Producer Dashboard

Mini Kanban

The Mini Kanban is a compact board view on your dashboard that organizes all your tracks by their current workflow stage. Instead of scrolling through a list, you see everything at a glance — ideas on the left, finished tracks on the right, and everything in between.

This view is especially useful when you want to see the big picture of where your music stands across all projects.

What You’ll See

Section titled “What You’ll See”

The Mini Kanban appears as a horizontal row of columns on your dashboard. Each column represents a workflow stage, and your tracks appear as cards within their corresponding columns.

The columns typically follow your production workflow, such as:

  • Idea — raw concepts and early sketches
  • Editing — tracks actively being produced or refined
  • Mixing — tracks in the mixing stage
  • Mastering — tracks ready for or undergoing mastering
  • Ready to Post — finished tracks awaiting release
  • Published — released tracks

The exact stages shown depend on your configured workflow. You might see fewer or different column names based on how your workspace is set up.

Reading the Board

Section titled “Reading the Board”

Each track card in the Mini Kanban shows key information at a glance:

  • Track title — the song name
  • Thumbnail — artwork or a generated gradient if none is set
  • Stage indicator — a colored bar or badge showing current progress
  • Due date chip — appears if the track has a deadline set
  • Collaborator dots — small indicators showing if others are working on the track

The cards are sized to fit multiple tracks per column while keeping the entire board visible on your screen. This makes it easy to scan your entire catalog without scrolling.

Viewing Track Details

Section titled “Viewing Track Details”

Click on any track card to open its details. This selects the track and displays its full information in the activity panel on the right side of the screen.

Changing a Track’s Stage

Section titled “Changing a Track’s Stage”

To move a track to a different stage, click the dropdown menu on the track card (usually a small arrow or three-dot menu) and select the new stage from the list. The card will immediately move to the appropriate column.

This is useful when you finish mixing a track — just change its stage to “Mastering” and it appears in that column automatically.

Filtering the View

Section titled “Filtering the View”

If you only want to see tracks in certain stages, look for filter controls above or below the board. You can typically toggle individual columns on or off to focus on specific parts of your workflow.

Searching Within the Board

Section titled “Searching Within the Board”

Use the search bar to filter tracks by name. As you type, the board updates to show only matching tracks across all visible columns.

Why Use the Mini Kanban

Section titled “Why Use the Mini Kanban”

The Mini Kanban helps you answer questions like:

  • “What needs attention?” — Tracks stuck in one stage for too long stand out visually.
  • “What’s close to release?” — Your Ready to Post column shows exactly what’s waiting to go out.
  • “How balanced is my workload?” — See if all your effort is going into one stage while others sit empty.
  • “Where are my deadlines?” — Tracks with due dates show chips that make upcoming releases obvious.

Instead of opening individual projects or scrolling through lengthy lists, you get a real-time snapshot of your entire production pipeline.

Dashboard Placement

Section titled “Dashboard Placement”

The Mini Kanban sits prominently on your main dashboard page, alongside other widgets like upcoming deadlines and recent activity. Its horizontal layout makes it the widest element on the page, drawing attention to your workflow at a glance.

If your dashboard feels cluttered, you can rearrange widgets by dragging them. The Mini Kanban can be moved lower or higher depending on what information you want to see first when you open the app.
