Kanban
A drag is a real update
Moving a card writes the new status through the entity API, so permissions apply and any workflow watching for the change runs.
Flexible Data Views
One dataset, five ways to work with it
Switch any entity between a grid, a kanban board, a calendar, a map and charts in the Anythink dashboard, all on the same records your API serves.
The same task, three ways
Move order 1042 from packed to shipped.
The Anythink dashboard
Drag the card. The record updates.
The Anythink CLI
The same update, scriptable.
$ anythink data get orders 1042$ anythink data update orders 1042 \--data '{"status":"shipped"}'- ✓Order 1042 read
- ✓status is now shipped
Claude, through MCP
Ask in plain text. The assistant runs the same commands.
you › “Mark order 1042 as shipped, then tell me which orders are still packed.”
- ✓Read order 1042
- ✓Set its status to shipped
- ✓Listed orders still packed
- ✓Workflows watching status ran
Views that do real work
Map
One geo field, a map and geo search
The geo field that puts records on the map also powers radius search and nearest-first sorting in the search API.
Charts
From an entity to a dashboard
Save a chart from an entity's Charts View and add it to a dashboard alongside materialised views and other widgets.
Import
Bring your data with you
Import a CSV from the grid with a saved column mapping, then switch views on the new records straight away.
Five views, one set of records
Every view reads and writes the same entity through the same API and permissions, so nothing is copied and nothing drifts.
Grid with inline editing
A spreadsheet-style grid with column filters, sorting and pagination. Turn on Instant Edit to change values in the cell, or import a CSV from the same screen.
01 / 06
Kanban by status
Group records into columns by a select field, such as status. Drag a card to another column and Anythink updates that record through the API.
01 / 06
Calendar from date fields
Lay records out on a calendar by a date or timestamp field to see bookings, deadlines and events at a glance.
01 / 06
Charts per entity
Build column, bar, line, pie, funnel and cohort charts from an entity's fields, with counts or totals over time, then save them to use on dashboards.
01 / 06
Map from geo fields
Plot every record with a geo field as a pin and click through to the record. Field service, deliveries and listings read better on a map.
01 / 06
The same data as your API
Views read and write through the entity API with the signed-in user's permissions, so changes made in a view trigger the same workflows as changes from your app.
01 / 06
How it works
From an entity to the view that suits the job
01
Give the entity the right fields
A select field for a kanban board, a date or timestamp for the calendar, a geo field for the map.
02
Open it in the dashboard
Every entity opens in the grid. Switch with the view buttons above it: Grid, Kanban, Map, Calendar or Charts.
03
Work in the view
Edit cells in the grid, drag cards on the board, or click a pin or an event to open the record.
04
Chart it
Build charts in Charts View, save them, and add them to a dashboard for the rest of the team.

One entity, five views
Open the same records as a grid, kanban board, map, calendar or chart.
Dashboards guide →Frequently Asked Questions
Can I see my data as a kanban board?
Yes. Open any entity in the Anythink dashboard and switch to Kanban View. Choose a select field to group by, usually a status, then drag cards between columns to update each record.
How do I show records on a map or a calendar?
Add a geo field and Map View plots each record that has a location. Calendar View uses a date or timestamp field, such as a booking date or a due date.
Are views saved for my whole team?
Each person's views are remembered in their browser: the view you pick for each entity, and the field a kanban board groups by, so teammates can each work their own way.
Charts you build in Charts View are saved in the project for everyone and can be added to dashboards.
Do views copy or change my data?
No. Views are ways of looking at the same records. Switching views copies nothing, and edits made in any view go through the same API, permissions and workflows as your app.
