  • Later — tasks with a due date in the future but later than "Next week."
  • No date — task has no due date

  • Stay focused: Start each work day by checking your 'My work' view for a real time view of your current priorities.
  • Plan ahead: Leverage the Next week and Later sections for a better understanding of your upcoming work. Take it a step further by filtering to custom future due date periods such as next month.
  • Get a birds eye view: Use the people filter to customize whose tasks are shown. Filter to one individual or team at a time or select all of your team members to view your team's focus areas.
