FAQ

General information about Kanbanchi reports

This article contains information about the requirements for creating data reports in Kanbanchi.

What plan should I purchase to have access to the reports feature in Kanbanchi?

The data for reports creation is collected only for the boards which owner is subscribed to the Professional plan. Kanbanchi automatically started collecting the statistical data for reports creation from 25 April 2019 for ALL the boards which owners are on the Professional plan. Consider upgrading your plan if you need to create reports for your boards.

If I have cancelled the subscription, but want to renew it now, what data my reports will be based on?

If the owner of the board cancels the subscription, we stop collecting data. After the owner renews the subscription the data collection will be started again. However, the data for the unpaid period will not be available (and you may see a flat line or a gap in your reports). The data that has been collected before the subscription cancellation will be still available. 

What statistical data is collected for reports to be generated?

The data collected for reports generation: board ID, the number of cards in each list, the number of done cards in each list.

What changes may influence my reports?

Change of plan may influence the data view (gaps for the periods when the owner of a board was not on the Professional plan). Also, changing the Time zone of a board may result in some incorrect data representation. Please, learn more about Time zones in this FAQ article

Requirements

Please, note: a collection of statistical data for reports may be affected by such factors as:

-disabled cookies;

-installed browser extensions;

-installed antivirus software;

-installed firewall.

All these factors may result in incorrectly collected data and, consequently, a corrupted report.

How to set the time zone in Kanbanchi?

The owner’s time zone becomes the dashboard’s time zone by default. If the owner doesn’t have a timezone, UTC+0 will be set by default.

How to change the time zone in Kanbanchi?

Time Zone selector is available in the Board Details only for the owner of the dashboard.

Click the Time Zone drop-down selector and scroll to choose the necessary time zone. Or just start typing to choose from the provided options.

Note: Time Zone change influences the data collection for reports.

What does the time zone change influence?

When the time zone is changed, the data of the report before the change will still be shown according to the previous time zone.

Also, if the time zone is changed, the data on the reports might be incorrect for the date this change is made.

In what time zone Kanbanchi reports are generated?

Kanbanchi reports are generated in accordance with the Time Zone set for the board. The board’s Time Zone is set automatically due to its owner. It is possible to change the board’s time zone, however, all the data that has been collected before the time zone changing will be represented in the old time zone format.

What time zone does the board have if it’s created from the template?

The board created from the template has the owner’s time zone, i.e. the board doesn’t inherit the time zone of the template.
