Data Warehouse

Monday.com is on the Grow Data Warehouse, which we highly recommend you use. For more information about warehousing your data, visit the Data Warehouse Help Article.

Custom Tables

You can choose which boards to pull into Grow by choosing the Workspace name and selecting the Board you want. You can name your warehoused table according to your needs. Each board will be warehoused as a separate table.

Monday.com's API treats all Subitems on a particular board as a standalone board and thus will be displayed in the drop-down as "- Subitems of [board name]" underneath the parent board name.
