Within
Teamwork.com, you can use the My work area for an overview of
your tasks in one place.
From the Home section, select My work from the horizontal navigation menu.
In the top right of the My work area,
you can view quick status counts of
your tasks and milestones based on what is
late, due today, or upcoming. These status counts are visible across all subsections of the Home area.
Use the dropdown
on the left to toggle between tasks and
milestones. The counts update
automatically.
- The Upcoming count for My tasks includes tasks with a future start date or with a due date within the next 14 days. They must not have a start date of today or in the past — those tasks are listed in the Today section in the main tasks view.
- The Upcoming section in the main tasks view shows your tasks that have any due date in the future.
In the My work table view, each of
your tasks is listed on individual rows
grouped into subsections based on their
associated dates (late, today, upcoming, no
date). A count of the number of associated
tasks will be displayed beside each status
heading.
Each task row will also display its
corresponding properties such as assignee, due
date, and priority.
You can collapse and expand each of
the status subsections by clicking the arrow
to the left of the status heading.
You can create new tasks
directly from the My work view
by clicking Add task in the
top right. You can also access your personal
tasks.
Filtering tasks
Using the search field at
the top of the view, you
can filter tasks based on assignee or task
name.
You can also click the filters icon to the right of the search field to access advanced filter options. A dropdown will open where you can specify certain tags, priority levels, projects, or task creators. Using the checkbox option at the bottom of the filters pane, you can also refine to show only tasks assigned directly to you.
The My work view will update automatically as you select each filter criteria. The filters icon will also update to reflect the number of active filter criteria currently applied.
- You can use the Save filter option to save the chosen criteria for quicker filtering in the future.
- Click the x on the filters icon to clear the current selection.
