At monday.com, we love to make everything visual: colors, graphs, shapes, and more! For this reason, we came up with the amazing board views. The board views allow you to visualize your board's information in multiple different ways in order to analyze and report on your board data.  📊 📈 📉    

 

How to add a view 

To add a board view, click on the + icon located right below your board's title: 

Clicking on "More views" will direct you to our Views Center where you can find all of the useful views options that we have to offer. 

 

Two Types of Views

You have the option to view your board's data via a Dashboard View or a Board View. The Board Views will allow you to see your data in one form while with a Dashboard, you can display different widgets to see your data in multiple ways. 

• Board View

The board views will let you display your data in one single configuration. The board views listed below can be added directly as a board view and will give you a full-screen experience.

All other widgets are added as a single widget on a blank dashboard. You have the option to add additional widgets if you want, or you can expand the widget into full screen using these steps:

 

While you can resize a widget by dragging and dropping the corner to the desired size, docking your widget will maximize the space on your screen so that you can see just your widget without all the clutter and extra toolbars!

To dock your widget, simply click the 3-dot menu at the top right corner of your widget and click "Dock this widget".

To undock a widget, simply reverse these steps by clicking the 3-dot menu in the board views toolbar and selecting "Undock this widget". 

 

• Dashboard View

To add a Dashboard view, click on the + icon and select "dashboards" as below: 

Once a Dashboard view is added, you can add as many other widgets as you'd like from the Widgets Center to create an actual Dashboard within your main board. Dashboard views allow you to create reports using widgets connected to one board.

Here, we have the Table View filter set to person, where we can view one person's activities from the board:

Switching between views

Once you've added a view to your board, you can switchback to your main board view by selecting "Main Table" tab at the top left of your screen as so: 

 

You can add multiple views to your board and they will all be located at the top of your board for you to access whenever you need! 

 

Choose favorites

If you have multiple views on your board, you can choose to "favorite" your most-used views, so that they will be presented first on the top left of your board for easy access! To do so, hover the board view name and press on the three dot menu that appears. From there, press "Add to my favorites" and that view will jump to appear right next to the main table view.

To remove a view as your favorite, simply follow the same steps above and select "Remove from my favorites".

 

Set a default view

Board owners can set a default view for all board viewers and subscribers. To set a default view, open up the same three-dot menu beside the name of the view that you wish to select (it must first be added to your board). Next, click "Set as board default" as we've done below: 

The default can be switched at any time by following these steps with a different view, including the Main Table view.

You can choose to see a view in split screen mode with the Main Table view below it. To do so, click on the three dot menu (More options) located in the top right of your specific view and select "Settings." Next, click on "Display type" and then "Split Mode." You will be able to see this view in split-screen mode with the Main Table view below it when it is in full-screen mode:
