Requirements

All of the links are pointing to kanboard/ which means, that your Kanboard installations need to be here: 127.0.0.1/kanboard.

Use

Take notes on the fly. Developed to easily take project specific notes. The purpose of the notes is not to be tasks, but for keeping information - a flexible alternative to metadata. I'm using Kanboard as projectmanagement tool for managing construction projects, where I often need to take notes regarding specific installations, during site-visits or phonemeetings.

The notes is accessible from the project dropdown, where only the project specific notes will be shown. On the dashboard there's a link in the sidebar to view all notes, the notes will be separated in tabs.

Features

• Take notes quickly. Write the note title and press ENTER to save.
• Press TAB in the new note title to show the detailed menu
• Add detailed description to new notes
• Add a category to notes. The category is the same as the projects categories. (Please see the section for bugs)
• Get pie analytic on open and done notes
• Delete all done notes
• One-click for editing notes status (open/done)
• Edit note title. Click on title, edit and press ENTER
• Press the show more button on a note to see the note details
• Edit an existing notes description. Click on the description, type, press TAB to save
• Change category on existing notes. If you want to remove the category, just choose option 2 (the blank)
• Free sorting. Move the notes around. The sorting is saved.
• Export note to task. (Please see the secton for bugs)
• Generate report for printing notes.
• Filter report on category

Todo

• Implement fault procedures (verify it is number, etc.)
• Adding possibility to attach image from mobile
• Finish exporting notes to task in specific swimlane and with category
• Update styling for a more simplicity view
• Better overview of multiple projects with tabs

Issues

• Focus on description textarea when pressing TAB on new notes title is not working
• Category is saved as text in database and does not have foreing key to the projects real category table
• Category not updating in title after manually changing the category
• Analytic chart on categories not developed
• Margin bottom not added
• The only folder in the Template folder is boardnotes, and not specified out on dashboard etc.
• There is no description of shortcuts (ENTER and TAB key)
• Delete directly on trash button on single note - to fast?
• If note has empty title, it's not possible to change it afterwards
• Analytic is breaking when viewing all projects (js not reloading correctly)
• Exporting note to task: Swimlanes not working. Category not working.
• Div modal for "Delete all done" and "Analytic" is repeated on every reload
• Should disabled projects show on all boardnotes page?
• Functions in controller (BoardNotesController) missing variables in () - needed?
• Markups as Kanboard
