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.

Tasks Included in My Tasks

Tasks shown in My Tasks can belong to a project or exist as personal tasks that are not tied to any project.

By default, My Tasks is sorted by date. You can change the sorting order using Quire’s sorting options, either:

• By project first, then by date

My Tasks includes:
