My work is a great way to see everything you and your team need to accomplish in a convenient, easy-to-use space. It works by showcasing all tasks across your monday.com account that have been assigned to you. Visualize all your work in one place and stay on top of your tasks with My work! 📆 

What is My work?

My work consolidates all your assigned tasks, allowing you to view them in one place. Rather than having to jump between boards and dashboards to check what's happening, My work centralizes this information for your convenience. You can also customize it to suit your needs. 🎊

How does it work?

Start using My work by clicking on the calendar checklist icon located in your left panel. When you hover over the icon, it will say "My work".

Here, you can track daily tasks assigned to you from all boards in your account. This means that to see items appear in My work, it is crucial that you have a People Column and are assigned to the items you wish to view. It is also important to set up a Status Column on your boards to indicate the progress of that item.

What information can I see?

The items and subitems in My work are formatted similarly to how they appear on your boards.

Your subitems will appear like the rest of your items with some key differences. In the "Board" section, you will see "Subitems of..." followed by the name of the board it is associated with. Additionally, you are able to see the original parent item it corresponds to by clicking on the subitem icon next to its name.

How do items appear?

Items are categorized into six sections, organized by date (or no date), and a number is listed next to each group indicating the number of items in that section.

Search for items in My work

If you're a little overwhelmed by the number of items you see in My work, you're not alone. Some items may not always be relevant, so we've added a keyword search bar to help you narrow down your results and easily find what you're looking for.

Hide done items

While My work is a great place to see everything in the entire account that has been assigned to you, you may find it more helpful to only view tasks you have yet to complete. For this reason, we've added a "Hide done items" option!

Click on the "Customize" button in the top-right corner, and select the checkbox next to "Hide done items."  My work will then filter out all items marked as “Done”, or with any other status label defined in the status column settings as completed.

Customize what you see in My work

From choosing which boards appear to the specific people and columns that are showcased, you can customize your My work settings based on your preferences. To open the customization settings menu, click the "Customize" icon and choose the boards, columns, and people you'd like to see.  

You can select which assigned items you want to appear in My work. Choose yourself or any of the team members or guests associated with your account.

You can choose to display or hide items from certain boards in your account! By default, all account boards are visible in My work. To hide a board, just click the blue box to the right of the board's name.  

If any of your boards have more than one Status or Date Column, you can use the drop-down menu to select which ones you'd like to see in My work for each board. If any of your boards have only one Status or Date Column, it will be automatically selected by default. 

While it is possible to edit status labels from within My work, since the items in My work are gathered from different boards, the status change will apply only to the specific item from a particular connected board, and not to all the status columns shown in My work. 

My work views 

Wanting to narrow down on specific details on your My work page? There are different viewing options that can be accessed from the top of your page by clicking the dropdown arrow next to the search bar. From here, you can choose to view your My work page by date, status, priority, board, or single list. 

You can also toggle to the Calendar view by clicking on the second tab next to "Table" at the top of your page. Here, you will be able to view your items within a calendar view and edit items by clicking on them.

Add items directly to My work

For efficiency and ease, you can add items directly from your My work page. To add an item, click on the "New item" button at the top left-hand corner of the page. From here, you can name your item, select the board and group to which you want to add the item, and specify the date for the item. 

Edit items without leaving My work 

There's no need to maneuver back and forth between My work and your boards to edit items! You can edit items straight from My work by clicking any of the sections to make changes or by clicking the item's name to open the Item Card! You can edit anything right from the Item Card, including Updates, and changes will be automatically reflected on the board.
