Hi Manolo,   

  

As per the current structure, we don’t have support to render columns without using data source at initial level.  You can follow the given work around solution.   

   

We have created a Kanban sample with “Add New Card” button.  You can set data source at the initial level if add new card button is clicked.   

    

Please refer to the following code.     

   

KanbanFeature.cshtml   

   

@Html.EJ().Button("button").Size(ButtonSize.Large).ShowRoundedCorner(true).ClientSideEvents(e => e.Click("onClick")).Text("Click to add Card")  // Create Button   

      

<script>   

    function onClick(args) {     

        var obj = $("#Kanban").data("ejKanban");     

        obj.KanbanEdit.addCard(1, { Id: 1, Status: "Open", Summary: "Analyze the new requirements gathered from the customer.", Type: "Story", Priority: "Low", Tags:"Analyze,Customer", Estimate: 3.5, Assignee: "Nancy Davloio", RankId: 1 }); //add card public method   

    }     

</script>

it's possible show your add button when the datasource is empty?

I prefer show only option for add a new card

Hi Manolo,  

 

Yes, it is possible to show add button using empty data source.  But, Current behavior of Kanban is to show custom text “No cards to display” when there is no valid matching data found based on key values given.   

 

We have analyzed your requirement for “Render Kanban column with showAddButton using without data source". As this feature is not available in our product, we will consider this as a feature request. If you could confirm some specific details, it would help us to implement the feature in line with your requirement.     

Please review the following screen shot of the feature and let us know if it conforms your requirement. If our definition of this feature is different from your requirement, then let us know the specific details, so that we can work towards fulfilling your requirement.

This screenshot is perfect!Meanwhile, in an empty datasource with a custom button for add card. If I set this:obj.KanbanEdit.addCard();The form is not showThanks a lot

Hi Manolo,   

  

Thanks for your update and for helping us define this feature.  We have added “Render Kanban column without using data source” to our feature request list and it will be implemented in one of our releases.    

We would appreciate your patience until then.   

  

Yes, if you click custom add button with empty data source, dialog form will not be opened.  The current behavior of Kanban control is that addCard with empty data source does not open the dialog form.  So, we can set data source at the initial level if add new card button was clicked on the first time. 

  

Please let us know if you need any further assistance.
