done.
Using the activity modal: Log a Status Change activity for more granular control, including skipping stages.
Filtering in Kanban View
The status filter chips above the view apply in Kanban mode select a specific status to see only that column. Click All to see all columns. The search field filters which cards appear across columns.
