hi everyone and welcome to this new format from omnitus this is going to be a monthly format where me and Thomas are going to discuss and talk what's great what's not so great and what's me with all the new features coming out from monday.com we're going to start this off with all the major changes in monday.com during 2023 let's get into it so let's kick off with January and the biggest first news is that we have a mobile revamp of the whole UI uh which is kind of funny because that's also a new mobile revamp plan for the early parts of next year yeah uh so that's fun but it's really it's a January thing it's it's maybe it's going to be a yearly thing who knows but we'll see we'll see but uh the mobile reamp that we had is quite important because it actually catered to the cell phone UI more uh and had less of the desktop UI carried over and I think they're going to take that a step further as well when we get the the new q1 Q2 updates on up in 24 yeah yeah yeah and I think that's been a big a bit of a theme running into 2023 to take the mobile yet another step further which is also important when we come to especially the CR product that's been launched so definitely I think the CRM product is driven mobile usage a lot yeah I think so I can personally say that on mobile I only write updates I write and read updates I I consume notifications I don't work in Monday on my mobile uh no me neither and for me it's actually the very pure CRM thing so basically I need to find a number to a contact whatever call them which yeah the update so far has really helped with speaking speak of mobile they did a user management settings that is available on mobile I don't know anyone who actually administers their account on mobile but if you do now you can manage users yeah I would recommend you to log in with your laptop or whatever but yes you can and then sending emails from shared accounts on emails and activities yeah this this was actually a rather big thing uh to be able to do that because first it was only your own and you need to be very user specific but now you can have something like info om. or whatever yeah but you can also share an email address so let's say that we so it's not only group or AIS it's actually individual emails that are all able to be um applied to multiple users as well yeah I still think we need to preference this by saying it's still not the group and function emails it's actually it still needs to be a user but the user can be called support at omnitus for example definitely so we still don't have that capability with the group and function email addresses yeah I I don't think there's much more to say about it uh no it's a great feature it's simple but it's great yeah and then uh we have the work do templates so you can now create a work do template so that each time a new work Doc is added uh through through the documentation column it it comes ready made with the predefined fields and everything with the templates you can specify that as well so that's really good yeah that's good and I mean work dos is coming more and more and being built out and more and this is clearly a step in in that direction I think a lot of users have gotten a lot of usage out of it yeah um and then in the end of January we had a great big update about the with the J Integrations we actually got the the new J integration 2.0 or what you want to call it so it's actually a separate one they they are removing the old one uh I think it's still active in some accounts that have it active but you can't create new Integrations with the old one I think uh but the new one is a two-way sync and the big difference is it now uses OA as well on individual instead of full admin access as the old one did which was one of the big issues as well that from a security perspective Monday had to get access to all of your J instance no even if it was only one or two projects or one or two tags that was relevant in J yeah know that's good because we shouldn't let people should have a lot of freedom but certain things we actually need to control because there might be very sensitive data in there it shouldn't be hit up back and forth either way so to speak yeah and the good thing with this one now is it's two-way synced as well yeah well which is of course like the golden standard where it should be uh and then we have uh our filter notifications where we can filter but um on a personal level basically so uh you can out sort your bell notification a little bit better it's a comfortable of life kind of feature uh for for me at least I think I think it's like okay I I want to filter on notifications from my boss or I know that I had some ping from this person and I can't find it otherwise I don't really see when you would need it no I haven't no to BU have like a standard filter I'm only hitting up when my boss is actually pinging me so I know I need to get a hustle on don't use it for that guys then we also have the custom rol for account permissions so uh which came out in February the first it durations of it came out in should we say now when we can be uh in hindsight look back to it this was actually really good when we could actually start creating our own kind of how is the member Ro specified and all of that so um we we could go much more into the nitty-gritty with it um and also set up our own roles as needed there's still some limitations around it but it's about like mostly who can create boards who can copy who can delete and so on ad members it allows you to create like workspace admins uh but I also know that something that is coming on this subject is actually the ability to delegate admin permissions completely as well down the line um but this this has worked really well to create like workspace admins super users Within group of users uh so really good yeah so if you haven't used it medal with the guys um and then uh we had uh the instant copy item column to sub items so that's that's good when you need to have the same column in main item and sub item you can now on the main item just select the column say copy to sub item it copies the column not the data uh and it doesn't keep any data synced it just gives you the column on sub item yeah and that