Who is this space for?
Teams that need items to “talk” to each other by automatically linking related records across years, categories, or stages. Ideal for analysts, operations teams, finance, product tracking, or anyone who compares item data over time.
Users must have access to monday.com’s Workflow Builder and the free Workflow Blocks: Formula app to fully use the automations in this space.
This workspace is also great for teams who want a flexible structure. The same logic can be used at the item level or subitem level—anywhere a consistent, automation-friendly ID is needed to connect related entries.
What problem does it solve?
Comparing current items to previous versions or previous years usually requires manual searching and linking. This is slow, inconsistent, and prone to mistakes.
This space removes that manual work by automatically generating a specific ID based on selected criteria (such as Category and Year). When the ID changes, automations find the matching previous item and connect them. This creates an automatic chain between items, making comparisons effortless.
What are the benefits of your space?
It creates reliable, automatic connections between related items—no manual linking required. Once connected, formulas can instantly compare values across years or versions, giving teams quick insights without complex setup.
The system is flexible: it works for items, subitems, or any structure where a generated ID can define relationships. It’s a strong foundation for more advanced automations, reporting, and historical comparison tools your team may build later.
