You can get a more personalized experience of items in the views by using the following handy tools –

The Item Fields Dropdown Menu

For each view, you will find the Item fields dropdown menu present just above it. By toggling the fields within this dropdown, you can add or remove specific information fields on the item card.

  2. Choose the board name of the item whose fields you want to configure. This opens up a submenu showing the list of fields in that board.

  3. Select (or deselect) the checkboxes next to each field to display (or hide) them in the relevant item.

    1. You can use the Select All and the Clear All buttons for bulk selection and deselection respectively.

  4. The changes are reflected in the view immediately, with the item cards updating to show (or hide) the (de)selected fields.

Note: As of the current date, certain field types are not yet supported for display in the item card and are marked as "disabled" in the item fields dropdown menu. However, please be assured that our team is actively working on this. We are making continuous progress to enhance and expand our capabilities, aiming to support a wider range of field types in the near future.

Storage Support

The app's storage support is designed to enhance your experience by remembering your custom settings. Once you configure the Item Fields Dropdown to display certain fields, the app saves these preferences. This means that when you return to the app, your personalized settings are automatically loaded, eliminating the need for repeated configuration. You get a consistent and efficient experience, allowing you to focus on your tasks without the hassle of frequent setup adjustments.

Open Item Card

Each item has an👁️ icon next to it. You can click on the icon to open up monday.com’s Item card to get a more detailed view of the item. Here, you can also proceed to edit its field values if you like.

When you make a change to a field value in the detailed window, you might need to re-open the app for the change to be reflected in the view.
