Brief Summary
This video explains how to use links to walls and sections within Walling to improve context, organization, and navigation. By linking relevant content directly within bricks, users can create a more intuitive and efficient workflow, reducing reliance on the navigation bar and enabling seamless access to information from external platforms like Asana.
- Linking walls and sections enhances context and creates a natural hierarchy.
- Links can be customized and formatted in various ways.
- Walling content can be linked in external platforms like Asana.
Adding context and organization to your work in Walling can be greatly enhanced by linking relevant walls and sections within your bricks. This method helps avoid clutter in the navigation bar and ensures important information is easily accessible. The presenter uses a campaign wall example to illustrate these linking techniques.
The video demonstrates how to link an entire wall to provide additional context within a project. In the example, a "Press Ideas and Notes" wall, which contains detailed information beyond what's summarized in the main campaign's Kanban view, is linked to the campaign wall. By copying the link to the "Press Ideas and Notes" wall and pasting it into a relevant brick within the campaign wall, users can quickly access the detailed press ideas without navigating through the entire Walling interface.
The tutorial explains how to link directly to specific sections within a wall. By copying the link to the "Measure Performance" section and pasting it into a relevant brick, users can instantly access that section. This functionality includes auto-scrolling to the linked section within the wall, streamlining the process of finding specific information.
It's also possible to link to sections within the same wall. The presenter copies the link to the "Tasks" section and adds it to the "Launch Targets" brick within the same wall. Clicking this link navigates the user directly to the "Tasks" section, providing quick access to related information within the same project context.
The video highlights the different formatting options for links, including removing the text and displaying only the button with the cover image and icon. The presenter also touches on organizing walls into folders and subfolders within the navigation bar to clearly show the relevance of walls to one another, further improving overall organization.
Walling enables users to link to their work from external platforms like Asana. By copying the link to a wall and pasting it into an Asana task description, team members can directly access relevant information within Walling without leaving Asana. This integration facilitates seamless collaboration and ensures everyone has access to the most up-to-date information.

0:00 adding context and organization to what you're doing can help so much perhaps adding all of your thoughts on a certain subject to a separate wall would be more fitting but you don't want to lose it in your navigation bar or maybe you need a reminder that a certain section with some very important information still exists that is why adding relevant links to walls and sections within your bricks can be a lifesaver for example we have this wall here dedicated to our campaign the core parts are broken down by section we get our brief in our ideas and notes our tasks our files and references within this Wall's ideas and notes section we have a kanban view providing some overview of the project we've got a column dedicated to PR except you've got a lot of ideas for PR and it kind of goes beyond the minimal nature of this kanban view so instead of having a massive PR column while the
0:46 rest of our columns are otherwise short we can dedicate an entire additional wall to those ideas and notes for PR formatted with multiple sections to your liking so as you can see here we have a press idea and notes wall which is broken down to press release notes and measuring performance notes and instead of leaving this additional wall just internet navigation bar making it a little harder for us to understand the context and relevance of this wall and its importance to the campaign we can actually create a link to this wall and add it to one of the bricks where it's most relevant so to do this you just go into the wall options and click copy link to wall then we can go back to our campaign and we can add it somewhere where we think
1:32 it's best fitting now I think it would be great right here I can paste that and it creates the link for us right there that way when either you or your team are reviewing the project you can see by this link that there is actually quite a bit more to your press ideas and notes that reaches beyond the kanban column for PR and so then you can click on it and it'll take you directly to the wall with everything that you need to see all that without even having to like reference the navigation bar furthermore this can be done with just sections too so if we go into the options of our measure performance section we can actually copy the link to the section as well go back to our campaign and we can add that link the same way we did with the wall to somewhere where we find it most relevant
2:17 in this case we actually have a brick here talking about tracking performance so I'm going to add the link right there and there we go and now that we have the section linked there we can click on it and it'll take us directly to the section that we are linking to and not only that but it actually does auto scroll us to the spot where that section is on the wall now we can even create a link to a section within the same wall that we're linking to um so if we take the tasks section for example here we can go into the options and copy the link to the section and we can add that text tasks link anywhere we think it best fits so we can actually add it right here to the launch targets and then we have a link to our tasks we click that takes us right down to tasks along with that
3:03 there are multiple ways that you can format your links this text right here can actually be removed all together so it is just the button the button features your cover image if you have one and the icon you picked for your wall we can actually hide the wall preview to show just the wall or section Tech title as well as the walls icon adding these links to the walls and sections that are relevant to what you're talking about within a certain brick it enhances the context of your work and encourages a natural hierarchy to your walls sections and navigation organization instead of having all of your walls plainly listed in your navigation bar you can have folders and subfolders to organize and clearly show the relevance of walls to one another within your navigation bar as you can
3:49 see here I've got a projects folder and then within that I have a project folder just for the XYZ project which houses both the campaign wall and the Press idea and notes wall and that's all together in one piece so I can just pull that down and I already have been creating some links here to the other pieces that I might need to be referencing when going through this wall that I can easily get to by just using the links that we created when you rely more upon linking to walls and sections within your bricks the less important seeing all of your walls in your navigation bar becomes and lastly with walls and section links you can actually link to your Walling work even outside of Walling in things such as Asana say one of your team members or stakeholders is using Asana to manage their side of the project you can add a link to your
4:35 wall directly within Asana so we just go to our press ideas and notes wall we can copy the link to the wall go back to Asana go into the task we want to add our link to go into their description and paste it right there therefore allowing your team member direct access to the important information that you've put together for them regarding the project right within Asana I hope this was helpful for you and how to add relative of it links to within your bricks and also helps you create more practical and organized navigation within your walls until next time have a good one
