Using Deneb to create a kanban view

Seanan — Fri, 15 Sep 2023 14:55:34 GMT

Hi all,

In my free time I'm trying to create a DevOps kanban view that I can send to clients that will allow them to view the progression of tasks as they move between different states, without giving them access to DevOps itself.

I recently discovered the Deneb custom visual and was hoping that this may be able to help me achieve what I'm looking for but I have no knowledge of the Vega-Lite language.

I've got the rectangles in place but how do I get my array of values from "repeat" to display at the top of each rectangle?

Code:

{ "data": {"name": "dataset"}, "repeat": { "column": [ "New", "Analysis", "Refinement", "Ready", "Development", "UAT", "Closed" ] }, "spec": { "layer": [ { "mark": { "type": "rect", "width": 100, "height": 300 } }, { "mark": { "type": "text", "dy": -175 }, "encoding": { "text": { "field": { "repeat": "column" } } } } ] } }

Hi @Seanan, based on what you're describing, I believe the layout composition you want is facet, not repeat.
Here is an example gist (note - I explicitly listed the values in the values array of the data object. You'll want to remove that in Deneb). Hope this helps!

If this is enough to get you going please consider liking this reply and choosing it as the solution. Otherwise, I'm happy to help further.
