Hi, It would be great if in the lanes/rows filters, we could have an option to hide automatically lanes which do not contain any cards. Let’s say I’m displaying Tasks cards on a board view, where the lanes are the “Projects” containing those cards => I would need to see only the Projects which ac…

There is a workaround way of doing this. If you have a filter on the board which means that some Projects are showing no tasks, then you can create a formula field in the Project type which matches this filter. Then you can set up the Row filter to use the formula field of the Project. Hope that ma…

Hi, thank you for your message. I thought of this too however my case is more complex than the example I gave, and I can’t do a formula to achieve the same result. I got : Projects Goals which belong to Projects Tasks which belong to Goals I want to display Projects as lanes, and Tasks as Cards…

Just so I understand your case, are the tasks assigned to people, or just the projects? And which relations are one-to-many, and which are many-to-many?

Actually, both Projects and Tasks are assigned to People, but the fact that Project are assigned is not useful in my example so I removed it above, sorry about that. The fact that relations are on-to-many or many-to-many does not really influence the formula capacity here I think, you could even fo…

Yeah, I appreciate your problem, and there is no easy way round. And yeah, being able to hide empty rows in general might be a nice feature. I only asked the questions because I am always curious to hear what other people are using FIbery for :slight_smile: I think the closest you can come is to j…

As an aside, you can achieve something close by using a report instead of a board. If you choose a table type of report, and then have the task name as a column, group according to project name (goal-project lookup field) and then define a filter for an assignee. It solves the problem of needing to…

OK thank you, I keep that option in mind but yes, the downside is that the entites can not be manipulated easily, and we can’t show data according to others fileds as columns (like the “status” of Tasks, which are the columns in my board view). Anyway I’m hoping some will have the same request …

+1 for this feature! :slight_smile:
