It would be great to have a description as well as a title for a view. The display for the title is too short to add specific information about the logic of the query. Having a description would allow you to describe the intention of the view and additional specific instructions.
That’s an interesting idea! At the time, only the Main Table offers a description field which acts as a general board description. Perhaps you could add a Description text field to your app in order to help users specify a use case for your solution? Would that be a worthwhile solution for you?

Hi Alex
Thanks for the suggestion I’ll certainly give it some thought. Just to expand on my idea is that I have a number of different people that need to look at the same items but with different filters and also different columns. So it would be good to be able to add description to the view as to why I chose those columns and those filters so I can track who and what the views are for. I think I’ll be ending up with at least 25 different views to start with

Oh wow, thank you for elaborating! 25 Views does sound like quite a bit to work with, but I do think that adding a description field would be your best shot in this case to allow everyone to clarify the purposes of their views.
I’ll keep this open as a feature suggestion so that other developers could chime in if they have a similar need 
Thanks for helping us improve!

Bringing back to life this thread. Having by default a description aside from the title should be something too common. The workaround of having an additional description field would have been nice as long as it provided rich text support which it doesn’t. We gave it a try and it was completely dismissed, specially when we need to quote or enter block of code.
@AlexSavchuk wouldn’t it be possible to have an item detail by default across all cards? Or alternatively add the ability to enter rich text on long fields
Thanks
Despite the low number of votes, I think this is sorely needed. Views can’t have a long title or they all look the same. A simple description or an optional free-form text area on top would be a BIG help.
Hello @Jorge,
I have added your vote towards this request 
Thank you for the feedback!

Please add this feature!
I love how flexible Monday.com is, but with that flexibility comes a challenge—there’s no built-in way to explain how each view is supposed to be used.
Right now, when I create a view, I have to document instructions somewhere else (like a separate doc, a comment, or an update), and hope my team sees it. But that’s not ideal. People end up guessing how a view works or asking around, which slows everyone down.
What would make a huge difference is if each view had a simple description field that’s always visible at the top. That way, I can quickly explain the purpose of the view, how to use it, and any key processes—right where people need it. No more searching, no more confusion.
This feels like a low-effort feature with a massive productivity boost. Just a small text box in the view settings, always visible, where I can write instructions like:
- “Use this board to track our current sprint. Only move tasks when they’re ready.”
- “This view shows high-priority bugs. Update status when fixing.”
- Please view this doc [link] for how to groom the task
It’s such a small thing, but it would save so much time and make Monday.com even more powerful for teams like mine.
Would love to hear your thoughts on this!
Thanks
Don
