Overview
Moving from Tability to monday.com is a goal-management platform to general work-management platform migration. Tability organizes around Objectives and Key Results with weekly check-in logs and an AI goal-writing layer; monday.com uses Boards, Groups, Items, and Columns with automation and dependency tracking. There is no direct OKR object in monday.com—we create a Board-per-Objective structure with Key Results modeled as Groups or Items depending on metric type, and we preserve check-in history as dated notes or timeline entries. Tability's CSV export does not include check-in logs or Strategy Map dependency graphs; we reconstruct check-in history from the activity log export and flag Strategy Map dependencies for manual re-linkage planning. AI-generated goal drafts do not migrate. Automations, reminders, and Slack/Teams integration settings do not migrate as code—we deliver a written inventory of every Tability automation and integration for the customer's admin to rebuild in monday.com's Automation Centre and integrations page.
Every standard and custom field arrives verified.
AI proposes the map; you confirm before any record moves.
Parent–child, lookups, and ownership stay linked.
Calls, emails, meetings — with original timestamps.
Documents, uploads, and inline notes move with the record.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Tability object lands in monday Work Management, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.
Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.
Tability
Objective
monday Work Management
Board
1:1Tability Objectives map to monday.com Boards. We create the Board with the Objective title as Board name, description in the Board welcome column, owner mapped to a Board subscriber, and start/end dates set via timeline column configuration. Each Board is created before any Items are imported so that group and item dependencies resolve correctly. For organizations using Tability's parent-child objective hierarchy, parent Objectives become top-level Boards and child Objectives become Groups within the parent Board.
Tability
Key Result
monday Work Management
Group or Item
lossyKey Results map to monday.com Groups or Items depending on metric type. Numeric, percentage, currency, and binary Key Results migrate as Groups containing Items where each Item represents a measurement update (current value vs target value). Progress percentage is stored in a number column, target in a separate number column, and the metric unit label as a text column. On monday.com Pro and Enterprise, the dependency column can link Key Result Groups to the parent Objective Board for cross-board alignment visibility.
Tability
Task
monday Work Management
Item
1:1Tability Tasks connected to Objectives migrate as monday.com Items. We map assignee to the People column, due date to the Date column, status to the Status column (with Tability's open/in-progress/complete states mapped to monday.com's default or custom status values), and description to the Text column. If Tasks have a direct Key Result linkage, we set the Item's Group assignment to match the Key Result Group.
Tability
Check-in
monday Work Management
Update or Item Note
1:1Tability check-ins are timestamped progress updates with author and note content. The CSV export does not include check-in history. We export the activity log separately and reconstruct check-in entries as monday.com Updates on the corresponding Board or Item (using the Update API), preserving date, author, note text, and the updated progress value. If the activity log is inaccessible on the customer's Tability tier, we flag this gap and recommend the customer export a screenshot archive of key check-in periods before cutover.
Tability
Strategy Map
monday Work Management
Dependency Column
1:1The cross-team dependency graph in Tability's Strategy Map has no structured export format. We extract a best-effort adjacency list by querying linked Objectives manually from the UI. For organizations with more than 20 cross-linked Objectives, we flag this as a manual re-linkage scope. On monday.com Pro and Enterprise, we configure the Dependency column on the relevant Boards and deliver a written dependency map listing every Objective pair and its dependency direction for the customer's admin to re-link manually post-migration.
Tability
User and Owner
monday Work Management
User (People column)
1:1Tability user records carry name and email. We match by email to the monday.com workspace User directory. Owners assigned to Objectives or Key Results map to the People column on the Board or Item. Users without a matching monday.com account are flagged as ghost owners and held in a reconciliation queue for the customer's admin to provision before the migration resumes. Active versus inactive status is preserved in a text column for admin review.
Tability
Custom Properties (Objective)
monday Work Management
Custom Columns
lossyTability allows custom fields on Objectives. We export them as name-value pairs and create monday.com columns of the matching type (text, number, date, dropdown). Type coercion is applied where Tability stores a numeric value in a text field; we create a number column in monday.com and flag any value that fails validation for manual correction.
Tability
Custom Properties (Key Result)
monday Work Management
Custom Columns
lossyTability Key Result custom fields map to monday.com columns on the Group or Item representing the Key Result. Metric type configurations (number, percentage, currency, binary) are preserved as separate configuration columns alongside the custom fields. Tability's metric type selector does not have a direct monday.com equivalent; we document the metric type as a text column label and advise the customer to use the relevant column type for the metric values themselves.
