• The Root node: The hierarchical view starts at the current item. This is the root node of the tree. We can explore its connected items from here.

  • In the example above, observe how the root node of the tree is represented: it is the top-level item node, identified by sharing its name with the current item on which the view is opened.

• Types of nodes: There are two types of nodes in the tree. Item nodes and Link nodes

  • Item node: Anitem-node is the representation of corresponding monday Item in the tree. You can configure it to show required information fields using the Item Fields dropdown menu. (This functionality is covered in detail in the Customize Item Nodes section)

    In the example, observe that each of the relevant Monday items is represented as an Item node

    .

  • Link node: Link nodes can exist only as children to a given Item node. When a Monday item is connected to other items via a connected board relation, this relation is represented as a child link-node and the relation value, i.e. the connected item is represented as its child node.

• Expansion Toggler: You can control the visibility of a node’s children using the expansion toggler present just before the node.

Let us understand the tree structure better using the example in the image above –

The view is opened on the item: Create Banking app MVP - Beta

• The Root node: In the image above, observe how the root node of the tree is represented: it is the top-level item node, identified by sharing its name with the current item on which the view is opened. i.e. Create Banking app MVP - Beta
