Hide resource picture / assignee icons on task on KANBAN board.

Matthias Nickel

I have a KANBAN board, which shows all task being done in all projects. As this board is for a pure management view, I don't want them to see which person is working on which task. Is it possible to hide the resource picture / assignee icon in a project or KANBAN board?

Hi @Matthias Nickel

You can't modify the default template as far as I know - so it's not possible to remove or hide the Assignee icons (even via Field Configuration, which has no impact on board icons).

You could utilise a custom field for "Assignee" instead - but I would advise against it, given the permissions, rules, etc which are attached to the default field.

Another alternative would be a Dashboard to visualise a management summary - that way you could show a filtered list of results without inclusion of the Assignee field, giving you more flexibility.

Is there a specific reason why showing Assignee would cause issues for management?

I dont think there is an option for that.

i would suggest you to look into the option of creating a dashboard with filter results gadget that displays only the fields that the management interested in seeing.

It would cause an issue with the assignees. Some of them are afraid of being controlled by mangement. Like Micro-management of single resources.

I also use the board for an allignment meeting. There, it doesn't matter.

Hi @Matthias Nickel

I would consider the Dashboard approach as the optimum solution if that's an option!

It allows you to summarise more - either showing filter results without inclusion of the Assignee field, or more general statistics about team progress rather than card-by-card.

That way it becomes more team-focused, rather than user-focused
