Item details

Show additional board item details to clients

Enable item details in your monday.com client portal so clients can scan key information and open additional read only columns only when needed.

Overview

What item details do

Item details allow you to keep your board table and grid sections clean without exposing all columns at once. Clients can quickly scan key information and open item details to view additional columns when needed. This makes item details especially useful for:

  • Table and Grid sections with many columns
  • Keeping board sections clean and easy to scan
  • Avoiding excessive scrolling to find information
  • Organizing columns by primary and secondary relevance

Did you know?

With item details enabled, you can control where each column is visible. Show it in the main section, the item details panel, or both. Columns displayed in the detail panel are read-only.
