**Conditionals on the Kanban card cover** control which fields appear on the outside of a card. Instead of every card showing the same information, each one shows what is relevant to its current state.

## Why uniform cards hide the important signal

A board where every card looks identical forces you to open each one to find out what matters.

- Priority invisible until someone opens the card
- Values shown on cards where they are irrelevant
- Action buttons displayed in phases where they do nothing
- Cards cluttered with fields that only matter at one stage

## What a condition can be based on

| Condition             | Example                                         |
| --------------------- | ----------------------------------------------- |
| **Phase**             | Show the quote fields only in the quoting stage |
| **Field value**       | Show priority only when it is set to high       |
| **Numeric threshold** | Show the amount only when it exceeds a limit    |
| **Any combination**   | Several rules applied together on the same card |

## How to configure it in Jestor

1. Open the **Kanban** edit view in **Jestor**.
2. Find the conditionals section, which separates colour rules, open-card rules, and displayed-field rules.
3. Choose the displayed-fields conditional to control the card cover.
4. Decide your logic — start hidden and reveal, or start visible and hide.
5. Set the condition: a phase, a specific value, or a numeric threshold.

## Why choose Jestor for board configuration?

**Jestor** uses the same conditional logic on the card cover that it uses inside forms, so the rules you already know apply here without learning a second system.

Conditionals are not limited to phase. Any field can drive them, which means a board can highlight high-priority or high-value work without a separate filter.

## Frequently Asked Questions

### Can conditions depend on something other than phase?

Yes, any field value or numeric threshold works. See [jestor.com](https://jestor.com/?ref=blog.jestor.com).

### Can I hide a button in certain phases?

Yes, buttons on the cover follow the same rules.

### Is the logic show-based or hide-based?

Both are available — you choose which suits the board.
