Introduction
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.
Linking Walls for Enhanced Context
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.
Linking Sections for Direct Access
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.
Linking Sections Within the Same Wall
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.
Customizing and Organizing Links
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.
Linking to Walling Content from External Platforms
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.
