How do we get Feature Requests onto the Monday Roadmap and implemented?

[JohnW (John Waller)]

This is not a complaint but a genuine question.

While we’re immersed in the current hype of Monday 2.0 and Work OS, when will existing Feature Requests be addressed so that the basics on Monday.com can be improved and our existing daily workflows be enhanced?

I have posted dozens of feature requests in the past 12 months in these forums. I don’t think one has been implemented or appeared on the Roadmap yet.

I acknowledge that I’m not an orphan. I’m sure that applies to many other feature requests posted by many others here.

If you need examples:

Visual indication on each pulse that there is information in an Info Box + checklists in Info Boxes

Request a visual indicator on each pulse that there is information in an info box. Looking at a pulse in a board, there is currently no way to know there is more information in that task without clicking several times into it. [image]

Allow admins to administer ALL boards

Hi Monday, I strongly suggest to give admin users the ability to see and do everything with every board (except private boards of course). At this moment, an administrator cannot do his work, since he is not aware of the existence of shareable boards, unless someone subscribed him to them. Once subscribed, he may be an admin, but still cannot change board subscribers and change everything he deems necessary, unless he is assigned ‘board owner’ by the registered board owners (who may be users …

Recurring Task Automation: Reset status column every month/week/x date

We have monthly recurring tasks in our SOP boards. I would like the ability to reset the status column every month automatically.

New Timeline column version doesn't let easily change the start or the end date

Something changed with the Timeline column over the past few weeks and instead of letting me separatly choose the start and end date, I have to always select the start and the end date even if I only want to change the end date. That’s quite annoying if the timeline spans over many months. Or maybe I just don’t know how to use the new Timeline column version, it’s not so intuitive.

Assign weight by color in Status and Progress columns

As a user, I would appreciate a higher degree of granularity/depth between the Status and Progress columns. I believe it would be a great thing to allow weight distribution by status color/label and have the progress column calculate it’s own weight based on these instead of a 0%/100% limitation just on the done status.

Area for board level information and resources

It would be really helpful to be able to attach resources related to a board to the board itself instead of individual pulses. This could include discussion on the board itself, resource files that apply to the board overall, info boxes, instructions on how to use the board etc. Right now all we have is one text box underneath the board name.

Pulse Email Integration - Copy Pulse Email Address

One of the powerful features I enjoy with Pulse is the ability for me to forward an email to a specific Pulse so that it’s added to our notes. What is cumbersome, is having to remember the Pulse ID and then adding it to the “complicated” unique email address. What would be nice is if there was a Pulse Context Menu item that allowed us to quickly copy to the clipboard a specific Pulse’s email address. This would then result in the following email address in the users clipboard for easy pasting…

Any way to make a due date a required entry in the date column in a board when creating a new pulse/item?

We have users who enter a pulse and person but often neglect to put a due date in the date column due to laziness or lack of time. They say they’ll come back to it but never do. Any way to make a date column a required column in a board when creating a new pulse/item? I know required fields are a feature of forms but we need required dates in boards.

None of these are ground-breakers. Just enhancements to make our daily workflows more efficient because we do them every minute of every day.

Any chance of some progress on these JDI (Just Do It) features? What we in Australia call one-per-centers (1%-ers).

As a final note, I am of course not expecting that every feature request will be implemented. We never get all our wishes granted with any software unless we code it ourselves. However, it would be good to know which features requests will Not Proceed (so we can stop posting “+1’” and “me too” on them) and which are being considered.

Im agree with you, i have posted many feature request, some of them have been answered (not implemented) and some others are without answer. In this cases i suggest you to contact directly with support@monday.com in order to get an answer.-

I think its better to do it here in monday community, but without a daily administration of the site, this will get users tired like your case (i think all monday guys will have another task to do rather than only answering our asks and request via communities).

Also i think monday himself its more powerful than this site, i can imagine a board with all account admins invited and uploading all feature request and see his status, get the interaction improved via voting, etc.

I am totally satisfied with monday.com and all its people, they make our work super easy every day, the only thing I would ask from its founders is to pay better attention to the requested improvements that are really critical in a common user (my example is the poor functioning of the timetracking column, obviously there are more). There has to be an alarm sound on monday.com when most users are asking similar things that really are headpain to us.

i have suggested that too

@JohnW total valid point. you mentioned just but a few but I’ve seen many others that don’t seem extremely difficult to implement and we’ve yet to see them implemented.

@hlopezvc

(i think all monday guys will have another task to do rather than only answering our asks and request via communities).

I’m sure they’re busy. We all are. But these communities exist to promote dialogue between users and Monday.com.

I’m not expecting rapid responses from Monday staff to individual feature requests here. What they do here, they do very well. Congrats to Monday staff for all your efforts in dealing with us users.

But reviewing Feature Requests here over the past 12 months, very few if any have made it to the Roadmap or into the software itself. It would be good to know if any are even being considered, especially those with lots of votes.

I’m a regular contributor to other software forums including Adobe. Feature requests (FRs) are handled the same on those forums but I do see some FRs gradually appear in betas and final releases over time.

I just cannot recall any user requests posted in these forums appearing in Monday.com since we joined early last year.

Agreed.

The founders have great vision. Can’t wait to see its evolution this year.

But the basic features are lacking in some key areas which we use daily, as is evident from these forums. I’d love to see some dev time given to these improving details.
