Hide Swimlanes without Data/Cards IN Visual Task Boards

[Nandini22]

HI All,

As part of my project requirement, I need to implement a solution to automatically hide the swim lanes without data/cards. In OOB there is an option to uncheck the unwanted swim lanes in the advanced settings. 

But this solution is not feasible as the customer cannot every time check and uncheck it based on the card availability.

Please suggest.

Hi Nandhini,

Whenever you hide a lane, the lane's sysID is stored as a record in the user preference table with the name vtb.board.${sys_id of VTB}.hiddenLanes.

To update user preferences dynamically, you can write a Business rule in vtb_card table to run whenever a card changes lane.

HI @Manoj89 , I wrote a BR to update the user preference you mentioned. Even if the user preference is updated with the values of the swim lanes to be hidden, I don't see the same ones hidden in the VTB. 

Please suggest.

Hi Nandhini,

Are you updating user preference with the user or without the user?

Your BR should create or update (usually updating will delete the existing and create a new user preference by the same name) the user preference specific to the logged-in user.
