Home, My Work & Inbox
The three pages at the top of the sidebar answer three different questions:
| Page | The question it answers |
|---|---|
| Home | What has been happening in the workspace? |
| My Work | What is on my plate? |
| Inbox | What needs my attention? |
Home
Home is the workspace's pulse over a period you choose. Pick the period in the header: Last 24 hours, Last 7 days, Last 30 days, Last 90 days, Last month or Year to date. Everything on the page follows it.
| Block | What it shows |
|---|---|
| Counters | New, completed and active projects; new, shipped and in-progress tasks |
| Finished | The tasks and projects completed in the period |
| New | The work and documents that appeared in the period |
| Project health | Active projects with their health and progress, for example On track · 4 / 10 tasks · 40% |
| Recent Activity | The latest changes across the workspace, with who made each one. Load more goes further back |
Home shows everyone's work, not just yours. Work that belongs to a private team you are not on is left out: you see only what you are allowed to see.
If a block is empty for a short period, try a wider one. The page says so itself.
My Work
My Work is your own plate: the open tasks assigned to you, sorted into three lists.
| List | What lands there |
|---|---|
| In Progress | Tasks you have started |
| Up Next | Tasks that are yours but not started yet |
| Blocked | Tasks waiting on another task that is still open, whatever their own status |
A task appears in exactly one list. A blocked task goes to Blocked even if it was already in progress, because it cannot move until its blocker closes.
Each list has its own Sort: by Priority (the default, most urgent first), Created or Updated. From a row you can change the task's labels and priority or open its actions menu without leaving the page. Click the row to open the task.
Beside the tasks are the things that are yours in a wider sense:
- My Projects: the active projects you own.
- Team Projects: the other active projects, so you can see what is in flight around you.
- My Drafts: documents you started editing and have not published yet. Click one to return to it.
- Recent Activity: what you changed lately.
A list with nothing in it is hidden. If nothing is assigned to you at all, the page says so instead of showing empty lists.
Inbox
The Inbox collects what was addressed to you.
| Type | You get it when |
|---|---|
| Mentions | Someone @mentions you in a discussion, a task, a brainstorm or a channel |
| Replies | Someone replies to your message |
| Assignments | A task is assigned to you or taken from you, or you become or stop being the owner of a project |
| Updates | Something changes in a task or project you watch |
Each entry names who did it, where, and shows the beginning of the text. Click it to go there; that also marks it read. The Inbox item in the sidebar shows how many are unread.
In the header, All and Unread switch what is listed, Type narrows the list to one or several of the kinds above, and Mark all read clears the unread marks.
Watching a task or a project
Updates come only from what you watch. Open a task or a project and use the Watch control in its header to follow it, and the same control to stop. You can stop watching something even after you have lost access to it.
What does not go to the Inbox
Direct messages have their own place. Their unread counts live in the Direct Messages list of the sidebar, so the Inbox stays for mentions, replies, assignments and updates. See Channels & Messaging.
