Bbg Week 9 Monday

[Heinz Francis]

Iwould like to be able to reset a status column in a particular group say on the first of every month or every monday, etc. So if we have Monthly/Weekly tasks on an SOP board, they can reset automatically from Done to Blank.

Would the combination of archiving done tasks and using the automation to create new tasks on a recurring basis work for you? I think it achieves the same thing. Or are you not wanting to lose the updates section when you create new pulses?

I had a very similar discussion with Monday support via email a couple of weeks ago. I was hoping we could set recurring tasks much like recurring tasks in Outlook: set once, set to repeat weekly/monthly. Every week/month, that same task then appears on the board with a reset status and updated due date.

Looks like @JCorrell solution will do the job (but only when the date arrives). There is also an app (Date Controlled Groups) that does run on a defined schedule and moves all your items depending on how far the date is from the point the scheduler rus (e.g. 2 days, 3 weeks etc). It also support negative values so that you can keep the items due last week in the last week group and older items in an archive group. The app can be found here:

So, my question is if we could find a better way to calculate monday to monday to properly use the normal options on Quicksight, or even if there could be a Quicksight option to turn start of the week to monday (that would be a livesaver, I have all my window and periodical calculations duplicated for my custom week field and doing so I could just use the normal fields and options).

This is an example of the current biggest fight I have with quicksight at the moment. Other things are not priority to the client or not big enough, but I might put a couple more suggestions that might interest other users too.

Automations are great. However, there are some types of automations that are currently not possible, though they could be extremely helpful to my team were they to be implemented. These would be based on days of the week, rather than specific dates. Say, for example, that we have a recurring task that comes up every 2nd Friday of the month. It would be great to have a recurring automation for this, though it is currently not possible, and a member of our team must remember to keep resetting or making this item.

Another automation with a similar idea which is also not possible with the current system would be something like this: A recurring task that is created every week on Monday morning, with a deadline of that Friday. Currently, it is possible to have automate a task being created every Monday, but it is not possible to automate the deadline to always be set to the upcoming Friday. One has to go in to do this manually, and we already know on our team that we will forget to set this manually at some point and then the task will fall off of our radar for the week.

With regards to the 2nd automation, I do believe you could use a combination whereby you create the items with the recurring task automation on Mondays and then use this automation to set the due date as creation date plus 4 days i.e. Friday:

@Krishele I use Monday for email marketing and have a similar time frame that you are talking about. If you can find my post for using monday.com for email marketing you can see how I set up my board based on this need. Hopefully, that will help you out!

Thank you for pointing out that automation, as I had not noticed that one before. However, this looks like it would apply to ALL new items created, which is not what I need. I only have 1 or 2 items that would work this way, and the majority of them require custom due dates.

I would like to have option to change my week functionality to view people instead of dates. So basically without date filters at the top, and instead of Previous Weeks, Earlier this week etc, see John Doe, Jane Doe etc tabs, and their not-done tasks (sorted by status or date).

If you could view this and allow filtering on just those columns, this would become incredibly powerful. Then you could apply the board filtering to this board, to search within the task list, filter by date, assignee, status, etc.

I agree with the gist of this thread (and many others with My Week requests / concerns). My Week needs some significant improvements in functionality. This should be one of the most powerful, customizable, and easy-to-use tools of the app. Like Asana and other apps, Monday needs a simple and comprehensive one-stop place for users to view and interact with all of the tasks they are assigned to, and with easy configuration options to see assigned tasks the way the user wants to see them. This should have the same customization capabilities as the dashboard table widget (for boards, groups, filters, etc.), but with a predefined structure and focus on the tasks the user is assigned to.

Hi everyone. I need a solution for how to customize my work week. for example, my project schedule work days start from Saturday to Thursday(am in the Gulf region). Friday is considered a weekend. how do I fix this so that my timelines are not taken off track?

You can customise the weekend settings via the Admin panel.

You can find this by going to the profile picture / initials in the bottom left hand corner of the platform and then selecting Admin from the menu that appears.

Unfortunately this is currently set on the logic of a two day weekend, meaning that you can pick between a Monday-Friday work week or a Sunday - Thursday work week.

Selecting the second option may help you somewhat here, as it will mark Friday as a weekend day.

Currently the week starts on Monday on the calendar that appears when I schedule tasks and reminders and it's causing me no end of scheduling headaches and missed appointments. I really need the week to start on Sunday but the option to change the start day seems to have disappeared out of the settings menu. Can anyone help? I can't find the answer to this anywhere and I've tried everything I can think of in the Windows app and online to fix it.

So, here's the trick: it's not in the app settings, weirdly enough. On Windows, you gotta go to your system settings > Time & Language > Date & Time. Scroll down and change the "First day of the week" setting to Sunday.

I >thinkSlightly off-topic, but all of the "Sunday week starters" in the Western World are a mystery to me. The work week, school week, financial week, and government services week all start on Mondays, and so I've never understood why anyone would want their calendars to start on Sunday!

It's a Canadian thing, maybe? Carry-over from the UK? Everything starts on Monday but the calendar has always been SMTWTFS. My PC date/time settings are Sunday-start. I uninstalled the Windows app and I'm going to see if I can change it via the web. I remember several updates back there was the option to start your calendar on Sunday or Monday, but as I said it looks like that's gone now.

You folks aren't looking nearly far enough back. In very ancient Jewish and Christian tradition, God created the world on Sunday. Good enough to be God's first day.... So the tradition of the Sunday - Saturday week settled in in "the West," and largely remains. Doesn't bother me, I'm retired, nothing starts on Monday for me either! ?

OK - It seems to be specific to the Windows app on my setup, so I'm guessing it's something built into that app. The web app is Sun-Sat when scheduling things, whether or not my VPN is connected. Well, that's disappointing. I prefer to use the app for toggling purposes, but I guess I'll have to wait for an update.

Just on a practical level, I have all of my calendars start on Sunday because it makes it easy to see what I have coming up on Monday. Whenever I've changed a calendar to start on a Monday, I've regretted it when I wake up at 10 am (semi-retired, lucky me!) to find I was supposed to be somewhere at 9 am. With calendars starting on Sunday, it's more likely I'll bump into a screen that shows that pesky early appointment -- even if I'm just looking at YouTube videos or working online crossword puzzles.

It would be helpful to find a way to do this. All my settings everywhere, as well as all physical calendars I have, start on Sunday. It's easy to click the wrong thing when Evernote is the only thing I have starting on Monday.

On Sunday, the trigger item (which should change the status and then push its trigger date by a week, essentially creating a weekly trigger) is sending a message to all items on the board to move if they need to move.

thanks for this great explanation. I feel like I completely understand it, but somehow cannot manage to make it work . Ofcourse Monday constantly changes and gets updates so the reason might just be that what you where going for, does not exist anymore.

How is it possible that the week start can still not be changed to Monday? I've seen requests from over five years ago and you haven't implemented it yet. I feel like you despise all of us who are not from the USA or Canada. I was trying the tool, but I will not continue when the try is done. What a lack of respect for all countries except yours.
