Tasks and My tasks

Tasks in Atwork are ordinary records with the fields that make them tasks: someone assigned, a due date, and a status.

What makes a task sheet

A sheet becomes a task list when its records carry:

• An assignee — an Employee field, so the work belongs to a person rather than a name typed in text.
• A due date — a Date field, which is also what calendar and Gantt views run on.
• A status — so a board can group by it and everyone can see what is moving.

Use the proper field types. An assignee typed as text cannot be filtered to "mine", and a date stored as text cannot appear on a calendar.

My tasks

My tasks in the sidebar gathers work assigned to you from every sheet in every space, so you do not have to remember where things live. One place to answer "what is on me?".

Working through the day

• Sort by due date; that turns a list into an order.
• Filter out anything already done.
• Open a record for detail, or edit it inline.
• Change status as you go — that is what makes everyone else's board accurate.

If your work is not showing up

• Are you the assignee? Being mentioned in a comment is not the same as being assigned.
• Is the assignee an Employee field? A text field with your name in it cannot be gathered.
• Can you see the space? Work in a space you are not a member of stays invisible — see Why can't my teammate see a sheet?.
