Available on all Teamwork.com plans. Filtering options and available results depend on your access to the associated projects and tasks.
Feature overview
What
Filtering in the Everything area lets you filter tasks across projects in Teamwork.com so you can focus on the specific work you want to review. Depending on the view you are using, such as Tasks, Table, Board, or Completed tasks, you can apply filters based on criteria such as status, assignee, due date, project, and tags.
Why
  • Quickly filter tasks across multiple projects without opening each project individually.
  • Focus on active work, completed work, or a specific subset of tasks.
  • Create precise views by combining multiple filters.
  • Reuse saved filters to speed up recurring workflows.
Who
  • Users who can access the Everything area and related tasks.
Your permissions determine which projects and tasks appear in the Everything area, so filters only return results you are allowed to view.
When
Use filters when you want a cross-project view of a specific group of tasks. For example, show only active tasks assigned to a specific person or focus on overdue or upcoming work that needs attention.

Before you start

Filtering is available in each task view in the Everything area (Tasks, Table, Board, Completed tasks). The exact filter options and layout vary by view.

Use filters in Teamwork to filter tasks across projects in the Everything area, including both active and completed tasks.

Use filters in Everything task views

Open a task view

  1. Select Everything in Teamwork.com's main navigation menu.
  2. Switch to a task view: Tasks, Table, Board, or Completed tasks.

Apply filters

  1. Click Filter in the view's top right.
  2. Choose a filter option (such as status, assignee, or due date).
  3. Select the filter criteria (for example, a specific assignee or tasks with a "Review" tag).
  4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 to combine filters and refine results further. 

Filters apply instantly, allowing you to refine results in real time without leaving the view.

Understand filter options

Most filter options are shared across task views in the Everything area, though the exact layout and available fields may vary depending on the view you are using.

These filter options generally fall into the following groups:
  • Task details: Status, assignee, priority.
  • Time: Due date, date created, completion date, and related date-based filters.
  • Project and structure: Project, tags, stages, and other structural filters.
  • Additional options: Subtasks, completed tasks, created by, followers.

Combine filters

Combine filters such as status, assignee, and due date to create a focused view of your work.
💡
Combining filters is one of the fastest ways to manage large task sets across projects.

Best practices

  • Start broad, then narrow: Begin with a high-level filter such as status, then refine results as needed.
  • Use status first: Separate active and completed tasks early to quickly focus your view.
  • Combine filters carefully: Adding too many filters can limit results more than expected, so refine step by step.
  • Save useful views: Save frequently used filter combinations to avoid rebuilding them each time.
