Let’s be real. Managing multiple boards in monday.com can become a headache. If you have more than 20 boards in monday.com, even the most “organized” of workflows will feel like a mess. That’s where Master Data comes in.
Here’s why we love it:
Say you’ve got all of these boards. We call them source boards. You want a high-level board in monday.com that combines every data into one place. That is a Master Board.
A beginner would manually update the high-level board by copy-pasting data between these boards, or duplicate all the items and move them to the other board. The pro will make use of connect and mirror columns. The master, well, uses Master Data! Why? Because Master Data automatically syncs the data for you with its cross-board sync functionality.
After installing our dedicated automation recipes in the source boards and your Master Board, see the magic happen!
Whenever an item in the source boards is created or updated, the same will be reflected in the Master Board. No need to set up and connect mirror columns. The best part? Data is contained in the same type of columns (not a mirror column) meaning monday.com‘s features such as email mapping will not be affected. This is the magic of Master Data’s cross-board sync functionality!
Automated syncs mean you can focus on your actual work instead of being bogged down of trying to analyze and synthesize data across boards.
Because all of your data is now in the master board, you can create the reports (1) directly in the board as a new view; or (2) create a monday dashboard connected to the Master Board. You can connect as many boards as you want to the Master Board. No more worries about monday.com dashboard limits where you can only connect up to 20 boards (50 for enterprise users).
By setting up a dashboard, you can also share the link of this dashboard to management, making high-level insights easily available!
As an added benefit, your Master Board serves as a back up of data from all of your source boards. Moreover, Master Data tracks whether an item has been deleted or archived in the source board. With this feature, you can rest easy that even if data is unintentionally deleted in the source boards, you can find a back up in the Master Board!
