Workload View: Please increase 10 board limit to 20?

I was sooo excited to show my boss a proof-of-concept of using the Workload View for our capacity management across Monday projects in separate boards. I was saddened when I went to implement a full demonstration when I hit the 10 board limit. My heart is broken with this powerful new capability: it is teasing me beyond my reach. We need at least 20 Monday board projects at a time. Sigh…is this possible?

Hey @jpdow01 have a look here:

I’ve already asked for a similar request, so please vote in order to get a response by Monday’s staff.

Cheers

Thanks Pablo. I agree with your request and voted for that. I just had covinced my boss to go with Pro - there is no way we will be able to upgrade to Enterprise. 10 projects is not very usable. Jim

Agreed. Same here.

These arbitrary board limits in Monday are really frustrating and prevent full use of features which should be account-wide.

We have dozens of boards, so any limit is painful.

Monday is making a lot of noise about being a Work OS then they throw in random roadblocks like this which prevent the software from sprouting wings and flying.

I just ran into this roadblock as well! I was creating a dashboard for my department manager using the fantastic Workload feature. Then as I was adding all the boards, I hit the limit. I had no idea there was a 10 board limit. We have the Pro plan. Please increase to at least 15 to 20. We have another 6 boards we need to add to the dashboard but right now we can’t. This throws our entire plan to use Monday into a stalemate. I upvoted this!

Agreed. I track time in client boards. Each client has multiple boards. Because of the board limitations I can’t effectively track my time in one place. I don’t think 20 is enough honestly but we’ll take what we can get! :nerd_face:

I am in the same situation as @mrjosephrivera, because each board is a project and I have, on average, 100 projects in progress continuously. How do I solve the workload?

Yeah, the workload is really tricky. I would like to add more than 20 boards into the dashboard but it’s completely out of question to pay almost double to upgrade the plan to enterprise.

Does enterprise even get us there? Workload is almost unusable if you have more than 20 boards to manage… who needs Monday.com and doesn’t have more than 20 boards? Ridiculous y’all!

If you have 10, 20, 100 or even more projects I would consolidate these projects to one board and do the workload and other dashboard functions from that board.

That also eliminates reconfiguring your dashboard widgets when new projects are started.

The Rollup Multiple Boards app creates project boards from templates and aggregate all kind of colum to give a full overview of a project per item.

Hi, just wanted to let you know that there is an add-on, available in the Monday Marketplace, that can show workload for an unlimited number of boards. Here’s an example of a Screenful Workload chart:

The chart shows how much work is planned for the future. It takes all the items that have a set due date and shows a summary per day/week/month/quarter of the total planned work. If you have also start dates set, it takes those into account as well. The chart shows how much work is allocated per week for each Assignee. The leftmost bar is the current Week. The bars to the right are in the coming weeks.

This chart can be grouped by any of your columns, including People columns. You can place the chart into Monday dashboard.

You can learn more from this blog post and give it a try with a free trial.

To add on @basdebruin , you should consider using a “high level board” where each item represents a project. Now you have just 1 board with unlimited number of projects on it, you can use the Workload and Dashboards based on that 1 board. For project tasks, you can use subitems. Or you can use a Group for each Project.

If there is a lot going on, you can have 1 project board for each team or department. Then you will have a static number of boards, i.e. 8 teams = 8 boards, regardless of the number of projects going on which will always fluctuate.

Is this app still available? I cannot find it

Which app are you referring to?

The roll up multiple boards app

sure that is in the marketplace :slight_smile: https://monday.com/marketplace/101

Ridiculously expenssive. And not an unlimited number of boards by any means. In fact, you have to pay $499 / month for 120 board connections. :flushed:

If you refer to the Rollup Multiple Boards app: our apps are NOT subscription based, so there is no payment per month at all. It is a one-time fee based on the number of master boards where a master boards connect to unlimited detail boards.
