Ability to drag/dop a user into an item for assignment

[UweParticipant]

Hello,
I’d like to have the users with their pictogramms on top and if an items needs a re-assignment, Id like to drag/drop a user over the item and assign him this way.
Is this something that is already implemented? Any example code available?

Hello Uwe,

You could try to use our demos as a base.
Please, take a look at this demo:

Instead of text with item’s counting could set desired ‘pictogram’.

Hello Hristo,

thanks for your replay. I am not sure if I have expressed my wish correctly.

What I want is a separate list of users above the Kanban board (with pictogramms). (this is what I have implemented already)
Then, I want to drag/drop one of these pictogram users over to one of the existing items in the board, to reassign this item to the pictograms’ user.

Is this something what I can implement somehow?

Hello Volker,

Unfortunately, we do not have such demo.
But you could try to create a workaround and I would like to suggest you one approach.
You could use jqxSortable (for a list of users “with pictograms” or another suitable widget) and use start and stop events.
When drop one item collect the info (var item = event.args.item[0]), after that with calculation of offset (var offset = args.offset), originalPosition, and etc.
And to update an particular item of the Kanban – this var items = $('#jqxKanban').jqxKanban('getItems'); could be useful and this one $('#jqxKanban').jqxKanban('updateItem', itemId, newContent);.
I cannot warrant for this scenario.
Thank you for your understanding.
