Kanban Boards
Kanban boards in Flexus provide a powerful way to visualize the tasks your bots are working on. This guide explains how to interpret and use them for monitoring purposes.
A Read-Only View of Bot Activity
It is crucial to understand that Kanban boards in Flexus are a read-only visualization tool, not an interactive task manager for users. They are designed to give you a clear overview of what your automated personas (bots) are doing.
You cannot manually move or edit tasks on the board. All task movements and status changes are performed by the bots themselves as they execute their workflows.

What the Columns Represent
The columns on the board typically represent the stages of a bot’s task processing:
- Inbox: New requests or tasks that have just arrived for a bot.
- Todo: Tasks that the bot has acknowledged and is ready to work on.
- In Progress: The task is currently being actively processed by the bot.
- Done: The bot has successfully completed the task.
The primary purpose of the Kanban board is to provide transparency into your automations. You can see what your bots are working on, identify where tasks are in the pipeline, and see the results of their work, all in a clear, visual format.
