7pace Timetracker administrators can add monday.com columns to the All Times View, enhancing reports by adding additional descriptors that are already included on monday.com boards. For example, include the following monday.com fields in the All Times View:

  • Planned hours

  • Item type

  • Item status

  • Client

  • Team

  • Department

This feature is currently in beta release, and we welcome customer feedback!

Connect monday.com columns

In this example, our goal is to connect the monday.com Department column to the All Times view. The Department column already exists on the Document the new release > SME interviews board.

Use the following steps to connect the Department column:

Only 7pace Timetracker admins can connect monday.com columns to the All Times view.

  1. Expand 7pace Timetracker in the left-hand pane and select All Times. The All Times view can also be accessed from Workspace apps.

  2. In the upper right-hand corner, click image-20241017-180502.png .

  3. From the Columns Connector tab, click Connect monday columns. Note that the Connect monday columns prompt only displays the first time you connect a monday column. Afterward, the Connect a board column link displays.

  4. Click Connect a board column.

  5. Select the monday board, Document the new release, in this example.

  6. Specify whether you are connecting an Item Column or a Subitem Column.

Note that a maximum of three columns can be connected from both, for a grand total of six connected columns per monday.com board.

  1. Use the drop-down menu to select the desired column, Department, in this example.

  2. Click Connect Column.

  3. The column displays as connected. Note that it will take a few minutes to load the monday.com data and connect the column. While the data loads, a Connecting message displays on the Boards with connected columns page.

     

Add a connected column to All Times

Now that the monday.com column is connected use the following steps to add it to the All Times view:

  1. Click Customize Columns.

  2. Scroll down to Board Columns and select the appropriate connected column, Department, in this example.

  3. The new Department column is displayed on the Times Explorer.


    When you hold the mouse pointer over the connected board, the icon displays which board the column is connected to. In this example, Document the new release.

     

Currently, a column must be connected from each individual board. In a future release, the plan is to connect the column once for all boards. When the same column is connected from multiple boards, it only displays once.

While you must be a 7pace administrator to connect a board column, once it is connected, all users can see its data in the All Times view.

Delete connected columns

Use the following steps to delete a connected column:

  1. In the left-hand pane, click All Times.

  2. Click Customize Columns and the icon next to Board Columns.

  3. Expand the board for the connected column.

  4. Highlight the appropriate column and click the Delete icon.

  5. A Disconnecting note displays and the column is no longer connected. Note that it can take a few minutes to disconnect the column from 7pace Timetracker.
