Swim lanes

hughgpt

Hi

How can I break my sheet up into sections - a bit like swim lanes?

I want a solid line going horizontally across the sheet between rows ideally with a title

Is this possible?

thanks

Hugh

Hi Hugh,

 

Did you try out our Card View?  Here's some information.

 

If that's not what you're looking for, please let me know how what you'd like would differ from this!

Alison,

Swim lanes are horizontal lanes diving the Vertivcal lanes.

For Instance, if your vertical lanes are "backlog", "In Progress", "testing", "done"

then the swim lanes could be "assigned user" so that now the users tasks are grouped for them in their own lane. If they perform the task and it is up to someone else to test, then they drag the card from their "in Progress" swim lane to someone else's "testing" swim lane. It is much easier to identify WIP limits in this fashion.

I have a need for swim lanes as well! Is this possible to configure or can we request a feature enhancement?

+5 for this. Is there any way for us to see if an enhancement request has been submitted and formally vote on it there?

Having horizontal swimlanes in addition to the vertical swimlanes would be fantastic! This is a much-needed feature that many other kanban boards support today (like Trello and JIRA, just to name a couple). Please consider adding this feature!

When we can expect this feature?

We could really use this as well - versus maintaining separate boards for separate epics, or doing lots of automations to try to differentiate them within a kanban with only vertical swim lanes.

+1 for horizontal / secondary swim lanes

+1 does anyone have an idea when this feature will be available?

+1 My vote is for this feature.

Hi,

We are also at a stage where we are eagerly waiting for the Horizontal Swim lanes or secondary swim lanes to become available. Please let us know as soon as the feature is available. Thanks.

Andrew Simmonds

+1 for Horizontal and Secondary Swim Lanes feature to be added.

Spencer Campbell

+1 for this. Horizontal Swim Lanes are an important feature of a Card type work management system.

SmartSheet, please provide a way to create horizontal rows in addition to the current vertical columns that can be setup based on task attributes. For example, set Columns to "Status" (Not Started, Ready, In Progress, Complete) and Rows to "Assigned To" (Jane, John, Unassigned [NULL], etc.)

This is something that any kanban board solution ought to have.

Am looking at alternatives to SmartSheet that have this feature.
