Monday Doc available View on a Board

We would love to be able to add a Monday Doc as a Board View.

The purpose would be to include a Project Brief, communicate at a high level regarding the board, rather than an individual item.

Hi Samantha,
How would you benefit from such a feature?
Or you just want to find the doc easier by having it connected to the board?

Hi Julia,

Here are some examples where it would be a valuable feature:

  • We utilize a board to manage a registration process. There are many different teams engaged in this process. If I could, I would like to add a View to the board with a Monday Doc to house the SOP for the registration process. The SOP is relative to the entire Board and not just one Item.

  • We utilize a board to manage Project X. I love using the Project Overview template available in Monday Doc, and wish I could include it as a View Tab on the Board.

  • We utilize a board to provide visibility to the team of our hybrid work schedule. The Calendar View is great for this! It would be great to include another View of a Monday Doc with Policies & Reminders for our department expectations.

  • We utilize a board to manage the Sales Organization. One of the columns on the board identifies their Sales Tier. It would be great to include a View on this Board with a Monday Doc that defines each of the tiers & relevant expectations and performance metrics. This would be applicable to the whole board, rather than an individual item.

I hope that helps! I encourage any other ideas where you may find value in this feature.

This would be really helpful! Currently we have a workaround by using items on the board, but it would be much better if we could have it as a view to reduce the number of items.

Also having it as an item requires more clicks. Having it on the side panel doesn’t work because we have a lot of projects so the docs will add up and become a mess. We also don’t want to have clients exit the board to view project specs.

It would be great if we could add docs as a board view. That way we could have e.g. rolling notes for a project embedded with the board for easy access. I’m aware we can do a column to add a doc to each item, but we just need a doc for the board, not each separate item.

Agree - this would be really useful. We are a small PMO who have set up a process where each approved project will auto-generate a Project Board based on a template. If I could include a Docs view/section within each one the project team could use that rather than saving random Docs all over the place that dont link to the main project (issue around naming conventions etc too). Would just prefer it all be in 1 place.

I have been hoping for this to happen since we found out docs were happening. For the exact reason Samantha said that building SOP’s that are specific to how that board operates would be so helpful to have as a board view along the top (similar to forms). Right now we have to add a item to the board that is separate taking up its own group for SOP’s or we have one master board of a bunch of different process’s which no one goes looking for.

I too was just looking for this kind of view specific to a project board. This would be very helpful!

This would be super helpful on our projects so we would have a place to put travel information in an easy to find space. I’m currently using a white board for it and it just looks messy

This would be super helpful for us as well! We use boards to track client specific tasks but would benefit from a doc that showed how to handle specific tasks for that particular client.

I would love this too. we are creating knowledge articles on the DOC function - we would like to add then inside the relevant boards instead of adding links. Same for Action items it’s really nice to create them on Doc but the workaround or adding links are too clumsy solution for us. Thank you

This would be fantastic and solve a lot of problems for my department. I project manage for a marketing department and in-house creative agency. We use boards for all types of marketing and separate creative projects that coordinate across multiple teams.

Having Monday Doc as a view would help us with specs and Creative Briefs, as my users constantly struggle to find out where to look up details on a project within its Board. The advanced formatting it gives would be great to collaborate on an entire Board.

It’s shocking it isn’t already a feature, as it seems like something obviously needed and available in systems like Workfront’s Project Details with custom forms.

I would also love to see the Monday Doc feature as a Widget we could add to any dashboard or view.

To take from Samantha on our uses:

  • We utilize a board to manage our onboarding process. I wish I could add a View to the board’s top navigation with a Monday Doc to house the instructions for the one onboarding the new hire.

  • We utilize a board for every separate creative project we manage and coordinate, of which we have about 35+ new projects per month, some of which last from 5 to 60 days. I would love to use a formatted Monday Doc as a View Tab on the top Board for the easy to find and the formatted it provides, as it’s not useful as a column item on our item schedule list. Currently we use a Blank view with the Text Widget.

  • We utilize a dashboard to implement training. I would love to include a View of a Monday Doc with SOPs, Process Steps, and Policies for our department and teams.
