Hi everyone!
As of just a few moments ago, cards are now customizable! The card layout now has an updated design and lets you choose which fields are shown in your cards.
To find this option, click the wrench icon in the upper left for your app, then go to "Layout Options" and find the "Card Layout" tab at the top.
Thanks a lot to everyone who shared feedback on this here - we hope this new functionality will make the card layout even better for you!

"It is absolutely crucial for using a kanban chart that you implement 2 things:
1. Colors that are chosen in statuses are shown on the cards.
2. Ability to modify what is displayed on the cards. Most important to see our due dates on the cards
It would also be nice if we could add our own sound when moving a card to a new status, to "celebrate" a new status.
It's a no-brainer in order to get working Kanban-workflow in podio."If I could have upvoted this more I would have. JACQUELYN, what's the status of this? My devs have been crying out for this for over a year, and now, the dev team is looking at exploring JIRA just for this reason... :-(

We are using the cards Kanban-style. As mentioned by several people in this tread, it would be great to see the following on the cards
- The colour of the chosen Category (the entire card – or fill in the heading?)
Free customization of which fields to show on the card. For us:
- Title
- Client name
- Contact (who's responsible in the team) - picture?
- Date (due date)
- Image(s)
It would also be nice to be able to (optionally) _restrict_ the number of possible cards in each category. Assuming the Kanban board have 5 columns – Catalogue, On Deck, Doing, Waiting for Feedback, Done – we don't allow for more than 6 cards in the On Deck category, and 3 in the Doing category. This makes everything clearer; when you have to choose which ones to place where, it makes for more focused work. Right now, we do this manually, which is ok – but enables us able to cheat. ;-)
There you go! Thanks for your reponse.

Hi Sara,
Things that we could use on the cards (added in my personal priority):
1. Text field
2. Add a transparent "add item name" (green button in right top corner) in the bottom of each status in card-view, that can be used to prefill the status/statuses in a card-view to enhance the time spend of adding items.
3. Contact
4. Relationship.
5. Genereal product request - Stopwatch. For very long I've wanted to monitor time spend directly in Podio
6. Date. And especially end date or start date; without need of adding the other parameter!
Notes to colors:
You already show the colours of coloured statuses in a table-view and badge-view. A card-view is all about statuses, and here you suddenly don't show them? That makes no sense. Especially because it enchances a Kanban-system, which is widely used as colored post-it's in most organisations today. It's a very accepted workflow and LEAN method. Under options you can both base the rows and columns on a status. So we would need ability to select which status-field that has color priority.
Notes to sound:
Would love to upload a sound to a specific status-change. Definitely don't want PowerPoint-like blunders with clapping hands or laughing people. We need our unique own files. It is a feature that makes one or a team able to celebrate small victories in a fun way, which is really productive. Then it could play a unique 5-60 sec file related to the responisble contact.

This is a real shame... Customizing cards would be the ultimate... we still use Podio KANBAN style and it is so TACKY to to prefix our projects & deliverables with client abbreviations or any other information to make them distinguishable, when a customizable card would solve all of it...

I agree with everything said here.
We have just started building a critical new feature to our podio using the card/ KanBan layout and I stupidly assumed I would be able to customise the layout.
This seems to me to be not an added bonus but rather a neccessity for what this layout is geared towards acheiving. -

I'd like to chime in! Please make this a priority. For the last two months we have been working with the cards layout and constantly hit annoyances (if we compare it to other card layout systems like Trello). All of them could be adressed, if we could customize the layout. Much more important than color coded calendar items, if you ask me.
Best, Guido -
Hi all,
I would love to see the same level of customisation for the card view layout as is provided for the badge layout.
We are in the process of migrating from other kanban specific software and have been used to tailoring the fields shown across all our cards.
The addition of colour coding based on a category field would also be really helpful. We have used this in the past to represent whether a card is blocked, or "fast-track" etc.
Many thanks.

Absolutely embarrassing roadmap you got regarding Kanban flows. I now use Trello instead. They got an awesome interface for card layout. The best thing is that it doesn't reset itself. Do people in this thread. Use Trello instead. And pro - if you get less respect for the status quo; don't hesitate to let us know.
