How to build a master board from multiple boards

Create the master board with the same column names as your team boards, mirror items to it manually or with an automation recipe on each team board, and turn on the Board Names Dropdown so you can see where each item came from.

Watch: building a master board from several team boards.

Steps

Create the master board and add the columns you want to see, using the same names and types as on the team boards (for example Status, Owner, Priority).
On each team board, mirror the existing items to the master board. Bulk mirroring is fastest.
Add a recipe on each team board such as "When an item is created, mirror it to the master board" so new work appears automatically.
On the master board, open Mirror Item, go to Board Configuration and turn on Board Names Dropdown. It adds a dropdown column showing which board each item came from.

Tip: Start with two or three shared columns such as Status and Owner, check they sync, then add more.
