This is a preview of how Focalboard could initially integrate with Mattermost: Where each channel (public and private) has an associated Focalboard workspace accessible to members of that channel.
|
||||
|
||||
## 🎯 To open a Focalboard workspace:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Log into the [Mattermost community server](https://community.mattermost.com/core/channels/focalboard) via the web, or create an account
|
||||
2. Visit the [Focalboard channel](https://community.mattermost.com/core/channels/focalboard)
|
||||
3. Click on the Focalboard icon in the channel header:
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
**Note**: Mattermost-Focalboard Early Preview is only available via a web browser, not via the Desktop or Mobile apps at this time.
|
||||
|
||||
You can then create or visit any other channel and click the Focalboard button there to open its workspace. **Tip**: Create a private channel or DM yourself to use a private workspace.
|
||||
|
||||
## Attention: You are entering the **bleeding edge**! :)
|
||||
|
||||
This feature is currently in Early Preview. Please do not store any critical or sensitive data. You have been warned.
|
||||
|
||||
This is also not the final form of the integration, but meant to start us thinking about how an integration should work. Have an idea or feedback? Let us know on the [Focalboard channel](https://community.mattermost.com/core/channels/focalboard).
|
||||
|
||||
Seriously though, it should be functional for basic project management:
|
||||
All available features should work (please [file a bug](https://github.com/mattermost/focalboard/issues/new/choose) if they don’t)
|
||||
It should be secure (you should not be able to access workspaces in channels you don’t belong to)
|
||||
|
||||
### Please [file bugs](https://github.com/mattermost/focalboard/issues/new/choose) for any issues. 🐞
|
||||
|
||||
## Tips and Tricks:
|
||||
1. Check out the [Focalboard user’s guide](https://www.focalboard.com/guide/user/) to get started
|
||||
2. [Export the archive](https://www.focalboard.com/guide/user/#archives) to backup all the boards in a workspace
|
||||
a. You can import them back later, to a different server or Personal Desktop
|
||||
b. Binary (image) file export / migration is not supported yet
|
||||
3. Want to assign a card to someone?
|
||||
a. Create a Select property, and enter each person’s name as text
|
||||
b. In the future, we plan a user-select property type
|
||||
4. If you see a sign-in or “no_workspace” error
|
||||
a. Your session token may have expired
|
||||
b. Click the button to re-login, then
|
||||
c. Close the tab, and click the Focalboard button to reopen
|
||||
d. Press Ctrl+Shift+R to force a full reload, close and reopen
|
||||
e. Try deleting the sessionId entry in local storage, close and reopen
|
||||

### Meeting Agenda Template
|
||||
|
||||
We've been using Focalboard on the [community server](https://github.com/mattermost/focalboard/discussions/349) for a few weeks now, and a few unexpected use-cases have emerged. One of them is using Focalboard for recurring meeting agendas, like team meetings and 1:1s.
|
||||
|
||||
<img width="846" alt="Meeting Agenda Template" src="https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/46905241/117484632-35b60b00-af1c-11eb-82c7-89e753a160cf.png">
|
||||
|
||||
For my own meetings, I started with the project tasks template, but have found for following columns work better:
|
||||
* To Discuss
|
||||
* Revisit Later
|
||||
* Done / Archived
|
||||
|
||||
Meeting participants queue new items under **To Discuss**. As we go through them, most are moved to done, but a few need followup. We move those to the **Revisit Later** column. The owner then moves it back to **To Discuss** for a future meeting.
|
||||
|
||||
Here's [the archive of the template](https://community.mattermost.com/core/pl/5qo11pe837ykue15bne9ke1snc) if you would like to try this out yourself:
|
||||
* Download the .focalboard archive file from the thread above
|
||||
* Select "Import Archive" under Settings at the lower left
|
||||
* Pick the archive file
|
||||
* (You may need to refresh the browser)
|
||||
* Click on **+ Add Board**, and pick "Meeting Agenda"
|
||||

||||

Thank you all so much for the enthusiasm and energy you've shown for Focalboard! To be perfectly honest, your enthusiasm is what enables us, as Mattermost, to direct more resources towards Focalboard. It wouldn't happen without you.
|
||||
|
||||
I want to give an update on our current plans for taking Focalboard to a "v1". As it says on the tin, we want Focalboard to be a compelling **open source, self-hosted alternative to Trello, Notion, and Asana**. Our immediate goal is to build out the common features in these reference products, that is, features that "80% of users" care about.
|
||||
|
||||
We're not going to stop there of course. One of our main differentiators is going to be **tight integration with Mattermost**. You can check out the [Early Preview of that here](../mattermost-focalboard-early-preview). The immediate benefit of this is gaining the security and access-control systems in Mattermost, e.g. the ability to specify per-workspace permissions.
|
||||
|
||||
We anticipate many other integrations over time, e.g.
|
||||
* [Unfurled card links](https://github.com/mattermost/focalboard/issues/386)
|
||||
* [Slash commands to create cards](https://github.com/mattermost/focalboard/issues/382)
|
||||
|
||||
In addition to that, here is an outline of the other things we anticipate completing before declaring a "v1", based on the goals above, and feedback to date. Standard disclaimers apply - no promises, this is the current plan until the plan changes, and many of these are at the exploratory stage. :)
