To **add a Kanban view to an existing table**, you ask the AI builder to create the flow on top of the data you already have. The table stays where it is; the board becomes another way to look at it.

## Why the data and the view should be separate

A table that has been in use for months carries history, connections, and automations. Rebuilding it to get a board view would throw all of that away.

- Records already connected to other tables
- Automations already running on the data
- Change history that would not survive a migration
- Permissions already configured by role and field

## When a board helps and when it does not

- **A board helps** when records move through defined phases — requests, deals, tickets, projects
- **A table is better** for reference data that does not progress, like products or suppliers
- **Both together** suit teams where some people track flow and others need to scan rows
- **Neither replaces** the dashboard, which answers portfolio-level questions

## How to do it in Jestor

1. Open the builder in **Jestor** and point it at the table you want to extend.
2. Ask it to create a **Kanban** flow on top of that table.
3. Answer any clarifying questions about how phases should be organized.
4. Review the result and ask for adjustments to fields, colours, or ordering.
5. Alternatively, create a Kanban from any table with one click and customize it manually.

## Why choose Jestor for flexible views?

In **Jestor**, tables are the relational layer and apps are the interfaces built over them — which is exactly why adding a view costs nothing structurally. The same records can appear as a table, a board, a list, or a dashboard at once.

Boards support colour conditionals, chosen displayed fields, ordering, filters, and cards carrying **SLA**, tasks, subtasks, and change history.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### Will my existing data be affected?

No. The view is added over the table without changing the records.

### Can I build a Kanban without AI?

Yes, with one click from any table. See [jestor.com](https://jestor.com/?ref=blog.jestor.com).

### Can the same data appear in several views?

Yes — table, board, list, and dashboard simultaneously.
