# Quick Start & Setup

### Prerequisites

- GravityView and Gravity Forms are installed and active.
- PHP 8.0 or higher.
- Your source form includes either:
  - A **single‑select field** (Radio/Select) with defined **choices**, or
  - A **Gravity Flow workflow** attached to the form. *(Available for Premium or Agency plans only.)*

### Create a Kanban View

1. In GravityView, create a **new View**.
2. Select the **Source Form**.
3. Choose **Kanban** as the **View Type**.

### Configure Columns

- **Field mode (choices → columns):**
  1. Select the **single‑select field** used for status/stage.
  2. Pick which **choices** should appear as columns. *(Available for Premium or Agency plans only.)*
- **Workflow mode (Gravity Flow steps → columns):**
  1. Select **Workflow** as the column source.
  2. Pick which **steps** should appear as columns.
- **Uncategorized:** toggle whether to **show it even when empty**.

### Configure Cards

- **Title** (required): select the field(s) to display as the card title.
- **Body** (optional): add additional fields/content for the card body.
- **Single Entry View (Single Card):** configure the single‑card layout as needed.

### Apply Standard GravityView Settings

- Use any **GravityView settings** you need, including **filters**, **permissions**, **inline edit**, **lightbox**, and **search widgets**.

### Drag & Drop Behaviour

- **Field mode:** moving a card updates the entry’s **field value** to the new column’s choice.
- **Workflow mode:** moving a card updates the entry’s **Gravity Flow step** to the new column’s step.

### Notifications

- Entry edits can trigger **native Gravity Forms notifications**.
- KV4GV provides a **Card Moved** notification trigger for movements between columns.

### Pagination & Performance

- Kanban views **disable pagination** and display all active entries on a single page. This ensures all cards across all columns are visible simultaneously.
- For views with thousands of entries, consider using GravityView's **Advanced Filter** to limit the number of cards shown at once for better performance.

### Save and Use

1. **Save/Update** the View.
2. Open the View on the front end and **drag cards** between columns, open single cards, and apply filters/permissions as needed.