is actually I don't know how many of you know this guys but actually the sub items is actually a separate board from an architectural standpoint so it's just the only way for you to actually look upon it is through that board but it from an architectual standpoint it's actually its own separate board and that's why you don't have the sync without using the rollup functionality but I think that what we have is um so we know that we have crossboard automations coming in the in the PIP line so there should be some new cool stuff around sub item and Main item as well considering what you said sub item is actually a separate hidden Bo exactly and if it doesn't come it should be very easy for Monday to just okay let's make it that way as well so and then we have the dock your widgets for a single mode View and this is actually I actually missed this one guys but it's the docking feature that came out in February I I can't believe how you missed it but okay so let let me show you yeah so we have a clean board here normally when you do something let's say the Gant chart or whatever I just create the Gant view it creates my board view automatically I have this little widget because I could then um add additional widgets to it of course but in the little widget settings I have a nice little new feature called dock this widget and it goes full screen very nice and it's kind of back to the old kind of thinking so to since we're in a dashboard kind of view right now basically but like the old timeline view or whatever which was made full view so basically getting that back yeah and it works specifically well for the workload widget of course workload and Gant and timeline maybe also the calendar but obviously having a do charge view or a do battery makes a little sense I don't know what that will give you but yeah less than a very big growth um and then we all also have the ability to edit custom automations which was a big big thing that came out or at least according to me because I build a lot of automations and having to always remake them all the time was Bloody annoying oh did you remake them no no no you duplicate that's basically what you had to do you duplicate and then we change and then remember to delete the old one uh but since February we could actually just edit them and that that was that was a big thing it was really good like one of those small it do have some limitations but just to be aware so I have one trigger I have five actions and I want to change the trigger then I also delete my actions yeah true yeah uh but I can change the five actions independently so it's at least an upgrade definitely yeah but say for example a classic one a star changes and by that I want to create five new sub items now I can at least go in just make the changes and be done with it five that's not a lot we have like 30 40 I know I know recip and um that's a burden in the old way but now it's it's fairly easy to do um and then uh the improved dashboard creation flow it's it's a lot of infrastructure behind the scenes but uh the whole widget of how that brings you through the dashboard creation it just creates the dashboard you add the board you add your widgets the way the data loads so it's more on the back end things I don't think we need to spend too much time on this no no no no no um uh while talking about that so now on March we're in coming to March and U performance Improvement for scrolling was a huge thing in March yeah and it was actually a significant Improvement uh especially for those uh boards where you had a lot of data in it so it removed the there there something times freezing or the where you could start scrolling and the whole board went blank and then it started filling um in segment so that was really nice the ability to hide the filing do column yeah that's true it's it's a small thing but it was nice because it wasn't I think every column should be should have the same settings right yeah exactly and this was basically bringing them up to spec we don't need to talk about that much more so this is uh not primarily for our Market the but we had uh work froms right to left uh language support uh and some countries right from right to left most right from left to right so they they supported that in March and we also had a new permission type uh in the admin session in the uh workspace session and also the custom roles was create doc on item oh yeah yeah yeah uh I haven't actually used it much but uh I think the the use cases are rather slim but if you need that permission it is very critical it's like vital when you need it but it's not every day you're going to need it but yeah true true um and yeah right and one of the last things for March was also the uh no action mode for dependency so basically just it basically gives you the error to show the the relationship but it doesn't move anything exactly make the painting in the gun chart so it looks nice and you can kind of follow it but don't do anything with it and and I think this is this is could it be its own webinar right on how you manage project and so on but the fact that automatically pushing dates and moving stuff in a plan just because dependencies is not always the best practice a lot of the time you want the system to give you the proper Flags to allow the managers and the project leaders to actually be project leaders and managers yeah exactly it's the the typical thing yeah now this moves and then everything else needs move no that means we need to Crunch it guys because we actually have a hard deadline over here yeah um and that needs a man managerial decision or team decision however we operate basically uh that actually moves us into April what's what's what what's new in April so I think April was also where they started a lot on the Enterprise level features if I'm not mistaken so one of the first things we actually have was the cust default notifications for new users uh so account admins can now customize the default email notification settings that are in place for each new user added to an account yeah which is really something to remember back in 2019 already people asked us for this can we customize the invite email basically that's yeah and back then it