Need Improved Printing Features

Hello. I understand that Monday.com is looking to be a digital solution, however, much of the work created here might need to be reported to other individuals who do not want to access Monday.com. Frequently Board of Directors or the Executive Team are going to want Monday.com created documents in their reports. Why does this become important? Because these executive reports usually include multiple sources of information coordinated into one summarized document for their review. Currently the printing feature on Monday.com is lackluster to say the best. Example - Trying to print out a gannt chart doesn’t present as a report but as a screen print. It looks terribly unprofessional and unpolished. There are two critical parts to any program used - 1. The ease of operation and 2. Final output (e.g. report customization, report printing, impact data, etc.).

Is it possible to create better printing options? The PDF report BETA is currently not an improvement over the Print a Board feature. Actually, its not valuable at all as it does not allow any modification to data being captured in pdf.

Totally agree. For the premium that we are paying, it’s a bit ridiculous that Monday can’t figure out printing properly. The feature is pretty much non-existent to say the least.

Currently the most logical work around is to export the board to Excel, and work our way from there to print things.

Hey @hardiyanto.dharma and @AMay, I wanted provide an update on our printing feature. We are in the process of removing the print button and creating a better printing/exporting system for our users. We are planning to improve our reporting system for executive needs. Currently, the export to PDF’ offers same functionality as print, but with better results including:

  • Formatting to ensure full widget length/width
  • Supporting more widgets (e.g. gantt)
  • Removing unneeded information

We value and take into consideration community feedback in our development decisions and encourage you to continue to vote and submit features.

Hi Juliette

Can you let me know if there is an option to become part of beta testing for this? The auto-expand option does not seem to happen on Export-to-pdf, and I would be very interested. Im working with a client that havs circa 500 user Monday account and export to Pdf/print would be really beneficial.

Thanks

First you remove and than users have to wait for and even if there will be a substitute? That is not user friendly improving your product is it?

Monday.com literally prevents me from printing in the only user friendly way Monday.com has for printing right now. When I try to send the document to PDF it gives me an error. There is no other way to currently print, this is completely ridiculous.

Has there been any update for printing/exporting? @Julietteb

Hi, I am also looking to be able to print the boards more clearly. My manager likes to see things on paper, not just on the screen. The boards export to Excel and print ok unless you are trying to see the subitems as well, in which case it’s just a mess.
