@philwHow do you deal with 'done' card?
Wekan / General · August 12, 2020 at 4:25pmI'm wondering how you deal with done items, I see a few possibilities:
- Move to a done swimlane (can lead to a super long done column list)
- Move to an archived done swimlane (extra clicks to get there)
- Archive the card (extra clicks)
- Delete the card (not desirable, loss of information)
I am doing number 1 right now.

At Wekan code there is already examples how to duplicate board, export board, copy card, etc. So basically some new ways to copy/move/export/import can be added by anyone that has urgent need for those features.
Thanks @xet7 , I'm curious what do you do? Do you do number 1 as I have described and then when the project is complete you export the board?

If some board is full, I rename it for example to "Work 2020-07" and then start new board.
I do not export boards, because currently export to JSON does not export all data of board. I backup Wekan with mongodump
I use Wekan Snap version that automatically upgrades to newest Wekan version
with database migrations to new schema etc automatically
I also use Wekan Sandstorm version, there I backup grain by downloading to .zip file, or backup whole sandstorm to .tar file, as described in Sandstorm Backup page
And if I mess up something, I restore from backup
with mongorestore
Currently I'm fixing CSV export, and bug where only 20 newest comments are visible on card
I will also later add more import/export fixes, and ability to import/export from other apps
Locally I run wekan at desktop i5 computer that has SSD disk and 28 GB RAM
and remote server has NVME disk bare metal install with Wekan Snap and a lot of RAM

Hi Phil.
I´am do the "move to a 'done' swimlane". I also tryed out the "Archive the card". But with the possible options which will keep the Information (no card delete), i´m faced with the fact that the Card will ongoing show up on my calendar´s list. Do you have a solution for this? There is no need for a 'done' card to show up in my calendar list.
Thanks and Greetings
@thebigbloodyb If you move those done cards to another board, they don't show in current board's calendar. You can look at Board Settings / Rules, is it possible to automate it.

@xet7 I think this will do it for me. Unfortunately the Rules are not editabel, is that true or did i miss this option? Thanks for your help!
