User assignments and kanban

Product Support

AI-generated summary

MartinC is seeking guidance on setting up user assignments within the Kanban board, noting that while assignments appear to work for others, they’re struggling to implement them. They assume @mentioning assigns a topic, as no other assignment method is apparent. After reviewing the repo readme and trying the [Preview](https://theme-creator.discourse.org/t heme/david/kanban) (which didn’t display a functional Kanban), they suspect the Assign Plugin is required. Their main question is whether it’s possible to view a full Kanban filtered by assignee — specifically, to see only their own tasks organized into #to-do, #in-progress, and #done columns — since currently they can only see all assigned items without status differentiation.

Hi, how do you set up assignments?

I can see assignments work for others, but can’t work out how to implement them ourselves. At present when I filter by assigned every topic shows up in the Unassigned column but also in any of the assignee’s columns. I’m assuming @mentioning someone assigns them, as I can’t find any other way to assign an owner to a topic.

P.S. Thank you so much for creating this @david and contributors. I’ve read through this thread, looked at the repo readme and tried the Preview (which I couldn’t get to actually show a Kanban) - is there documentation somewhere that I’m missing?

It seems that the answer is you need to also use the Assign Plugin
But…
Is there a way to view a full Kanban filtered by who the topics are assigned to? For example my normal way of working would be in a Kanban view of everything assigned to me, showing only my #to-do #in-progress and #done items. Currently I’m able to see everything assigned to me, but I can’t differentiate between items I have done and items I still need to do.
