How to create a sitemap (or site list) board?

Does anybody have a suggestion on how to build a proper sitemap (site list)? I would like to be able to create a site list like for example for Espero

What I could do is copy paste the items into a board (see image) but then I am missing the indent which is crucial information for the structure of the site list.

Hey @Eltjo

Hope you’re well since leaving us here :slight_smile:

We are working on a form of sub-tasks which is in alpha testing at the moment.

This will give you the option to add items as sub-tasks into a sort of “secondary board” which will live inside the parent item. Clicking the parent item will open the board with sub-tasks in a sort of pop out.

Do you think this could work for this?

Hey Julia!

After leaving Tel Aviv I went on vacation for 3 weeks so I am great thanks! How are you?

I can advice everybody here to join the https://community.monday.com/t/join-the-monday-club-our-new-program-for-monday-coms-biggest-fans/1534 program, I really enjoyed meeting a lot of you guys and see the HQ of Monday in Tel Aviv.

As for the subtasks. I am really exited of them being implemented in Monday. I already have had contact with Shirley and a sneak preview of the new feature. Great stuff!
But the subtasks, as far as I have seen how they will be implemented (which offers great possibilities) is not a solution for my request which I describe here. For this use case I would love to be able to show a sitemap kind of structure in the items (so technically not per se a subtask, but more visually).

Cheers,
Eltjo

Hi Julia

Any update on when sub tasks will be available?

Thanks
Mark

I know you posted this a while ago but I’m new here and thought I’d try to answer/help.

If by sitemap you mean an .xml file for designing the structure of a website, e.g. which folders are in what sub-directories and which pages are within them then I probably wouldn’t use Monday for that task.

I’d suggest some tools specifically designed for the task, like:
Slickplan (has a free option but limits number of pages)
Screaming Frog - free, although you can’t design a sitemap in it, it can crawl another site and allows you to download their sitemap so you could edit it.
Visio (you’d need a license)
or an old fashioned Excel sheet saved as xml

Where Monday could be used is uploading the sitemap as csv import so each page becomes an item, then you could manage the development of each page within a monday board.

Thanks for the reply. I will try Slickplan, I never heard of that tool. Screaming Frog I know and I have been using it for quite some sitemaps. It also has a limit on the number of pages you can scan.

Uploading an xml into Monday is my workflow when it comes down to creating mij ‘sitemap’. I know it is nog a real sitemap but it does the trick for me; I have an overview of all pages and elements in a website or app and gives me the possibility to add statuses and external links (to Zeplin for example).

Cheers!
