My Tasks in Quire Permalink

My Tasks is a default task view in Quire that brings together all the tasks you need to focus on—across projects, organizations, and personal work—into one centralized list.

It helps you stay organized by showing only tasks relevant to you, without needing to switch between projects.

Tip: You can reorder sections in the sidebar (including My Tasks) by dragging and dropping them into your preferred order.

Note: My Tasks is available only in Tree, Table, Timeline, Calendar, and Time Tracker views.
