Archived card listing #1721

Open juliusknorr opened 4 years ago

juliusknorr commented 4 years ago

The current way of listing archived cards is not optimal as we just show the archived cards in the same way as regular cards, grouped by their stack. In a kanban-like organization process cards most likely end up on a "Done" list or something similar where they are then archived from later on.

This results in the archived view being a long list of cards in the Done stack and is not really helpful.

My proposal would be to move displaying of archived cards to the board sidebar similar to how it is done in github projects and trello.

This way archived cards would be a separate list just for the archiving purpose and not interfere with the column layout that is just ment for managing currently active cards.

Alternative

So we discussed this recently in our deck design review and came to the conclusion that it might make sense to just have a toggleable additional list in the regular board view for all the archived cards.

I really really like this approach. We will definitely go for this in the Android app because separating this into a completely independent view is way easier to implement and maintain.

It's super. I would be interested in one more thing. I ran a full text search and everything works absolutely great.

However, as I will use Deck for individual projects and want to return to them, I would like elasticsearch to search archived cards as well. And that's not happening now. Is there a way to turn it on, please?

Thank you

This may make it a bit more confusing as to what that list actually is. If it looks like a regular list, why not make a list yourself and call it 'archive'? Why can you toggle the archive list, but not other lists?

Maybe you could consider giving the archive list a greyed-out look to denote that it's a special function. (@juliushaertl )
