View tasks

Click Home in Teamwork.com's main navigation menu.
Switch to the My work tab.
📝 Some legacy Teamwork.com accounts have a My work view picker. Click the table icon () in the top right to switch from List to Table view.

Assigned tasks

Choose whose tasks you want to view. My work defaults to your own assigned tasks — switch to another user or select multiple people for a combined view.

Click the plus icon in the view's top left to open the people picker.
Next:

Remove yourself: Uncheck the box on your name's left.
Add people: Check the box on the left of each person you want to include.

Click Update.

The My work task groupings update to show the selected assignees' tasks.

📝 The assignee filter only applies to the tasks displayed in My work. The My tasks / milestones counter in the view's top right only reflects your own assigned items.

In My work table view, tasks are listed on individual rows, grouped by status based on their associated dates (late, today, upcoming, no date).

A count of the tasks in each section is displayed beside each status heading.

Click the arrow () on a status heading's left to collapse or expand the section.

Each task row displays the task's properties (assignee, due date, priority etc.).

Task groupings

Tasks are grouped based on their due date:

Late — task's due date has passed
Today — task's due date is today
Tomorrow — task's due date is tomorrow
This week — task's due date falls in the current week.
📝 Tasks due today are only shown under "Today," and not "This week."
Next week — task's due date falls in the following week.
Later — tasks with a due date in the future but later than "Next week."
No date — task has no due date

Tasks and milestones counter

In the My work area's top right, you can view task and milestone status counts based on what is late, due today, or upcoming. These status counts are visible across all subsections of the Home area and reflect only your assigned tasks and milestones.

Use the dropdown on the left to toggle between tasks and milestones. The counts update automatically.

The Upcoming count includes tasks with a due date within the next 14 days.

Best practices

Close the loop: Check the Late section at the start of each working week and action any outstanding tasks that have become overdue.
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.
