Project Overview board with details from multiple boards

I’m wanting to see an overview of multiple boards in Work Management. I have set up some automations which go to a Project Overview board so I can see items with specific statuses, and their due dates - eg. show an item in the Project Overview board if the status is ‘in progress’, ’stuck’ or ‘paused’.

I can see the items listed in the Project Overview board and the status and due date columns that I added but the status and due date columns are empty so the report is only half filled. How can I fix this?

Hi @Sarah_Loop, are you on Enterprise Tier? The Portfolio Solution is worth looking at if you are. If not then I would love the chance to try and provide you with a solution using our monday app called Master Data if you are free for a quick 15 minute meeting to go through the finer details?

To fix empty status and due date columns in your Project Overview board, check the following:

  1. Verify Automation Settings: Ensure your automation includes transferring column data (e.g., status and due date) when items are moved between boards.
  2. Use Column Mirroring: Add mirror columns on the Project Overview board to pull data directly from the original boards’ status and due date columns.
  3. Review Permissions: Make sure you have the necessary access to view the columns on the source boards.
  4. Check Data Validity: Ensure that items in the source boards have valid data in their status and due date columns.
  5. Re-run the Automation: Trigger the automation again to see if the columns populate.
  6. Contact Support: If issues persist, reach out to Monday’s support for help.

These steps should help populate your columns with the correct data.
