When we signed up to Monday.com it never even occurred to us that a board limit would exist. We assumed that all functionality would be account-wide.
Based on my reading of these forums, most people here seem to work with dozens of active boards, often constantly changing.
So I hope Monday.com have these orders of magnitudes in mind when reviewing board limits vs system performance? Simply doubling or tripling allowances won’t address the issue as far as I can see.
The other issue with board limits is changing which boards are required to be connected to Dashboards.
We often archive boards and create new ones. Updating the boards linked to dashboard widgets is another layer of admin which it seems we must keep track of and manually update. Can Monday provide a better updating option?
There are steps being done towards this.
We (everyone with access to monday.labs) just got the new beta features “Use Dashboard cache” and “New dashboards data structure” both features are proof that we are moving in the right direction. Especially the latter is revolutionary for the Dashboard load times. Instead of loading the board(s) ones per widget the Dashboard now loads the board(s) ones for the entire Dashboard and apply the data to all widgets. This is also what allows for Global Dashobard filtering.
IMO this means that we are close co a much higher (maybe even unlimited) count of boards per dashboard.
I know that the devs are working in parallell with making adding board(s) of similar type (based on same template) easier and without need of configuration.
@Danielle-monday.com would you be able to provide an update on ETA? The limit on boards per dashboard is becoming a real issue for us - especially because there don’t seem to be any workarounds.
We are also very interested to know and hear more about the feature to have a higher (maybe unlimited) count of boards per dashboard, especially for the work load widget.
We are transitioning from Asana to Monday.com and this is a critical tool for us. Seeing all of our boards in one place with estimated hours (either in workload widget or ‘my week’ view) is huge.
Hi @Thomas-Omnitas@Danielle-monday.com@Julia-monday.com Do you have any updates on this matter please? Our small company requires more than 10 boards to be included in our widgets asap. This is currently limiting our reporting capabilities, which is why we chose Monday.com in the first place. Many thanks.
I know it probably isn’t the answer you were looking for. But if you need more than 10 boards per Dashboard/ widget, you will have to upgrade to Enterprise where you will have capacity up to 50 boards per Dashboard.
Hey @Thomas-Omnitas and @jelitots if you open a ticket with Monday Sale’s Team, telling about your necessity, it’s possible that they grows your quantity of boards per widget. In my company, we have 20 boards. I almost left the Monday because of this limitation, when they give to me this possibility, I stayed and stay up to now, satisfied.
you’re correct @JohnW but I understand that the reason of this is for understand whats the customers need. If a lot of customers need the same thing, the business plan default might be change.
Yeah, it’s really hard for us also, because it does not justify our company to upgrade to Enterprise, and we already have to buy a bunch of extra seats that we don’t use because there’s this weird grouping system for pricing that only makes sense if you’re really small o really bit, for the average company, these jumps of 10 then 35 seats are A LOT. Then imagine having to double what you pay per seat, specially seats you don’t use, just because you want to add more than 20 boards do a dashboard.
I mean, offer it as an addon of 1 dollar per user to add more boards or something like that, but this knife to throat approach makes us feels almost like jumping to cheaper competition that doesn’t have these weird arbitrary limits.
Just hit this roadblock as well. Very difficult to get an aggregate view of all activity within a team when dashboards a limited to 5 boards and we do not need an enterprise account. @Julia-monday.com can you message me the information mentioned above as well? Thanks.
Hey @Julia-monday.com and @Danielle-monday.com. I would like to know if there are any updates on this issue. I recently joined a growing company that had been underutilizing and even considered abandoning Monday.com. I believe this platform can be an integral part of our growth, and have been actively advocating expanding our use there of. This issue however, has become the single sticking point that is keeping us from cementing full adoption at a higher level within the company. We are on the brink of upgrading to Enterprise edition which would otherwise be a worthwhile investment for us, but the 50 board limit is a deal breaker. Obviously we would love to see unlimited boards included at any level, but even if we had to pay a premium for the Project Portfolio Management functionality that an increased board limit would offer, we would be extremely interested. I believe that is what many of us here are really looking for: the ability to continue using Monday.com as we grow to a scale that necessitates not only Project Management, but Project Portfolio Management. I for one would love to see Monday.com expand into that arena.
While we wait monday to increase their dashboard limits, I just wanted to mention that we have developed an add-on, which allows aggregating data from any number of boards into charts that can be placed on monday dashboards. You can also perform calculations between columns on different boards using the Calculated column feature. You can learn more from this blog post.
I leave your live about few minutes ago. I understood, after your CEO not show my question to you, that you don’t work with Time Tracking Column insted of, you use an Interger Column called Hour. I understood that you solution is very cool for many people, but for me, essencially, I need to work with Time Tracking Column.
