Add filtering functionality to Board Updates dashboard widget

The Board Updates widget is a great addition to dashboard. I would like to also have the ability to filter on the updates just like with other widgets. Ideally the whole dashboard would update to match whatever is set in the filter. Right now the charts and graphs adjust, but the Board Updates do not.

+1 on this

I want to build a dashboard where the whole team can see all of the updates but I only want the team to see updates with a certain hashtag or by a certain person (for example, I want to hide the automation updates because they are needed per item but not for the whole team), or I’d like them to see only updates that contain a link or a piece of media.

Hi, I would like to know if it was possible to perform the mirror view.

We manage our bug board in Monday and I made a dashboard for account teams to see issues that affect specifically their customers, I’d like to be able to filter updates to make it easier for those account teams to see the most recent update activity only for the issues relevant to their customers.

Surprised more people are not requesting this feature. I love the updates section but do find it tricky to report on currently. This would really help

Re-upping this! Has anyone heard from Monday if they would consider adding this feature? It would drastically improve the usability of our dashboards.

Hello @ingridbee ,
Alternatively, you can try the Board Email Reports app that has a set of reports dedicated to item updates:

  • Updates by a specific employee
  • Updates mentioning a specific employee
  • Updates containing attachments
  • Status updates
  • Last updates
    The app consolidates item updates over a specific period and automatically delivers them via email with a roundup of changes and detailed xls-report as an attachment. This is how it looks:

You can test the app for free and find out if it works for you.
Just mention here other participants on the request who this information might be relevant to: @sharonr , @treswm , @JanieW , @rwbdrewamstutz .

Bumping this thread! The board updates widget only allows you to select a board, it would be awesome if you could filter which items’ updates show up in that widget. Particularly with the introduction of scheduled PDF exports, I want to be able to tailor sections of the dashboard to particular information!
