At monday.com, we strive to improve the way companies work together, with the goal of increasing team productivity and efficiency. The monday.com Jobs provides an account with an organization hierarchy, to help you better manage departments, teams, and projects in one unified place.

With so much going on around you, you can stay focused on what matters to you, while being able to easily navigate between teams, departments, or projects.

Tip: To learn about jobs in the mobile app, check out this article.

When you create a new account, you will find a primary job added by default called “Primary Job.” This job can be used for management and collaboration across all of the company’s boards , as all team members are on this job.

Note: There is no “primary work” in our monday.com products.

Note: The default space created with your account is the primary job. You cannot remove members, delete, or change the primary job to a different type.

If you don’t see the work navigation section on the left side of your screen, it may be collapsed right now. Just click the arrow to open the navigation like this:

Creating jobs

To create a new job, click the jobs drop-down menu on the top left of the screen and select “Add Job” like this:

Once you add a name and create jobs, team members can simply move the boards to the appropriate job to stay organized. There’s no limit to the number of jobs you can create!

Organization accounts have the option to create closed jobs. Closed jobs are only accessible to other team members via request or invitation. If you are part of an organizational account, you can select the “Closed” button at the bottom of the “Add New Job” box when you create your job.

Note: If you’re part of an organizational account and want to learn more, refer to this section of the article.

Managing team members

• Team member subscription for jobs

Once you have created your work, you can invite anyone you want by clicking on the “Friends” board and adding the username you want to invite. Work friends will have access to all main boards in the work, as well as all private and shared boards they are subscribed to.

• Joining or leaving a job

Joining a job can be done by clicking on the job name, then clicking “Join Job” in the upper right corner. All team members can join, including admins and viewers, except guests.

Closed jobs, however, will have the option to “Request to Join,” which will ask the employer for permission to do so. Once you’ve joined the job, you can leave using the same button.

• Removing team members from jobs

When clicking on the job name, job owners can see all the team members who have joined the job in the “Members” panel. By clicking the “x” to the right of a member’s name, they can remove team members accordingly, to keep everyone involved relevant.

Navigating between jobs

You can easily switch between jobs using the jobs drop-down menu at the top left of your screen:

From this menu, you can search or scroll to find the relevant job! When you select a job, you will be taken to its home page , where you can easily navigate to your recently visited boards/examples and manage your subscriptions and permissions (available on the Enterprise plan only), and more information about that job.

Order of works

When you scroll down, you’ll find a section titled “Works I’m Collaborating On.” Here, you can easily locate works you’re not subscribed to, but you’re subscribed to on a board or examples within .

Further organization with folders

Below each individual job, you can add folders to group related boards and better organize your workflows. Folders add an extra layer of detail and organization, ensuring your account is always manageable for your teams.

Types of jobs

Note: The following section is only applicable for Enterprise plan accounts.

With open jobs:

• Any team member can join an open job.
• Each team member will be able to access all main boards in all open jobs and all private/shared boards to which they have been invited.

With closed jobs:

• Any team member can join by invitation or request to join.
• Once they join, they will be able to access all main boards within this work, and all private/shared boards to which they have been invited.
• Any team member who subscribes to a board from a closed job will be able to access it, but will not be able to see anything else within the job.
• The main boards in closed jobs are only accessible to team members who have joined the job (and also to mentioned subscribers).
• These jobs will be marked with a lock icon, indicating a closed job.

Note: Account administrators on the Enterprise plan will be able to see high-level details of a closed job such as its name, subscribers, and creation date through the content book.

Limit who can create jobs

The default is that all team members can create work. However, account administrators on the Enterprise plan can also manage who can create work, Which allows for an additional level of control. This can be done by clicking on your profile picture in the bottom left corner of the screen, then “Administrator”, and navigating to “ Permissions “:

Note: Organizational accounts can also set permissions within each job to limit who can create boards, dashboards, automations, and more within that job!

Faq

Who will see main boards in my account?

All team members can access the main boards in open jobs, via QuickSwitch and “Search All.” For jobs they join, team members will see all the main boards in their board list. However, in closed jobs, only members who are subscribed to the job or a specific board will have access to them.

Who will see private/shared boards on my account?

Only team members subscribed to those boards can access them in open and closed jobs. Guests will only have access to the boards where they have been invited.

Can administrators access all the jobs and boards in my account?

Managers can join closed and open jobs without requesting access. Like team members, they will be able to access all main boards in open and closed jobs on the account, and any private/shared boards they have been invited to. However, if the manager has not been invited to a private board, they will not be able to access it.
