+
+[#4688](https://github.com/wekan/wekan/issues/4688) asked for cards grouped
+by assignee, clustered under each assignee's name as a heading, for a
+read-only overview well suited to a team stand-up.
+
+A card with several assignees appears under each; a card with none falls
+into "No assignee". The grouping reuses the same
+`NO_ASSIGNEE_GROUP`/`translateGroupLabel` fold the Dashboard and Time
+views already use (`models/lib/chartCalculations.js`), generalized into
+`computeCardsByAssigneeGroup`, which returns the grouped cards themselves
+rather than a count/hours total. Wired end to end like every other board
+view: a "Group by Assignee" Board View menu entry, an
+`isViewGroupByAssignee()` helper/`boardBody.jade` branch, the
+`client/lib/utils.js` whitelist, the `profile.boardView` schema and a
+tooltip-name-map entry. Each card row is a simple title + due date +
+overtime marker, deliberately not a minicard re-render, so the view stays
+lightweight for a board with many cards; clicking a card navigates to it
+like any other view, and there is no drag-and-drop or export - this is
+scoped as a read-only overview, not a second way to work the board.
