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: An
item-node
is the representation of corresponding mondayItem
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(s), i.e. the connected item (s) is (are) represented as its child node(s).In the example, the item
Create Banking app MVP - Beta
is connected to the item
Login Methods
via the board connection namedRequires
(along with two other items).Observe that in the tree, the node
Create Banking app MVP - Beta
has the child link-nodeRequires
, which is the name of the corresponding column. The values of this column are shown as its children item nodes. Identify that the nodeLogin Methods
is present here along with the other connected values.
Expansion Toggler: You can control the visibility of a node’s children using the expansion toggler present just before the node.
