Item details let you keep your board sections clean while still making additional information accessible to clients

This guide explains how to enable item details in your monday.com client portal, so clients can view key information at a glance and access additional details in read-only mode on demand.

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.

  1. Open the Builder tab in your Client Portal Builder board view.
