Overview
Display monday.com boards inside your portal
You can display items from your monday.com boards directly inside your Client Portal. This allows you to show project data, tasks, properties, client records, or any structured information stored in your boards.
Depending on how you want to present the board items, you can choose between three section types:
- Board Table → Structured table layout with optional subitems
- Board Grid → Visual card layout for a high-level overview
- Client Item → Shows data for the currently logged-in client
Connecting boards
How board data is connected
All board-based sections use a board source.
A board source defines:
- how the board is organized
- which board to be used
- which items are shown
Depending on your setup, items can be shown:
- to all clients
- only to specific clients
- or automatically per logged-in client

Board Table
Use Board Table when you want to:
- show structured data in rows and columns

- display subitems under each item
- compare multiple fields at once
The Board Table section is typically used when the data you want to show is stored on a board somewhere in your monday.com workspace.
Board Grid
Use Board Grid when you want to:
- display items visually as cards
- highlight key information
- create a more visual client experience
The Board Grid section is typically used when the data you want to show is stored on a board somewhere in your monday.com workspace.
Client Item
Use Client Item when you want to:
- show client data from the Clients Board
- display profile, account, or contract data
- avoid filtering or board relations
The Client Item section is typically used when the data you want to show is already stored on the client item itself on your Clients Board.
