One key feature of KanBo’s platform is its card details system.

With the exception of the board and card completion, you can modify these details from the card level.

Using the left section of the card, you can control the workflow in a number of ways. You can change the status of the card, change the card list, change the list at MyBoard, add users to the card and see its followers and viewers, add and remove a label (or even create a new one), add card dates and set reminders, and add a relation with any existing card or create a new related one. You can also make modifications with the Quick Actions menu.

The aim is to ensure compliance with relevant policies and guidelines, identify areas of significant business risk, and make recommendations to mitigate risks and add value.
