Hi everyone,
Has anyone here had to organize events (pro sports team competitions) across years (seasons) and could share their setup? As a newcomer to monday.com I am struggling a little to picture a setup that will make sense over time and avoid as much data entry as possible.
The team’s main timeframe is the season (1 calendar year). Their main operational focus is the competitions they decide to enter (100 or so each season, around the world). Each competition requires a ton of activities: roster selection, transport, finance, communication activities, staff, etc.
My challenge is organizing all this in a way that a) avoids as much data entry as possible, b) keeps current races front and center and c) is sustainable over several years.
Was going with:
- A Workspace for each season (year)
– a folder for each competition
— a subfolder for each dept involved
---- a board for each activity required - Possibly a workspace for each dept (for season-independent elements)
With 150+ possible events per year I’d need a way to automate the creation of event folders from a trigger (competition is entered → folder, subfolders and boards are created) and keep current and upcoming event folders up front (or make past events folders less prominent).
Events list can be imported and selected events can become “entered” with a status change but since neither folder and subfolder creation nor sorting can be automated (correct?) I think I am stuck here.
And with Workspaces not duplicatable either I would have to rebuild this every year?
This all feels like a rather basic scenario that many companies participating in events would face. Am I missing something?
Any guidance and tips most welcome.
Thanks,
David