was needed so but yeah it's a it's a one of those things that people have been asking for for a long time and then it finally came this year which is of course it's great in April April yeah R in April awesome uh we also got the sales team leaderboard uh wiet for dashboards um actually rather fun it's still in beta could be good to know uh and to remember but you could visualize sales leaderboards in a better or more fun kind of way um have a play with it guys um I guess it's good because it it what we have in several widgets in One widget yeah yeah basically brings it in together uh and shows conversion rates between stages as well I believe yeah exactly and it can summarize your columns in a in a nice fashion and actually create that sortable leaderboard uh just remember guys if you want to try it it's in dashboard it's not dashboard views but dashboard so that's where you can find it so board views dashboards exactly uh that's also actually a rename I don't know if it's on the list but they removed the board dashboard it's not called board view yeah yeah yeah correct correct correct um yeah so um one of those quality of life from a gdpr pii perspective we can remove fields from the user profile that we don't want them to use yeah uh something we do in the admin section yeah um nice easy get it clean y uh and also the exporting of Gan charts yes that was a big thing I remember back in the day when you had to basically make a screenshot and uh basically cut it out but now you can get it as a nice PDF instead which is literally a screenshot which is literally a screenshot but uh if you're not all to technical Savvy or if you're on a if you're on a PC uh you don't need to basically find your snipper tool or whatever but beyond PDF you can also export to excel I have no idea why you want to uh export an interactable Gant to Excel and make the smart data stupid again but now you can yeah now you can so maybe you need to give it to someone really stupid don't want them to touch it too much um again on the Privacy part uh we have improved emails and activity privacy settings in the middle of April uh so we now have like individual sharing we can have a list of all connected emails in the account with which ones are sharable or not and so on yeah it was a big thing and I think it's have been a bit of a theme during the year that when have been upping both uh privacy and Security even more from from a very good standard to an even higher one uh and also some yeah those nice to have features that makes your life a bit more easy especially as an admin also okay so one of the final things that happened in in uh April was the M Dev came out of beta yay big yay let's move on but seriously the the Monday Dev product it's a really good product uh it actually solves a lot of issues that we have in Asia devops and J um but I mean there been continuous development after April so uh we're probably going to talk about it more uh yeah I think it's going to be a record uh thing coming coming up so I I don't know what was the thing of now it's beta now it's not it's yeah ever evolving um so yeah and then we had the dedicated work from automation recipes so now in the automations and the recipes we have dedicated ones that work with the work form yeah so when a form is submitted and so on yeah yeah and it actually works really well we are using them internally yeah this is more important important than you think because when you have a board that can both accept items from a work form and create it directly in the board a lot of the time when item is created is not enough because you probably want to distinguish between uh the two uh sources yeah definitely and before this you always had to be very tricky with like this form needed to create something in a specific group and that was the so when item is created in this group and now you can just do it much simpler so it's easier uh this is the main thing with it uh and uh then we have some more J integration this is more your area than mine so oh really oh definitely well um you know how ask me about any you know how we have action condition and triggers in most stuff right action when this happens condition is if and when and so on definitely yeah so all they did was they added additional conditions more robust conditions through to the jir integration so basically had better control of which items were actually created and so on and then there was like a an update around team content so where you could oversee boards dashboard docs and workspaces which your team is subscribed to by using the new content uh tab uh which is located in the admin section and the teams main page it's actually a really cool feature as well just to see all the content yeah and this goes back yet get to that theme of making life easier for admins and throughout the system really yeah and also I think it's was a Prelude to something that's already been released but we haven't gotten to it yet and that's the fact that teams can now be owners of [ __ ] exactly exactly we'll get to that in a bit guys and then we have the restore multiple items at once so we when we're in the trash bin basically we can bring back multiple things and not having to go click click click we can actually multi select and batch action it uh it works for the archive as well yeah exactly then we have the Also may feature so a lot of things happen at the beginning of May yeah um we also have the Haun search option uh so we can actually tell the system in which fields or which columns basically to to to search so what we're talking about is not the filters we're talking about the search box the one where you actually Ty that one can now be specified to only look in certain columns and not all columns yeah exactly so say for example you're doing a you're doing CRM and maybe you only want to not search in all the colums but just the company name version since company names can also often include person first person names or surnames and stuff like that it might be nice to filter away if you have any kind of columns like that so you don't find someone's email address instead um and then we in may we had some uh good updates around we actually had a AI Assistant release