Card view interface with automatically generated calculated value
Embodiments of the present disclosure present a calculated value within a card view presentation in order to overcome technical problems in presenting useful card view presentations on mobile computing devices. In some embodiments, the calculated value is a summary, analysis, or other type of information generated based on data associated with cards that are in a given lane. In some embodiments, further technical problems relating to the limitations of the interface of the mobile computing device in adjusting calculated view settings are addressed by presenting a simplified configuration interface. The simplified configuration interface presents a mobile-friendly view of limited configuration settings to allow the user to easily change settings relevant to the calculated value and/or the card view, and thereby adjust the card view despite the limitations of the interface of the mobile computing device.
