How Do You Set Up a Card to Show a Visual Alert Only When a Value Crosses a Certain Threshold?
In Jestor, just create a conditional on the Kanban card's cover, setting a field, button, or piece of information to only appear when the value crosses the configured threshold, like "above 5,000."
Why use conditional alerts instead of always showing everything
Displaying every piece of information on every card clutters the Kanban and makes it harder to quickly spot what actually needs attention. Showing an alert only when a value crosses a threshold draws attention exactly where it's needed.
What can be conditioned by value on the card
- Displaying a specific field, like the deal's own value
- Showing a button, like "special approval" for high amounts
- Combining with phase conditionals, not just value alone
- Highlight color, to reinforce the visual alert
How to set up a value-based visual alert in Jestor
- Open the Kanban editor and go to the card cover's conditionals
- Choose the reference field, like "value"
- Set the condition, for example "show only if value is above 5,000"
- Save — the alert shows up automatically on cards meeting the condition
Process automation with attention where it matters
This kind of conditional reduces operational errors, like approving something outside the expected tier, reinforcing process automation visually, right on the Kanban, with no need for card-by-card manual review.
Table Summary
| Situation | Card behavior |
|---|---|
| Value below the threshold | No extra highlight on the card |
| Value above the set threshold | Alert or field shows up automatically |