which is one of your uh big uh big things with AI and [ __ ] Yeah so basically 2023 it's the AI year uh or at least that's the year where AI really took off and of course Monday wasn't late to to join the train basically and may was the first release of the AI assistant we had uh we had a few features at at launch right we had had the ability to have ai generated emails um so we I think we had emails and then the formula help also came from the start I believe uh and yeah so the formula help is that you can ask the AI assistant to to write a formula for you say I want a formula that multiplies this divided by X and then you don't have to understand how to build a formula yourself uh exactly and it can give you a correct if formula if that's what you need and stuff like that so um then you had a text summary right right yes uh I think that's also one of out of the box because the AI is also one of them I mean it's a AI year so it's one of those that have had several updates along the along the lines but yes I do believe that that was out of the box as well I don't know if it was in this release but we also do have the ability to ask the AI assistant to create a project for us we can say hey I I need a project to create a a new bridge over the for example and it can create that whole project plan for you oh it can do that yeah I'm not sure if it was part of the first release or I mean we're still back in May so it's difficult to keep track I I don't think but I think it could create items from the start for you you it was even spe specified as a gradual release so this is something that Monday is building and building and building on and uh there's some really interesting stuff we will dive into in a few minutes uh about what happened to it then um Monday made it easier to report automation issues um previously before this update you had to write a custom email to support explaining exactly what went wrong now on the automation activity screen you can see all the triggered automations you can see if they failed or not and if they failed there's actually the ability to press a button and an automatically being it get sent to the MonDay team for investigation yeah it's one of those seems so simple right but then yeah it can be a life changer for some people uh and then we had the towards the end of May we have the uh feature to easily locate your notifications uh you can out search through through your notifications with free text instead and uh that's actually a huge help especially I know both you and me we have a ton of notifications and now you can actually search for them so that's um that's actually a really really good thing then there were some apps coming out as well so dashboard Hub yeah that's appfire I believe yeah so appfire is a it's a really big app developer I think they were really predominant in the JRA space as well and they partner with Monday um so which is one of the reason why Monday also includes some of their apps in the what's new uh normally they don't include third party apps in these update uh but um app fire is a bit special yeah they're a bit special but yeah um I believe it's a paid up check it out I think it might be good I haven't used it myself then yeah the mass email or mail merch as someone would call it uh feature that came out so now if you're running Monday ass your CRM you have the CRM product you can basically go in select a fair few number of contacts and then slam an email uh and of course with from a template so with Dynamic fields and all of that um so great great uh functionality that we were waiting for basically really a cool part of of most CRM today I I I think so of course uh can send like what is it 200 or something something like that in one going up to 2,000 a day I believe uh but then again this is running through your mail service people so be be careful about be be careful so you don't get spam flagged um Because the Internet is RA finicky and uh down to the points so even if you can maybe you shouldn't and I think believe there's more uh email and mass emailing updates later on yeah I believe um so let's let's move on yes uh something that's good in the app Marketplace so if you haven't gone to the app Marketplace yet please do so there's a ton of apps that closes a bunch of gaps in the platform you can find app that does basically anything and everything um it's been a real it's been a journey uh Monday is doing a big job of of like um creating Authority around the app Marketplace security wise and so on yeah and one of the first steps was in may they actually included the rating so users can rate the app So based on that um based on the rating people can choose to install or not then by the end of May we also have the color customization for the workload widget which I know have been a request from from many people to be able to handle that in a better way um so it's it's if you use it on a board view you can I would recommend like using the status column for coloring so then you can also start seeing when you want to move things around what the status is of that job yeah so you can actually maybe not move stuff that's already done because that usually is not a good idea uh that would kind of defeat the purpose I believe yeah but if you do a dashboard workload with it I would probably argue that coloring based on board would make more sense so you can actually see which it items or toss belongs to which project that a glance yeah like if is it Project based or is it a business as you should kind of can can help out in your prioritization as well yeah so you can actually be a bit smart with it uh and now we're actually back to the mobile because now we're moving into June uh and then we had more of that CRM driving the mobile development and that was a big thing so the item page of the CRM got updated there um so the item page is basically the item card yeah exactly so basically an item card but in the mo mobile basically setting so so it got a facelift and it was a good thing cool uh nothing more about it uh and then we also got the one by one format in the work forms so basically helps out with surveys and and and stuff like that so basically just like many other uh forms software