Different columns for groups within the same board

I am pretty new to monday.com and I am working on making a board for my position as Director, Operations and Logistics.

I have been struggling to figure out if it is possible to have columns that are different for each group that are on one board. It would also be nice to have different columns for the various projects of the groups.

In doing this, my life would be much easier. This may be user error and if so, can someone please assist me?

What you are asking for is currently not possible. There is an active feature request that you can add your vote to here: Different columns in different groups within one board

I understand how that could be frustrating! Unfortunately, monday.com doesn’t currently support having different columns for each group within the same board. However, there are a couple of workarounds you can consider:

  1. Use Sub-Items: You can create sub-items within an item, and sub-items can have their own structure. This allows some level of customization, though not as granular as different columns for each group.
  2. Create Multiple Boards: You can set up separate boards for different groups or projects and then link them using connected boards columns. This way, you can maintain a high-level overview while keeping the details organized in separate boards.

Would you like more detailed instructions on how to set up sub-items or connected boards?
