Client-facing anonymized company task queue view
I'd love the option to share a read-only Kanban view with clients that shows where their project sits in our overall workload, without revealing any details about other clients' work.
How it would work
The view would use the standard Kanban board with the usual columns. The client's own cards would appear with full details. Every other card would be anonymized: the title, company name, and other identifying information would be replaced with a generic label like "Another Project." Each anonymized card would still show its priority level and its estimated duration in days, calculated from the card's start date and due date.
By default, cards would be sorted by priority, then by start date (using the existing start date sort option), with the deadline as a final tiebreaker.
Why it's useful
At a glance, clients could see exactly where their project falls in the queue for each stage of work. This gives agencies an easy way to be more transparent about turnaround times and helps set realistic expectations without extra back-and-forth.
Controls
Since not every agency will want to share this, the view should be optional and off by default. Ideally it could be enabled or disabled per client for maximum flexibility.

We have a way to disable clients interacting with the board, but we do not have a way for clients to view only their cards and not other clients. This is off by default and each client is specific to their own board. We do not have plans on combining multiple client boards into one outside of what workspace members can access (the default compiled board page that’s only available to workspace members)

The goal of the original feature request was to give clients visibility into the entire company queue across all boards, while keeping the specific details of other projects hidden. This would allow them to see where their own projects stand in line, rather than disabling their ability to interact with the board entirely.

And I assume this is with the nested board system we have in place now?

From a developer's perspective, you could reuse the code from the "All Tasks" board and apply it as an option for each client's board. For requests from other clients, the card would simply display "Another Client Project" and restrict access to private details. This could also lay the groundwork for a premium upgrade, allowing clients to pay for higher priority and move their projects ahead of others because they can see where they stand against the others.