Tability
Tag and Label
monday Work Management
Tags or Label Column
lossyTability tags applied to Objectives and Key Results are exported as a string array. On monday.com Standard and above, we map them to the native Tags feature on Boards. On Basic tier (which has no Tags), we attach them as a comma-separated text value in a custom label column. The customer chooses tag strategy during scoping based on their monday.com plan tier.
Tability
Integrations (Slack, Teams, Jira, Asana)
monday Work Management
Documented for rebuild
1:1Tability integration configurations (Slack delivery, Teams check-in prompts, Jira linkage, Asana sync) are destination-side settings that do not carry over as migration data. We document each active integration with its trigger conditions and delivery target so the customer's admin can re-configure equivalent automations in monday.com's Automation Centre or re-establish native integrations from the Integrations page post-migration.
Tability
AI Goal Recommendations
monday Work Management
Not migratable
1:1Tability's AI-generated goal drafts exist within the platform's AI feature layer and are not stored as structured database records. They cannot be exported or migrated to any destination platform. We document this boundary upfront so customers do not expect their AI-generated draft library to carry over. monday.com's own AI capabilities or third-party OKR integrations (such as Apero, Koan, or Perdoo connectors) regenerate recommendations post-migration.
Tability
Dashboard
monday Work Management
Documented for rebuild
1:1Tability dashboards are saved view configurations with chart layouts and filter state. These are UI-level constructs with no semantic data content. We do not migrate dashboard layouts. We deliver a written inventory of each dashboard's chart type, metric, and filter configuration so the customer's admin can rebuild equivalent views using monday.com's Chart View and Dashboard widgets post-migration.

Migration approach
Discovery and data audit
We audit the source Tability workspace across plan tier, workspace structure (teams and programs), total Objectives, total Key Results, check-in volume, Strategy Map dependency count, active integrations, and user seat count. We confirm whether the activity log is accessible for check-in history export and identify any custom properties on Objectives and Key Results. We also confirm the destination monday.com plan tier (Basic, Standard, Pro, or Enterprise) because Tags, Dependency columns, and Automation Centre access are tier-gated.
Schema design and OKR-to-board mapping plan
We design the monday.com destination schema. Each Tability Objective becomes a Board with the Objective title as Board name, description in the welcome column, owner as Board subscriber, and dates as timeline columns. Each Key Result becomes a Group or Item depending on metric type. We configure custom columns to match Tability custom fields, apply type coercion where needed, and design the dependency linkage plan for cross-Board dependencies. This schema is reviewed and approved by the customer before any data moves.
Data export and check-in history reconstruction
We execute the Tability CSV export in batches organized by team and program. For each batch, we export the activity log separately and merge it with the CSV records by Objective and Key Result ID to reconstruct the check-in timeline. We extract a best-effort Strategy Map dependency adjacency list from the UI for organizations with cross-linked Objectives. All exported data is validated against the Tability workspace record counts before transformation begins.
Sandbox migration and reconciliation
We run a full migration into a monday.com Sandbox Board or test workspace using production-like data volume. The customer's project lead reconciles record counts (Boards in, Groups in, Items in), spot-checks 20-30 records against the Tability source, and validates that custom field values, owner assignments, and check-in history entries transferred correctly. Any mapping corrections happen in the sandbox, not in production. Owner reconciliation (matching Tability users to monday.com workspace members) is validated at this stage.
Production migration in dependency order
We run production migration in record-dependency order: workspace members and owners (validated), Boards (Objectives), Groups and Items (Key Results and Tasks), check-in history reconstructed as Updates, custom properties as columns, tags as Labels or text columns, and Strategy Map dependencies documented for manual re-linkage. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report before the next phase begins. monday.com's GraphQL API rate limits (10M complexity units per minute) are managed with batching and exponential backoff.
Cutover, validation, and automation inventory handoff
We freeze Tability writes during cutover, run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window, then enable monday.com as the system of record. We deliver the automation inventory document listing every Tability weekly reminder, Slack/Teams delivery setting, and integration with its trigger and recommended monday.com Automation Centre equivalent. We support a five-business-day hypercare window where we resolve reconciliation issues. We do not rebuild Tability automations in monday.com as part of the migration scope; that work is handled by the customer's admin post-migration.
