The Kanban Board

How to run your daily standup and triage from the work order Kanban at /dashboard/tasks

The Kanban Board

The Kanban board at /dashboard/tasks is the home base for any ops manager. It surfaces every open task in your subaccount, color-coded by priority, with SLA badges that count down to breach. Most ops teams put this on a wall monitor during the morning standup.

Columns

The board has five live columns plus an off-board terminal state:

ColumnWhat lives here
CreatedNew tasks not yet assigned to a technician
AssignedTasks claimed by or pushed to a specific tech, but work hasn't started
In ProgressA tech has pressed Start and captured a "before" photo
ResolvedThe tech has finished work and uploaded an "after" photo — waiting for sign-off
VerifiedAn ops_manager or lead_tech has approved the work. Vehicle is back to available.

Tasks that have been verified for more than 7 days drop off the board and live in Closed, reachable from the filter bar. Cancelled tasks move directly to the off-board state and surface in the audit log.

What each card shows

A card is built for at-a-glance reading at standup:

  • Vehicle number in large type — for example V-0042
  • Task type as an icon (wrench, battery, broom, etc.)
  • Priority chip (gray, blue, orange, red)
  • Assignee avatar, or blank if unclaimed
  • Age — how long since created_at
  • SLA indicator — a yellow warning when within 25% of breach, a red dot once breached

Tap a card to open the side drawer, which holds the full task detail without leaving the board.

Filters and views

Use the filter bar to focus the board:

  • Status — multi-select; defaults to all live states
  • Type — for example, narrow to just battery_swap during a charging push
  • Priority — show only critical during a triage session
  • Assignee — see a single tech's queue
  • Vehicle — pull every task ever opened against one machine
  • Date range — useful when reviewing the last 7 or 30 days

The three view tabs (Kanban, Table, Map) all respect the same filter state. Map view is the fastest way to spot a cluster of low-battery tasks in a single zone, which usually means rebalancing pressure rather than a maintenance problem.

SLA badges

Each card carries an SLA indicator driven by tasks.sla_due_at. The cron at /api/cron/task-sla-check runs every 15 minutes and records breaches in task_sla_breaches. The UI uses three states:

  • Green — more than 25% of the SLA window remaining
  • Yellow — within 25% of the deadline (at-risk)
  • Red — past the SLA deadline (breached)

When a task breaches, the assignee and the ops_manager both receive a push notification, and critical tasks also fire a email alert if you have one configured.

Drag-and-drop and bulk actions

The board's primary write path is the side-drawer action buttons (Assign, Start, Resolve, Verify), not drag-and-drop. State transitions are guarded server-side, so dragging a card to Verified when it has not yet been Resolved would 409 anyway.

For batch work, use the bulk action toolbar that appears once you check two or more cards:

  • Bulk Assign — push 50 low-battery tasks to one chargehand
  • Bulk Close — wrap up a shift's worth of deploy tasks in one click
  • Bulk Reschedule — push all pending scheduled-maintenance tasks back a day

The side drawer

Click any card to open the side drawer with:

  • Vehicle photo and last-known location
  • Full timeline with every status change, comment, and assignee swap
  • Photos grouped by phase (before, during, after) with signed URLs that expire after one hour
  • Parts logged against the task with unit costs
  • Labor logged against the task with minutes and hourly rate
  • Comments — internal-only discussion thread
  • Action buttons gated by your role

To see the same detail in a full page, click the title to land on /dashboard/tasks/[id].

Pro tip

Save the Kanban with your daily standup filter (status = Created + Assigned + In Progress, sorted by priority) as a browser bookmark. Most ops managers open it as the first tab of the morning.
