I often find that it would be very helpful to have instructions attached to a board that are obvious and can be accessed by the user with a single click (or zero clicks).
In the past, putting simple instructions in the board header description worked. Now with the new board layout this does not work as well.
One obvious solution for this and other related purposes would be to enable a workdoc to be connected to a board as a view (or similar structure).
I recently had this need and took another look at how to best accomplish this… I found no current solution satisfactory.
Adding my voice to bump up this thread. With how media rich Workdocs can be, this seems like a much more useful widget than the “Text” one and seems like a natural extension/use case for the Workdoc feature.
Following because we have an extensive quality management system with relevant documents that users need to access while inside of a board and the only way I’ve found to do so is with file columns or file gallery but that still requires me to include a file column.
I can use this and link to the document we’ve created (not a Monday doc) elsewhere in our system. So this is a work around that could achieve the same outcome.
Add multiple doc views per board: So you can do something like this: a view for Policies, a view for Requirements, and a view for Reporting, all on the same board Maintain control over your board: Only board owners can add docs Maintain doc permissions: If they can see a doc normally, they can see it in the view Clean, read-only viewing: Nobody will accidentally alter your docs. A link in the UI allows you to make edits quickly.
I can see it on all our boards. Maybe it’s slowly rolling out to all customers, or maybe because we’re marketplace developers. Hopefully you’ll be able to see it within a few days
