Build your boards
A board is where your groups of items are held. It's a virtual whiteboard where projects are stored as a way to keep track of everything from everyday tasks to month/year-long projects. The sky is the limit when it comes to how you can use your boards! They can be to do lists, contact sheets, questionnaires, project lists, detailed project management, or shift management!
To create a new board, click the blue '+' icon at the bottom right corner of your screen, like this:
Next, you can choose from any of our pre-made templates, or create your own!
Let's take a little tour of the board!
- Groups
Our board's items are divided into groups. My groups represent the days of the week, but you can make them anything, including different weeks, people, locations or sites, clients, projects, or teams!
Groups are a way to categorize the items on your board so that they're easier to work with.
- Items
Within each group, we have items. My items are the tasks that my team needs to work on each day of the week, but the sky is the limit for the types of items you can build your board with.
- Columns
Horizontally across our board, we have columns! We can add whichever columns we want from the Column Center depending on the nature of our board!
To learn more about how to create a new board from your mobile app, take a look at this article.
- Boards from workspaces
You can access all of your boards in a Workspace by clicking on the "⌄" icon next to your workspace name and choosing which workspace you want to access. Once opened, all your boards in that Workspace will appear. From your Workspace selection you can also toggle to view your favorite boards or boards you recently visited.
Communicate with your team
- Invite team members
Before you can collaborate with your team members, you need to first invite them to join your account! Check out this article to learn how! When you've added all of your team members, you can subscribe them to your boards!
Click the 3 dot menu at the top right corner of the board you'd like to add members to, and then select "Board Members":
Next, you can add yourself or other team members by clicking "Add board members":
- The Updates Section
The first column on our board always contains the names of our items. To the right of the item's name, we can see a speech bubble that often has a number inside. This speech bubble represents the item's updates, and the number reflects the number of updates on each item! If we click on an item, we can take a closer look.
Head over to the item's "Updates" tab to see all of the item's updates and replies! This is where all the communication on our boards happens. Give a thumbs up, or reply with '@ mention's, pictures, and files!
Stay in the know
With all the seamless communication your team experiences while using monday.com, you'll want to stay up to date and in the loop from your mobile app! Which is why you'll love checking your Bell Notifications and your Inbox from wherever you are!
- Bell Notifications
You will receive Bell Notifications whenever something important happens in your account that involves you, such as getting assigned tasks in the people column, being mentioned in an update, or receiving replies to your updates. Reach your Bell Notifications from the left pane, like this:
You can mark your notifications as "read" or delete them on the go!
- Mobile Notifications
When you enable Mobile Notifications (from your Settings menu), you can receive all of your notifications directly on your mobile device, so you never miss an important update!
- Inbox
The Inbox is where you will see all updates from boards you are subscribed to, even if you are not specifically mentioned in that update or assigned to each item. You can think of this as a news feed, where you can see everything your team has posted on those specific boards.
Reach the Inbox from the three dots at the bottom right-hand corner of the screen, like this:
You can reply, react with emojis, or click the update to see it inside the board it was posted in!
