Overview
Migrating from Viewpath to monday.com is a legacy extraction and model remapping, not a standard API-to-API sync. Viewpath ceased operations in 2022 without an exportable API or official shutdown documentation, which means we rely on reconstructed exports, manual UI exports, and direct database access where available to retrieve your schedule data. The Gantt-centric project model in Viewpath maps to monday.com boards with Items and Timeline columns; finish-to-start, start-to-start, and other dependency types require a Pro plan upgrade because dependency tracking is Standard-plan gated. We flag every locked task from Viewpath's known UI glitches, preserve baseline schedules as reference artifacts, and deliver a written automation and custom report inventory so your admin can rebuild those configurations in monday.com after migration. Automations and custom views do not migrate as code.

Object mapping
Each row shows how a Viewpath 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.
Viewpath
Project
monday Work Management
Board
1:1Viewpath Projects map to monday.com Boards. The Project name, description, start date, end date, status, and owner assignment transfer to the Board name, description, and admin. We create one Board per Viewpath Project. If a Viewpath Project was saved as a reusable template rather than an active project, we document the template structure for manual board creation in monday.com rather than importing a template that carries no active schedule data.
Viewpath
Task
monday Work Management
Item
1:1Viewpath Tasks map to monday.com Items. Task name, planned start and end dates, duration, percent complete, and priority transfer to Item name, Timeline column, and numeric or status columns. We flag Tasks that were flagged as locked in Viewpath's UI and report them separately; locked items cannot be imported as editable records because the lock state has no monday.com equivalent. The customer manually recreates those schedule segments in the destination.
Viewpath
Dependency
monday Work Management
Dependency Column (Pro+)
1:1Viewpath's finish-to-start, start-to-start, finish-to-finish, and start-to-finish dependency types map to monday.com's dependency column which natively supports finish-to-start only. For finish-to-start dependencies, we set the monday.com dependency column directly. For non-FS dependency types, we preserve the original dependency type and source-target pair in a custom text column so the customer can reconstruct the logic manually in monday.com. Monday.com's dependency column requires a Pro plan ($19/seat/mo); Standard-plan customers receive the dependency data as a reference export.
Viewpath
Resource
monday Work Management
People Column
1:1Viewpath Resources represent people allocated to tasks with name, role, and allocation percentage. We map these to monday.com People columns on each Item, resolving each resource to the monday.com User by email match. Allocation percentage maps to a numeric column since monday.com People columns do not natively store allocation percentage. We flag any Resource without a matching monday.com User for admin provisioning before the migration finalizes.
Viewpath
User
monday Work Management
User
1:1Viewpath Users with name, email, and role assignment map to monday.com Workspace Members. We extract the full user list and resolve by email. Any Viewpath User referenced on a Task or Resource without a monday.com Workspace Member account goes to a reconciliation queue for the admin to provision before migration resumes.
Viewpath
Gantt Chart
monday Work Management
Board with Timeline Column
lossyViewpath's Gantt view configuration (column layout, grouping, collapsed rows) is stored as a view preference in Viewpath's proprietary UI and has no monday.com equivalent as a data object. We extract the underlying schedule data (Tasks, Dependencies, Resources) and configure monday.com Boards with Timeline columns as the equivalent scheduling view. The customer recreates the visual grouping and collapsed-row state manually in monday.com's Board view settings.
Viewpath
Baseline
monday Work Management
Reference Artifact
1:1Viewpath baseline schedules (saved project baselines with per-task baseline start and end dates) map to a structured data export we deliver as a CSV alongside the monday.com migration. Monday.com does not have a native baseline feature, so we cannot import baselines as a live comparison tool. We preserve the original baseline dates and the comparison logic so the customer can manually create baseline-equivalent duplicate timeline records in monday.com if needed for schedule comparison.
Viewpath
Custom Report
monday Work Management
Board Filtering + Dashboard
lossyViewpath custom filtered reports store filter logic tied to the platform's UI. We extract the report definitions including all filter conditions, column selections, and grouping logic as a structured document. We rebuild equivalent board views in monday.com using the native Group, Filter, and Sort tools. Dashboard-level report summaries rebuild as monday.com Dashboard widgets. The customer validates the rebuilt views against the extracted report data during the validation window.