works so it feeds you one question or or one one prompt at a time um especially good for for surveys and and that kind of thing and not just getting a very long list of of uh we can probably do a whole webinar on when should you use which but definitely let's skip that for now let's skip that it it was a good addition uh yeah and then we had another appfire app yeah we had a mandatory Fields uh released in June um we all want to work with mandatory Fields so far only the work form has allowed mandatory fields we have some workarounds that we do with make for mandatory field checking uh but um with Monday's mandatory Fields app you can ensure that essential data isn't missed this app requires specific columns to be filled out before uh progressing or go changing a status um and enhancing data input accordingly across multiple boards yes so it's it brings you part of the way uh definitely with the mandatory field check out the app if you if you're curious about it uh third party paid app so we're not going to spend more time on it than that exactly yeah you check it out on your own um and then we had the division or divide options in the can ban coming out also during the summer uh so basically we can now specify more and we can get basically several groups in our Canan we can kind of that up so we were able to divide what what you would call a swim Lane by the groups earlier but now you can actually specify what to create those divide by so you can accept the group status column connect to board columns at least uh maybe by now even drop downs but not when it was released in June uh exactly uh I'm I'm I'm hoping for for people to come along that will be nice as well uh at some point that would be like really good uh and then more mobile updates I believe as well and this time it was the iOS that got the my work experience revamp so remember this gu the iOS and the Android app is not actually the same app so because it's too B developed it separately from scratch independently of each other it's two different teams doing it as well because the infrastructure is so different yeah I don't know about the Android app because it don't we only obviously use iPhones here but we do have the nice little Focus VI mode on the mobile where we actually can bring in our calendar together with our items which is really really cool unfortunately that's not available on desktop but that's one of the core reasons I would say to use actually to use the mobile app because since you have everything on the same device yeah it can allow sharing of data because it's a it's a locked infrastructure ecosystem yeah then we have some more apps for uh project management basically and I think this one is I think it's from adaptiv group so it's um it's um what's it called it it's a priority bbard you know like the high high low priority urgent four squares Yeah Yeah by which we also are working on one y it's going to be nice and then we had the fullon release of the new Monday UI dur summer in July yeah yeah that was a big thing uh bit scary in the beginning everything was moved around I don't like that when stuff is not where I'm used to having it no uh definitely but yeah I I think in the end it turned out really nice uh kind of cleaned a few things up what do we have more from summer time uh so we have the instantly understand the last uh lead activity so as part of the emails and activities you can now use an integration recipe to automatically update a date column uh every time uh an activity or email was captured that's quite nice so they it's it's like the last update column that is a default one but you're using an integration with a normal date column which is good because then you can also use it as a trigger three days after last activity I want a notification or something like that anything that we want to keep the workflow going we're talking about sales you know if you don't talk to your leads you're not going to close any deals oh is that how it works yeah awesome um oh yeah and then we actually got one more work form uh update as well and that was we can now actually use PE the people column right in there uh yeah and with that update we also got a new privacy setting on the on the work form so if you want to include the people column and also eventually the connected board column uh is that we uh we need to enable the form to be internal only so you actually need to be logged into Monday and your browser need to have an active cookie in order for you to see the format um so that's the downside so if you're still planning to have external people filling it out you can't use the person Callum you need to have a text column or an email column or something yeah exactly but it might be very good for like internal HR reasons stuff like that uh or uh just I I can think of uh as an old HR person we we do if you work with like 360 evaluation yeah so you can submit evaluations for anyone then you just select that person that you want to evaluate it could be your boss it could be a peer it could be anything uh it can also be like un approval work for form like who's your manager there's plenty of good use cases for it um just know that it's it makes the form internal only yeah definitely and then uh one big thing uh was actually the transfer of automations before uh deactivation so you actually get prompted so if you are trying to deactivate a user now the system will actually so where am I pushing all the automations owned by this person because before that if you didn't remember to do it they basically broke so you always had the ability to push automation from one user to another but now it's built into with with the deactivation of yeah yeah and uh then also in uh toward the end of July we had the the automation recipes basically to automatically connect sub items uh just like we can do with normal item between boards right yeah and this is obviously also part of a bigger one that you could actually connect items to sub items manually as well so uh but it also got part of the automation which is huge yeah uh when you need it you really need it most people will probably not need it but it's very crucial when it's needed yeah but I I I do remember because this