Colors and filters for whiteboards

[Mircea_Braescu]

To me Whiteboards are just another view over Fibery entities, which instead of displaying data in a list, table or board, displays them on a canvas.

As such, I would find it useful if whiteboards had the same functionality like other views, such as option to filter and color entities / cards.

Here is a use case for it.
We’ve made an app-map (a sitemap for a web app) which shows the page hierarchy of the entire app:

I would like to visually mark cards which have linked bugs.
Or I would like to filter out cards that are not part of the current release.

See here:

Allow whiteboards to be views in relations just like lists, tables & boards

I wish there was a quick and easy way to visually map existing relational hierarchies automatically instead of having to create separate whiteboards and using the multi entity insert with tons and tons of filters. [Buds-—-Client-Fibery] I can see it working exactly like lists and tables do, with a “levels” setting that would determine how the entities would be visually linked to each other. It would also be cool if cards on the canvas would be automatically positioned on “sort” options! [B…

Those seem to be different use cases.
I have the whiteboards created. I want to filter and color cards / entities.
I don’t want an automated way to create a graph like view in a whiteboard.

[Chr1sG]

I understand, but I think there is overlap in the ideas, in that a data view (like table, board, list, etc.) has inherent support for filtering and colour-coding.

As you say

which is very close to the title of the other topic:

Allow whiteboards to be views in relations just like lists, tables & boards

I agree with the title, but almost everything in the description touches a whole different topic, so I’m not sure if upvoting it counts towards what I need or something entirely different.

Well, I am mostly mentioning so that other community visitors can see related stuff

Could you provide more details on that?

[Mircea_Braescu]

I’d be happy to, but I’m not sure what sort of info you want me to provide.

Why would you need to use filters / coloring on a whiteboard?

For the exact same reasons I would use filters / coloring in views such lists / tables / boards, etc.

Let’s take this whiteboard for example containing a user flow:

I would like to color in red the cards (steps) that contain bugs.
Or I would like a filter that excludes cards (steps) that are not part of the MVP.
etc

When you ‘multi-insert’ items on the board, you can choose to apply a filter

but perhaps you mean a filter that can be toggled on or off, once items are already on the board?

Yes. 1:1 with filters and colors in other views
