The Column Board

The column board is the primary use case for the board, and the central way to create content in the SVS.

Structure​

The ColumnBoard is structured in three layers. It contains a number of Columns, each containing a number of Cards. Each of the cards can contain various Elements, which are the different forms of content, like RichTextElement, LinkElement, FileElement and so forth.

The ColumnBoard can be either rendered as such with the columns next to each other, or as a ListBoard with the Columns acting as sections rendered below each other.

Elements​

The ColumnBoard supports a wide and expanding list of element types, including:

  • RichTextElement for both plain and rich text, based on the CKEditor 5.
  • LinkElement for links to any website, with a cached preview image for privacy reasons.
  • FileElement for storing files using our FileStorage.
  • FileFolderElement for storing a large number of files at once.
  • VideoConferenceElement for starting video conferences using Big Blue Button
  • DrawingElement for collaborative Whiteboards using tldraw
  • CollaborativeTextEditorElement for using Etherpad
  • ExternalToolElement for including LTI Tools
  • H5pElement for including h5p content