was things I had to do with make for customers before lot yeah and also in July apparently something that we said earlier um so the ability to build formulas through the AI assistant did not release until July yeah true bad us uh but you know how it is it'll get jumbled and as we said the whole AI thing has been very gradual throughout uh and is still going on to this day and will still be going on when we sit here 2 years from now true um but that basically moves us into August right yeah um what happened in August then so the first thing we had was the new updates feed yeah true true true so we could oversee all our updates using the updates feed uh improve navigation robust customization options clear all updates and more uh managing your work uh in basically the inbox so it's the old inbox that became the update for you yeah but it was improved and um definitely so a lot smoother yeah yeah yeah I know a lot of people don't use it but actually it can be very powerful if you actually if you actually leverage it uh especially when you're hopping between items and boards and stuff like that so you actually get everything in one place uh and then we had the canar navigational uh improvements coming out in August as well and this is very much part of the dev uh product um but also adding the battery view on the top of the cam VI as an option now yeah yeah yeah so um there was a fair few good things um and also there's a there's a big work going on behind the scenes on The camam View still so this was just a partial update they want to rebuild the whole card to make sure that you can add a lot more information without taking so much like the card grows very much yeah and it grows rapidly every item or every data point you add becomes a new line break and and builds uh vertical so they're going to give you a lot more freedom around where to place things yeah so maybe you just have the person Circle somewhere which you can have next to another data field and another data field uh so you can have two three four things horizontally instead of everything being added vertically yeah cups on that one it was really really cool actually so keep a lookout for that one um and then yeah what do we have more we uh yeah we have some communication stuff here basically so updating to the all Theo we can use uh basically taking a ceue from social media uh more or less so we can have our hearts and our likes and our uploads and yeah let's go move on yeah I actually didn't remember this one because in my head it's all always been there it's one of those things but the and it only existed since August appar yeah exactly so you then you see how fast my head moves into it's always been there but yeah so but actually to be able to personalize your work dos basically have a top Banner for it where you can uh either upload your own picture or choose one from ons spash basically um give it some color some form uh actually really good for in when you use uh work dos a bit like we do in certain spaces where it's a kind of an internal kind of uh and then it's nice it's not just a text document it's actually a web page more or less um you can actually use that also because if at least if you're an Enterprise customer you can actually share the links to the docs right yeah also I mean um a lot of uh people use the work docs for for reporting purposes internal and external uh so the whole idea of adding a cover photo could all of a sudden become your page headers and stuff like that uh so can make it look more professional yeah next one we can now have a team as board and dock owners and there probably should be one uh eventually that you can set uh teams as dashboard owners as well uh but in August we were able to set teams as board and dock owners which was huge yeah because that takes away the individual it creates an Enterprise level way of using the system right yeah uh and also all of that Nitty Gritty man agement when always having to go in on an individual level instead just okay we have a new hire new colleague lovely Adam to the team they have the right permissions from from scratch uh and then we have the uh work for's analytics page uh so uh if you need it you need it otherwise you probably wouldn't have asked for it no but definitely I mean work forms is kind of individually uh developed as well uh alongside Monday um so and this is basically to bringing it up to scratch with systems like type form Etc so that's basically it giving us some analytics to who's answering our forms and then we have end of August we have a huge update around the mass emailing right yeah this was big big one yeah so we have the HTML email editor for the emails and activities and that's for the ad hoc emails yeah not for the for the automation still not available so you can't trigger based on an automation an HTML email but you can ad hoc send an HTML email yeah basically bring your form into Monday so uh have that salesy marketing uh looking kind of email if if that's what you want and need basically and of course anything between a plain text and that of course works fine so uh you can really do whatever you want with it but as we said it doesn't work for those first integration recipes we had from from so long ago it works within emails and activities yeah and we can we can say something about that so one would say okay so why don't we update all the old ones well the reason is because automations are being revamped right now so we want to Monday want to put their development effort where it actually makes an impact so they don't want to put development effort into Old automations that are not going to be relevant with work flows being released anyways exactly so workflows is going to be sort of like your traditional visual programming boxes arrows wait passes and stuff yeah basically a workflow shart basically happening on the screen and that's and in that context imagine the fact that we then also have HTML emails meaning that we have mailer light MailChimp built into Monday basically without extra cost yep another one of the big Enterprise features where we want to standardize things is sometimes we want to standardize workspaces as well uh and end of August we got the ability to