# Kanban mode

**Kanban mode** lays out the applied controls as a status board — one column per status, one row (swimlane) per domain. It's the view to reach for when you're driving execution: moving controls forward visually and spotting which domain is sitting on the most "in progress" work.

## Where to find it

Open the controls table (`/applied-controls`) and click the **table-columns icon** in the toolbar, next to the flash-mode and analytics buttons. The active table filters are carried over.

Kanban mode is currently only available for applied controls.

## Layout

* **Columns** — one per status: `--` (unset), To do, In progress, On hold, Active, Degraded, Deprecated. The column header shows a running count of controls in that status across all swimlanes.
* **Swimlanes** — one per domain. Each swimlane can be collapsed or expanded; the swimlane header shows the per-domain count.
* **Cards** — one per control. Each card shows name, priority badge (P1–P4 with colour), owner initials, and ETA (highlighted red when overdue, except for `active` or `deprecated` controls which are never flagged overdue).
* **Compact mode** — a toggle in the page header reduces card detail to fit more controls on screen.

## Moving cards

Drag a card to a different **status column** to update its status — the change is saved immediately. Drag a card to a different **swimlane** to reassign its domain.

## Other view modes for applied controls

* [**Applied controls analytics**](/ciso-assistant/product-docs/features/applied-controls-analytics.md) — chart-pie dashboard with counts, cost, ETA buckets, and top owners.
* [**Flash mode**](/ciso-assistant/product-docs/features/flash-mode.md) — flashcards for rapid posture establishment.

All three share the same filter passthrough from the table.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://intuitem.gitbook.io/ciso-assistant/product-docs/features/kanban-mode.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
