Kanban Board

Overview

From the planning board in BOS, you can navigate to an interface that lists all the jobs for a specific Stage. The Stage selected depends on the record you clicked on.

On the Kanban Board, jobs can be dragged and dropped from one Production Status to another (e.g. from Ready to Busy).
