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.  📊 📈 📉

The Table View

The Table View gives you the option to see a filtered view of the main table of your board. For instance, you can filter by person, status, column, or group. This can help hide certain information that is not relevant for your needs. Here, we have the filter set to "Discussion leader", where we can view one person's items from the main table:

The Blank View

Can't decide which view you want? Similar to a dashboard, the Blank View is a great place to choose multiple widgets to display on one page. 

 

 

Switching between views

We offer the option to collapse the board header and access or add board views from one menu, so you can focus on what's most important, and to increase your work efficiency by avoiding unnecessary distractions.

Once you've added a view to your board, you can switch back to your main board view, or another board view, by selecting the dropdown arrow next to the board view name.

 

If you choose to expand the board header, your board views will appear as tabs at the top of your board. To expand the board header, click on the dropdown "arrow" icon to the right of your board header. 

 

Lock a view to prevent unwanted edits

Do you have a view that you worked hard on to filter to your specific needs? Did you set up a table view with specific configurations that you don't want others to mess with? Luckily, you can now lock a view that you created to prevent others from changing it!

 

 

To do this, click on the three-dot menu to the right of a view that you created and select "Lock view". In the following screen, click on "Lock view" once again to confirm the change. 

 

 

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, select the dropdown arrow next to the board view, select the three dots icon that appears next to the board view name, and select "Add to my favorites".  That view will jump to appear right below 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: 

 

 

Sharing views publicly

Publish your boards, embed them in your website, and make them accessible to everyone on the web! Check out how it works right here  

Export your board views

Easily share the current state of your board view with colleagues by exporting your widgets to an Excel or PDF document! To do this, click on the three-dot menu at the top right of your board view and then select  "More actions" and then "Export to PDF", as shown below.

 

 

Restoring deleted views

You can easily reinstate a deleted board view through your activity log. To find the activity log, click on your profile image at the top right-hand side of your board. This will open up the activity log for that particular board, displaying all the changes and updates made on the board. From here you can select the "Undo" button next to your deleted view.
