What’s new on monday.com? Feature update in October 2024

Group by

Dynamic re-grouping items made easy

One of the most requested features has landed: group by. Now you can regroup items on any board instantly by columns like priority or due date. Want to see high-priority tasks first? Or sort by what’s due this week? Just group by that column. You can even save these groupings as board views so your team can reuse them.

AI updates

Smarter data extraction from files with monday AI

With monday AI’s enhancements, you can now extract content from files (like PDFs) in a file column and use that as input for other columns. Just set your parameters, point it to the file column, and let AI fill in the data for you. This saves manual copy-and-paste and lets your boards become more data smart.

Favorites revamp

Faster access with favorites

The Favorites section got its own dedicated spot in the left pane. That means your most used boards or views no longer have to compete with the rest of your navigation, favorites are now easily accessible at the top. This helps especially when you switch between many boards in a busy workspace.

Deeper subitem automation

Subitems support in monday workflows

For Enterprise users, workflows now support subitems. You can now create, manage, and automate subitems within workflows, workflow logic can traverse into the child item level. This bridges complexity for teams that rely heavily on hierarchical task structures.

Settings update

Finer control over notifications

Notification settings received a refresh. You now get more control over what notifications you receive and where, either within the monday app, via email, or even through Slack. Plus, the UX/UI for notifications has been polished to make it easier to manage your alerts.

Practical tips

How to use these monday.com updates

Here are a few suggestions to make the most of these new tools in your workspace:

1. Use group by for dynamic perspectives. Try grouping by different columns depending on context, e.g. by due dates during sprint reviews, or by priority during planning.
2. Extract data automatically from uploaded files. Let AI pull structured data from documents stored in file columns, reducing manual entry and errors.
3. Pin your go-to boards in Favorites. With favorites moved to their own pane section, set your team’s core boards there for fast access.
4. Leverage subitem logic in workflows. For tasks with subtasks, build workflows that traverse children so automation doesn’t stop at the parent level.
5. Tweak notification filters. Use the refined settings to receive only the right alerts, especially for high traffic boards or critical tasks.

October 2024 marks a strong step forward for monday.com. Features like group by, AI extraction from files, subitem automation, and refined notification management tighten the workflow loop between your data, logic, and visibility. Add in the favorites revamp, and what you get is a more intuitive, powerful, and controllable workspace.
