Monday.com board health on an Apple TV dashboard
Monday.com teams run projects and operations on boards, and the questions are always the same: how much is done, what is stuck, what is late. Dance Party reads a board's items and statuses and turns them into an Apple TV dashboard for the office display, like the battery widget on a Monday.com dashboard, readable from across the room.
- Read-only
- OAuth connection
- One connection per workspace
Monday.com dashboard examples
What teams running Monday.com put on the screen, and what you would ask DJ Agent to get it.
Board battery for the project wall
For project managers and the team on the board
The battery is the widget Monday.com users already read first: done against total. On a shared screen it tells the team where the project stands without anyone opening the board.
- Items on the board and how many are in a done status
- Open items still in progress
- Overdue items: a date before today and not done
Ask DJ Agent“Show a battery for our Q4 Launch Monday.com board: done out of total, with open and overdue counts.”
Status column breakdown
For operations and delivery leads
The Status column is the heart of a Monday.com board. A bar for each label, in your board's own words like Working on it and Stuck, shows where work is piling up.
- Items per label in the board's Status column
- Which labels count as done, as set on the board
- Items with no status set
Ask DJ Agent“Chart items by Status on our Client Onboarding Monday.com board, using the board's own labels.”
Next deadlines and what is late
For the team working the board
An item page on Monday.com shows its date, but a screen that lists the next deadlines with the late ones in red gets them handled before the weekly check-in.
- Items with the nearest dates in the board's date column
- Each item's status and group
- Overdue items flagged
Ask DJ Agent“List the next 5 deadlines on our Marketing Requests Monday.com board, overdue ones first.”
Items per group
For department heads running several workstreams on one board
Groups split a board into phases, teams or months. Ranking them by item count shows which workstream is carrying the most.
- Items in each group on the board
- Groups ranked largest first
- The board's total item count
Ask DJ Agent“Rank the groups on our Q4 Launch Monday.com board by how many items each holds.”
What Dance Party reads from Monday.com

- 1From Integrations in Dance Party, click Connect Monday.com.
- 2Sign in to Monday.com and pick the account if you belong to more than one.
- 3If Dance Party is not installed on that account yet, Monday.com shows an install screen. An admin clicks Install.
- 4Approve the read-only permissions: your profile, boards, account and workspaces. After approval you land back in Dance Party with the card marked Connected.

One Monday.com connection per workspace
One Monday.com account per Dance Party workspace, read as the person who connected it. Connect as someone who can see every board you want on screen, because a board they cannot open will not show up.
Read-only. The four Monday.com scopes can read your profile, boards, account and workspaces, and Dance Party never sends a mutation. It cannot create, move, update or archive an item. Disconnect on the Integrations page, and a Monday.com admin can uninstall the app from the account.

Monday.com dashboard questions
Can I put a Monday.com board on the office display?
Yes. Connect Monday.com, ask DJ Agent for a board's battery, status chart or deadlines, and assign it to a screen running the Dance Party Apple TV app.
How does Dance Party decide an item is overdue?
The item's date is before today and its status is not a done label. It uses the board's date column, or the one you name when there are several.
Can it show owner names from Monday.com?
No. Dance Party counts how many items each owner holds but never displays Monday.com names or emails, so a workload view shows counts only.
What about boards with more than 500 items?
The summary covers the first 500 items and the widget labels it that way. A deadline list can be narrowed to one group, such as This month.
How often does a Monday.com widget refresh?
Hourly by default. Monday.com's Free, Basic and Standard plans allow 1,000 API calls a day, so Monday.com widgets stay on the default interval.
Do I need a Monday.com admin to connect?
Only the first time. A Monday.com account admin installs the Dance Party app once. After that, the person connecting just needs access to the boards.
Can Dance Party change items on my board?
No. Every request is a fixed read query, so it cannot create, move, update, archive or delete items, boards or updates.
