What is “my job”?

how does it work

Start using My Work by clicking on the calendar to-do list icon located in your left panel . When you hover over the icon, you will see the word “My Work.”

Here you can track the daily tasks assigned to you from all the boards in your account. This means that in order to see items in “My Work”, it is important that you have a People Column and you are associated with the items you want to see. It is also important to set up a status column in your boards to indicate the progress of that item.

Note: You can also see tasks assigned to anyone else on your account. This is enabled in the personalization settings!

What information can I see?

The items and sub-items in My Work are formatted similarly to how they appear in your boards.

See how “My Work” is structured

• Item name, sub-items, and updates section
• Linked board name
• Group name
• People column showing you and others assigned to the item
• Date column
• Status column
• Priority column

Your subitems will appear like other items with a few important differences. In the “Board” section, you’ll see “Subitems of…” followed by the name of the board they’re associated with. You can also see the original parent item by clicking the subitem icon next to its name.

Note: There is a limit of 250 boards or 1000 items that can be displayed in My Work, and sub-items are considered part of the original item. You will be notified when you reach the limit.

How do the items appear?

The items are arranged in six sections by date (or without date) and there is a number next to each group indicating the number of items in each section.

See the categories

• Past Dates – All dates that have passed

• Today – Today’s date

• This week – dates for the current week, excluding today’s date

• Next week – Dates for the coming week

• Later – dates after next week

• No date – no date set

Note: Items will appear in the “Past Dates”, “Today”, “This Week”, “Next Week”, and “Later” sections based on the date set in the date column. However, items do not have to have a date column to appear in My Work, and items without a date will appear in the “No Date” section.

Search for items in “My Work”

If you’re a little confused by the variety of items you see in “My Work,” you’re not alone. Some items aren’t always relevant, so we’ve added a search bar to help you easily filter through the items and find what you’re looking for!

Note: For an item to appear in the “My Work” area, The item must have been updated within the last six months. Items not updated within this time frame will not appear.

Hide completed items

While My Work is a great place to see everything in your account that’s assigned to you, you may want to only see tasks that haven’t been completed yet. That’s why we’ve added a “Hide Completed Items” option!

Click the “Customize” button in the top right corner, and check the box for “Hide completed items.” My Work will then filter out all items marked as “Done,” or with any other status label set to Complete in the Status column.

Tip: Check out this article to learn how to set which label and color indicate that your item is “Done”!

You can choose which of your assignees you want their items to appear in My Work. Choose yourself or any of the team members or guests on your account!

• Boards

Note: The boards you hide in My Work are hidden only in this section and not in your entire account.

• Status and date column

If one of your boards has more than one status column or date column, you can use the drop-down menu to select which one you want to see in My Work for each of your boards. If one of your boards has only one status column or date column, it will be automatically selected by default.

While status labels can be edited from within My Work, because the items in My Work are collected from different boards, the change in status will only apply to the specific item from that connected board, and not to all status columns displayed in My Work.

Please note: My Work uses the selected date columns to arrange your items in chronological order. If the correct date columns are not selected, you may not see your upcoming items in the correct section of My Work.

Note: Viewers can view and customize the information in My Work, but they don’t have editing rights. For more information about user types, check out this article.
