In the Inbox widget, you can display
all the work-related items that you can access. You can change the
list of items that is displayed, and filter the items to display only
the items that are currently of interest to you.
About this task
The way in which you filter the items in your inbox depends
on whether they are displayed as a list or in a table.
Procedure
- To change the items that you see in your inbox, perform
one of the following actions.
- To display other work-related items that you are authorized
to view or work with, use the leftmost menu in the menu bar to select
a different list of items.
- To display items for which you have special authorization,
for example, your work, the items that you created, or the items that
you can manage, use the second menu in the menu bar to select a different
filter.
- To
filter the displayed items, select the property that you want to filter
by.
- If your items are displayed
in a table, move the mouse to the column header for the property that
you want to filter by, and click the Set Filter icon
that appears to the left of the column header.
- If your items are displayed in a list, use
the Set Filter box to select the property you
want to filter by.
- For the property that you selected, specify filter criteria
that are appropriate for the property type.
- Click
the Set Filter icon to display the items that
match the specified criteria. The filter criteria are displayed above
the list with two icons:
- Click the Pin icon to save the filter for
the current list, the icon changes to indicate that it has been saved.
Click the icon again to remove the filter from the list of filters.
- Click the Eraser icon to display the current
list without the filter.
If you
save the filter, it is added to the first list in the actions bar
for the current task list.
When you clear the saved filter, it is removed from the list of saved
filters. All of your saved filters are lost when you log off.
- You
can restrict the filtering further by selecting and specifying filter
criteria for one or more other properties. The new filter criteria
are added to the existing criteria shown in the actions bar of the
widget.
Tip: If the
items are grouped by owner and displayed using the My team's
work filter, the group header for each group shows a workload
indicator. If you are authorized to do so, you can use the workload
indicator to determine the owner's workload for the displayed
items.
