monday.com subitems - it's all in the detail
Avid monday.com users will be very familiar with the subitems feature.
However, for any newbies to the tool (welcome!) - subitems are an integral feature to the structure of monday.com's boards. They enable users to gain a deeper level of insight into the individual items being added to your boards and provide all of the users in your workspace with the additional details they need to keep track of ongoing projects.
monday.com subitems are much more than a simple to-do list. Their flexibility allows you and your teams to break down those larger projects and goals into smaller, more actionable pieces by allowing you to add comments, tag specific team members to individual tasks, and give you a high-level, visual overview of all activities in your monday.com workflows.
Let's take a look at monday.com subitems in action. In the example below, we can see that a Marketing Manager has created an item for a new product launch and has added subitems to outline each of the individual assets that will be needed for the launch.

Looking for that extra, granular level of detail? Step forward Unlimited Subitems
We use more tools today for work than ever before.
With the acceleration of digital transformation over the last few years, there has never been a greater need for the tools we use to make our lives easier and more productive. Not only do we need them to help enable our workflows, but also help them to thrive.
The findings from The Adaptavist Group's Digital Etiquette: Reinventing Work 2022 report brought this topic into sharp focus. Of the 4400+ global workers that were surveyed, 38% indicated that they suffer from tool fatigue due to their company having too many tools. A further 57% noted that they spend over 30 minutes each day switching between tools, searching for information they need to do their job.
This brings us to the forefront of what we do here at Upscale, how can we make our customers' lives easier? How can we help them overcome some of the challenges highlighted by the report above?
It is in asking ourselves these questions that led to the development of Unlimited Subitems for monday.com - how do we take an already great feature and build on it to improve the experience for monday.com users?

Why use Unlimited Subitems for monday.com? What's the difference?
We're proud to champion monday.com subitems. However, we know that there are those, particularly in marketing, project management, or operations lead roles that will require that extra level of detail on individual project tasks. They will want to know exactly what goes into creating an individual asset or item so that they can get a more accurate idea of time frames, resources and possible cost implications and risks.
What Unlimited Subitems for monday.com provides is a hierarchical structure to the subitems feature. Each subitem can have its own, unlimited number of subitems, allowing you to add as much detail as you like. And, just like the native subitems feature, can easily be expanded and collapsed to show as much (or as little) as you want, while making sure your board remains nice and organised and still able to provide that top-level view.
Using the same example as above for the native subitems feature, let's look at how a Marketing Manager could use Unlimited Subitems for monday.com.

Using the same example as above for the native subitems feature, let's look at how a Marketing Manager could use Unlimited Subitems for monday.com.
As we can see above, our Marketing Manager has used Unlimited Subitems to give each individual asset needed for the product launch an extra granular level of detail, outlining exactly what is required for the completion of each asset.
Where the native subitem has been used to outline the need for a blog, for example, the Unlimited Subitems app then breaks down each step needed to bring that blog to life, from ideation to drafting, reviewing and then, our favourite, published!
Similarly, where our first example outlined the need for organic social media posts, we can see in the second how Unlimited Subitems breaks down the process in more detail, from raising a design ticket with the design team for social graphics to contacting the social media team to calendarise the individual posts, you get a complete, overarching picture thanks to Unlimited Subitems.
By using this powerful new tool to detail processes and initiatives more accurately, you are expanding monday.com's scope for project tracking and reducing the need to find workarounds and other tools to keep note of these more detailed tasks - reducing that time-consuming tool-switching we examined above.
And the best part? It's completely free to try! Add Unlimited Subitems to your monday.com workspace today!
