Let’s go over all the ways you can view your task below!

The Quick Task Dashboard: Groups By Task

On the Desktop there are default groups of tasks, giving you the ability to manage both your own tasks and the task you created for others.

These groups are: Tasks Created By Me, My Tasks, All Tasked, and Archived.

View By Status

Another great way to view your tasks is to view them by their completion status.

In order to view tasks by status, simply click the status you wish to sort by at the top of the task list. You can sort by Tasks in Total, Open tasks, and Done tasks. Each view tells you how many tasks you have in each category.

If you select open tasks or done tasks your task view will only contain tasks with either the status open or the status done. Notice in the example below I have set the status to be done tasks and I only see tasks with the status done.