Viewpath
Attachment
monday Work Management
Item Attachment or URL Column
1:1Viewpath's primary document attachment mechanism was linking to files stored in Google Drive through Viewpath's embedded viewer. Since Viewpath is closed, the application's OAuth integration with Google Drive is no longer valid. We attempt to resolve each linked document URL and flag any that return a 403 or 404 error. Resolved URLs are preserved as a URL column in monday.com; broken links are reported in a separate inventory so the customer can re-upload or reconnect files in their destination system.
Viewpath
Portfolio-level Data
monday Work Management
Workspace (optional)
lossyViewpath had no structured Portfolio or Program object. Organizations that used Viewpath to manage multiple projects across a portfolio used workarounds such as shared Resources or naming conventions rather than a native portfolio view. We document any multi-project patterns found in Viewpath data and recommend a monday.com Workspace structure as the equivalent portfolio container if the customer has multiple related Boards to organize.
Viewpath
Task Lock (glitch artifact)
monday Work Management
Flagged for manual rebuild
1:1Multiple Capterra reviewers documented task-locking glitches in Viewpath's UI where specific tasks became uneditable. We detect these locked records during extraction and flag them explicitly rather than importing the locked state. The locked-task list is delivered as a separate inventory so the customer can manually recreate those schedule segments in monday.com. We do not attempt to preserve the locked state because monday.com has no task-lock equivalent.
Viewpath
Automations (Viewpath notifications)
monday Work Management
Automation Builder
lossyViewpath automations consisted of basic task-level notifications and reminder emails. These do not migrate as executable code because the automation logic is not exported as a structured object from Viewpath. We deliver a written inventory of automations documented from customer-provided screenshots or descriptions, with recommended monday.com automation recipes for each trigger and action. The customer's monday.com admin rebuilds these in the Automation Builder post-migration.

Migration approach
Urgency intake and extraction scoping
We initiate migration scoping immediately upon customer intake because Viewpath's infrastructure continues degrading. We request the customer attempt a manual CSV or Excel export from the Viewpath reporting interface immediately, before any other scoping steps begin. We assess available extraction channels (manual exports, database access if the customer still has backend access, any previously downloaded backups) and prioritize the fastest available channel for initial data pull. The scoping call also identifies locked tasks, saved baselines, and custom report definitions that require special handling.
monday.com workspace and board design
We design the monday.com destination schema based on the extracted Viewpath data. Each Viewpath Project becomes a monday.com Board with a workspace grouping that reflects any portfolio-level organization identified during extraction. We configure Timeline columns, People columns, Status columns, and any numeric columns needed for allocation percentages. We confirm the customer's target monday.com plan tier (Standard or Pro) early because it determines whether the native dependency column is available. If the Pro plan is required for dependencies, we include this in the destination edition recommendation before extraction begins.
Test migration and data validation
We run a full extraction and import into a monday.com test workspace using representative data volume. The customer reviews the imported Boards and Items against the source Viewpath export, spot-checking task names, dates, assignments, and dependency chains. We flag any mapping corrections needed before production migration begins. This step is where baseline reconstruction, locked-task reporting, and broken document link detection are finalized. No production data moves until the customer signs off on the test migration results.
Production migration in record order
We execute the production migration in dependency order: Users and workspace members (validated against monday.com accounts), Boards from Projects, Items from Tasks with Timeline dates resolved, People assignments with allocation percentages, dependency relationships, and baseline data as reference artifacts. Attachments with resolved URLs are added to Items; broken links are reported separately. Each phase emits a row-count reconciliation report. We freeze Viewpath write access during the cutover window and run a final delta migration of any records modified during the migration window.
Cutover and automation handoff
We enable monday.com as the system of record after the final delta migration and reconciliation report is complete. We deliver the automation inventory document, the baseline reference CSV, the locked-task reconstruction list, and the broken-link inventory as separate files. The customer's monday.com admin rebuilds automations using the provided inventory and monday.com's Automation Builder. We do not rebuild automations as code inside the migration scope; that is a separate engagement. We provide a one-week post-migration reconciliation window to address any data issues raised by the project team.
