Probably best described as a use-case… I have multiple pages, one per project I’m working on. Each project page has a board on it. Each page also has one or more sub-pages for various reasons, one of which is meeting notes – one page per meeting. When that meeting produces action items, I toss in a checkbox list. The result is I’ve got 5 boards, and probably 30 or 40 to-do lists.
Feature request: it would be incredibly useful to create a roll-up that aggregates all those to-do lists into one list. Same for the boards, one aggregate board to get a birds-eye view would be very useful instead of having to click through a myriad of pages one by one. Making board references a multi-select would do, and making to-do lists referenceable, again with multi-select, seems like it would fit well into the current UX.

I just asked about this “smart grid/board” feature in the “Get Help” forum in case I’d missed this functionality. It would be tremendously helpful. Until it is available I’m stuck managing all these lists in one master list, and filtering by type/tag in order to view the specific items under one of the areas I oversee. Ideally, you’d be able to do this at the whole list level, like generating a new grid that pull all the items from another grid (or grids) and filters them according to your specifications.
I think this is an excellent idea.. I think you could apply this concept across the board for all template of the same type.. The idea would be that you could request a set of items of the same type that would repeat hierarchically. For example if you had a help page under each page you could present all help pages from a certain parent node in your hierarchy and display them all in one location. This could be achieved by using the same template layout repeated for each sub node essentially displaying the same information but separated by headers under which the child nodes content for the template are repeated. I am not sure about how feasible this is.. But it seems like a worthy addition.