template a workspace so you can then take a workspace you can create it as a template and when you install that template it creates all of the internal boards all the internal dashboards and the good thing with doing that it keeps the uh relationship between everything so if you have high level board lowlevel board connect to boards everything that's in the dashboard it all gets keeps the connections yeah yeah and I mean you and me we see so many companies operating this one and we can say some many companies do need it yeah some workspaces is just the equivalent of basically someone open a door toss in a grenade and left uh so I think it's good to be able to provide those SC Rays uh then the date column A revamp basically so it's the menu basically of the of how you Pi the yeah how you picked the date basically uh so the time moved up as in the top and not like that extra thing down below uh it took a while for me to get used to it me too now I like it much more but in the beginning I I I think I was an orthodox in the beginning I was like why was this necessary I was I was the same yeah but now I'm like yeah this is actually much better uh this was a good change yeah it was a good change but it's it's a UI change uh let's stick to that it's a good thing it happened um priority columns on my work um yeah I know that's something that's been asked for a lot uh if you ask omnitus official our official stance is that priority columns are really not you needed yeah if you have set up your work correctly with correct deadlines with correct workflows priori is already built in already in the workflow some other way and not a separate data point yeah and also what I tend to see uh most of the time it's like everything is all of a sudden critical or high and then it's like yeah great which means basically none is so it allows you to bring in a second status column in the work yeah and that's basically how we should perceive it yeah then we're actually in um we're actually into September already now yeah so we're moving ahead here now and this was actually one of the things that I really wanted to see and this is the lock view permission setting so we can basically lock view so no one goes in and follows with your with a view you set up in a board uh this is something that's been happening to me because in a few of our boards I of course have some specific so I was apparently wrong as well yeah so the AI assistant with writing emails apparently didn't release until September so you apparently your head works even more than mine in that way well I haven't paid a lot of attention to the AI stuff no and to be fair uh I'm actually very much when it comes to AI I'm also integrating with AI uh externally so open Ai and stuff like that that so that's that's kind of my coppery uh but something that very much is your coery is the Work loading so we had some updates in September there as well right yeah so they created the work schedules to to work with the workload widget uh it's it should be seen as a Prelude to what's to come and that's uh uh and that's to create like a global availability for every workload widget yeah so what money wants to get to a point where your vacation blocks you public holidays blocks and so on and it allows for smarter uh workload Work Management right yeah um this one the first one that they released in September should be seen as a as a as a stepping stone it's not perfect it actually introduced a few issues in the way we were able to work before that we can't anymore um so there's there's been some head scratching around how to leverage the feature if I'm being honest but it's it's in the right direction and we're going to get let's call it an alpha so far but we need to get we we have a Direction Where We need to go and Monday is very keen on getting there and they know how to get there and this was the first released a as that sequence basically so basically we've started on the journey yes yeah and then we also in September actually got the AI in the work docs yeah so the text summary thingy uh text summary thing but also to compose text I believe so you can actually prompt it kind of like many people tend to do with chat GPT or Bard or stuff like that I think we can do some of it uh uh have a fair amount of capability I believe uh even if I would be I wouldn't compare it to the biggest uh just yet then um we had some dependency right yeah so uh in September we had a release of the advanced dependencies y so it used to be when we had dependency we had the uh Flex or the strict or no action dependency right correct flexed meant that if I push something it didn't affect the rest of the plan until it started to uh overlap yeah strict it maintained the relationship between all the items obviously this is a very simplified way of doing dependencies it's been very traditionally done with the dependency being specified as finish to start so when this finish Des need to to start or finish to finish so these two things need to finish at the same time start to start they need to start at the same time and so on so all combinations of those two two arguments basically um start to finish finish to start start to start finish to finish um they released that and they also added the lag feature so lag means that if I have a dependency finish to start for example but I also have two days where the machine needs to reset or something like that yeah I don't know approval workflow the paint needs to dry or whatever yeah I can then put in lag saying two days so no matter how I push it there's always going to be a gap of two days between those two items yeah okay uh this is still in gradual release uh it's been released to the majority of the pro accounts while doing so they found some issues around the lag part specifically so they've been holding off on releasing it to all of the Enterprise accounts uh but it is still U an ongoing roll out so if you have it it could be that you just have the the first part yeah which start to finish finish to start finish to finish start to start without the lag um but also it's very important that you actually update your dependencies because with this from this date they also removed one of the automations