Page Comparison

Security

• I don’t need to restrict access to BigPicture → all monday members are granted access to BigPicture and its configuration.

• Restrict BigPicture access to specific users → selected monday members and teams are assigned BigPicture admin role. Other app roles can be assigned later.

Box creation

With Boxes, you can group all your boards and the items they contain into portfolios.

• Add boards to the box:

  • shareable boards only

  • from any workspace

• Enter a box name

Field mapping

Field mapping lets BigPicture know where data can be found in your monday board columns, regardless of the column name. You can work with all items in a single BigPicture box, even if your monday boards don't have an identical column setup.

• start/end fields - use timeline or date columns. This information is used to position items on a Gantt chart. By default, the leftmost timeline column of the monday board is used.

  • If you are using a timeline column, enter the same column as both the ‘start’ and ‘end’ datedates.

  • If you are using a date column, use two different columns for the ‘start’ and ‘end’ date.

Advanced field mapping:

• Assignee - use people columns. By default, the leftmost people column of the monday board is used.

• Estimates - use number columns to map the Original estimate, Time spent, and Story points.

It is possible to leave the fields as ‘not synchronized’. You will still be able to use BigPicture, but data will won’t be synchronized with any board columns.

For example, if you don’t synchronized start/end dates, you can still place your items on a Gantt chart, but the timeline data isn’t reflected in monday. Similarly, you can still enter the original estimate, remaining estimate, or story points directly in BigPicture. Capacity and workload will be calculated and the app will function normally.

If you want to calculate ‘remaining capacity’ the ‘time spent’ column must be added to a monday board and mapped. Remaining The remaining capacity is calculated automatically based on the original estimate and time spent; it can’t be calculated if the time spent column doesn’t exist or isn’t mapped.

It is NOT recommended to leave the fields as ‘not synchronized’. In such cases, when you delete a box or remove boards from the box scope, the ‘not synchronized’ data is lost.
