Column fields are present in the DataSource schema and it is rendering cards based its mapping column values.
Key Mapping
To render Kanban with simple cards, you need to map the DataSource fields to Kanban cards and Columns. The required mapping field are listed as follows
| Mapping Fields | Description |
|---|---|
| KeyField | Map the column name to use as Key values to columns. |
| Columns.KanbanColumn.Key | Map the corresponding key values of KeyField column to each columns. |
| Columns.KanbanColumn.HeaderText | It represents the title for particular column |
| Fields.Content | Map the column name to use as content to cards. |
NOTE
1.If the column with
KeyFieldis not in theDataSourceand key values specified will not available in column values, then the cards will not be rendered.
NOTE
2.If the
Fields.Contentis not in theDataSource, then empty cards will be rendered.
The following code example describes the above behavior.
<ej:Kanban ID="Kanban" runat="server" KeyField="Status">

<ej:KanbanColumn HeaderText="Backlog" Key="Open" />
<ej:KanbanColumn HeaderText="In Progress" Key="InProgress" />

Multiple Key Mapping
You can map more than one datasource fields as Key values to show different key cards into single column. For e.g , you can map “Validate,In progress” keys under “In progress” column.
The following code example and screenshot which describes the above behavior.
<ej:Kanban ID="Kanban" runat="server" KeyField="Status">

Headers
Header Template
The template design that applies on for the column header. To render template, set HeaderTemplate.
You can use JsRender syntax in the template. For more information about JsRender syntax, please refer the link.
