Seeking Advice: Managing Complex Event Travel & Multi-Phase Timelines

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for some workflow advice on transitioning an Event Travel Schedule from Excel into Monday.com.

The Challenge: Our team (PMs, AMs, and Install Managers) travels weekly for project/events. Each event has three distinct phases: Install, Event, and Dismantle. The Goal: I want to sync this with our Master Project Board, which already houses the core dates and assigned leads. Ideally, I need a view that shows:

  • Chronological Event List: A clear list on the left-hand side.

  • Multi-Phase Timelines: A way to track the three separate date ranges (Install/Event/Dismantle) per item.

  • Personnel Tracking: Visibility into exactly when specific people are traveling.

  • Daily Calendar: A central view that acts as a "Daily Dispatch" or calendar.

The Hurdles:

  1. Multiple Timelines: Since Monday items usually favor one primary timeline, how are you handling three distinct phases without making the board impossible to read?

  2. Resource Management: How can I best visualize who is traveling on which specific days within those timelines?

Has anyone successfully built this? I’m open to creative board structures, Mirror column tricks, or third-party app recommendations.

Thanks in advance for any tips!
