We’ve been actively using the Time Tracking Column across multiple boards, but we’ve run into a few challenges that make it hard to fully use this feature:
Board limitation: Hours are only visible within the board where they’re logged. There’s no native way to see time entries across multiple boards.
Per-user totals: Users (and managers) can’t get a simple view of total hours logged per person across all boards/projects.
Self-tracking: Individual team members can’t easily see their personal total hours worked across boards in a week or month without exporting data.
Dashboards are limited: While dashboards can pull in some data, they are restricted by board limits and don’t fully solve the problem for larger teams.
What are you trying to achieve
Why this matters:
Time tracking is critical for productivity, billing, and capacity planning. Having a centralized per-user hours report (both for admins and for each user individually) would make Monday a complete solution without needing external integrations or manual exports.
Feature Request:
A User Hours Summary View that shows total hours logged by each user across all boards they are assigned to.
A Personal Hours Dashboard where each user can see their own tracked time across all projects/boards.
Ability to filter by timeframe (week, month, custom range) for easy reporting.
This would help freelancers, managers, and teams who use Monday as their primary project hub.
In terms of time tracking reporting, I’ve put together an article covering all the available native ways to report on time tracking in monday.com. I hope you’ll find it helpful.
Playing this back - the current native Time Tracking Column only surfaces hours within each individual board, but not in aggregate. Dashboard are restricted by board limits which doesn’t scale appropriately for large teams
How many boards/team members do you have? (just to get a sense of the scale)
How do you solve this problem now? Do you manually compose the data with a spreadsheet or some other tool?
Have you looked at third party integrations like Tracket or Everhour? If so, what made you decide against them - cost, complexity, or they still don’t solve the problem at scale?
What would consume the User Hours Summary View and the Personal Hours dashboard? Let’s say you had this already, with the ability to filter by timeframe. Do you extract this data and load into excel (or some other tool)? Or is the dashboard view itself the endpoint, and you just want quick answers to questions about logged hours?
@kindra_ai you can overcome those limitations by using the Analytics & Reports add-on by Screenful. It can report time tracking fields across multiple boards per user and in total (within the selected date range). The charts can be placed on a Monday dashboard or shared via email or Slack. You can learn more from this guide.
Hi @Alyssa1!
You’ve described a very common challenge the native Time Tracking column is too limited when it comes to cross-board visibility and per-user summaries.
Our Time in Status for monday.com app was built to solve exactly that. It lets you generate detailed time reports across multiple boards, track total hours per user or per item, filter by time range (week, month, custom), and even visualize everything in dashboards. You can also export the reports for billing or capacity planning.
It’s a powerful way to turn scattered time tracking data into actionable insights for teams and managers.
