Drill down on dashboard widgets

Hi,
On the dashboard page, it would be helpful if the reporting was more versatile. So far I have tried to set up some widgets to get an overview of things but most of the widgets are rather “dumb”. For example, there’s a widget showing total number of tasks across boards… ok why do i need to know how many tasks there are. And a slightly more useful widget shows the count of tasks labeled “in progress” - but we need the ability to click on this number and see the list of what the tasks are, not just a number. Same for the other widgets. Could a “drill down” feature be added so that we can see easily what is behind the visual graphs.
thanks for considering

Hi @wenzday, I believe you can do this, you just need to open the widget into full screen. Also have you tried creating a stacked bar chart, and using filters to see when tasks are overdue for example? Happy to show you what it can do over a free consultation. Link is below.

Hi Bruce, thanks for your response and for your consulting offer. Yes I do see that now that you need to click “fullscreen” in order to see the table. Still feels a little clunky.

There are a few apps that you could try if it is really bothersome, though it could take more time than it is worth and probably won’t be free. A quick search in the app marketplace gave me: Charts & Diagrams, More Charts, Super Charts, Reports & Charts by Appvibe, Visual Charts, Mermaid Charts and Diagrams, eazyBI Reports and Charts.

Thanks. I guess another reason is that the filtering doesn’t seem to be working on the widgets for some reason, but I created a ticket with monday.com today for that. who wouldv’e known that trying to get a report of what tasks were marked complete this week would take me over a week to do. Ironic.

Are you using the new, or old dashboard engine? Three dots in the top right corner will allow to you upgrade, or downgrade to check if it is that.