that is dependency based oh yeah that's true they did remove when uh when this CH date change changed the date of its dependency uh so that automation was removed on September 24th have you changed all of ours no we don't have that many to be honest I know then we also because ending up September more or less I believe was the analyze uh mass email performance and of course if we do want to send mass emails we do want to analyze it and it's the normal things you get in like M reply blah blah blah deliverability correct so how many of them actually pushed through how many was open so on so forth so basically your marketing Department's going to like it uh that's it and then we're into October so only a month away wow yeah uh so early October we have improved accessibility for permission management so the whole uh interface got uh revamped a little and it was in accordance with the w3c uh accessibility standards so now they offer seamless keyboard navigation and and and some stuff around that so it doesn't really affect the majority of the people but accessibility features is important there is uh very good standards online um and Monday slowly building towards it but it is some of those guidelines are tricky because they also restrict your UI yeah and I also believe actually a fair few number of countries and maybe the European Union as a whole I've actually started to codify uh or codify uh the usage of those accessibility standards so it's a good thing Monday is moving up to that uh then we also had the filters in the apps Marketplace yeah any that makes it easier to find the right app right exactly it's like yeah it's why wasn't there from the start but yeah sure now it is and that's a good thing yeah and then we had the um automation action so basically things popping up in the bottom of the screen every now and again right yeah so so the way we've been notified yes um it it shows more the dynamic data and the the thingies yes everything was dumb text right in the notification before now it creates the dynamic data so marketing plan for example in this case is a board and you can clear see that it's a board and so on and so forth right yeah uh so just just to make things easier to understand and follow and now we got that thing that we discussed as well uh in October we can now set a team as dashboard owners as well so with this I think the we have all the team ownership levels that we can yeah we have items we have boards we have dashboards and we have docks and that should basically cover all of it and guys sub items is a type of item so it's covered yeah yeah and with the work forms we now have in October we have a really cool update where we can set response limits so let's say that we want to have H sign ups for an event yeah we have 50 seats we can now specify 50 and after that no more form submissions can be submitted which is great then we can just go sorry we're closed for business yeah so you again not like a huge thing but something that can really help you and instead of your marketing team having to sit there and no 50 take it down take it down right or or having to like you request a ticket and then you have to be given a ticket instead now you can get automatically assigned a ticket and so on so it makes life easier yeah definitely and then a feature I've actually used quite a bit was the post notifications on your uh on your mobile app okay um and basically you can temporarily pause push notific ation uh coming from it one of those nice little features uh and it works just wonderful right and then yeah true uh this actually came out just the other week more or less because we're basically towards the end of October uh so now you can actually create new contacts in your contact board when running the Monday CRM uh from a form which also means you can actually have required Fields when you do it so instead of the normal manual let's type every column in you can actually click create and you get the form so basically like you would in many other uh serum systems so basically it's okay so we're talking about when I'm in Monday I'm on the contact board I say add a new contact that's when it gives me the form because I could always I've always been able to set up an external form yeah exactly but without having that external form without having to change the view you can basically go that and it just gives you it in a vertical uh way instead of of horizontal way uh and that but still it's still a form in the background so you can also do required fields and stuff yeah yeah uh and then uh on the form again now we can also create a welcome scream so we could be like hey this form is about X Y and Z do you want to participate yes and so on or whatever information you want the the person to have before submitting the yeah yet again maybe something that's very good for a survey kind of thing uh of course there's the your data will be used in this way what your replies and your information will be used to gather blah blah blah and conduct yeah yeah uh then we had some new admin capabilities for Integrations as well uh and that is basically we can now uh move them to another user right yeah so basically kind of what we had with the automations kind of but the difference between the automations and integration is that when I move it they get DEA activated and the user can the new user can activate them based on their credentials but when they do the integration stays the same so they don't need to set up the scenario the variables the conditions or anything like that they just need to recredit uh reauthenticate yeah and uh of of course that's basically how it needs to work because with an integration you're using a other system and their keys so you need to redo that part but but from a Monday standpoint it stays the same so uh with that we're back to November so we're back into prent again yay and uh with that said guys uh this is all for this time uh don't forget to subscribe and we'll be back in about a month's time uh and take it from where we left off now and this uh you're going to see us every month here talking through the latest and greatest of what's happening in monday.com so from me and Thomas have a good one thank you
