How to Set a Default View in Your Widgets

Want to save time and cut the clicks?

Setting a default view in your widgets helps you jump straight into what matters most every time you log in. Here's how you can make your workflow smoother in just a few seconds.

Use Case

Let’s say you always check your My Tasks widget filtered by “This Week.” Instead of selecting that time range manually every single time, you can make it your default view. The widget will open with that filter already applied — ready to go!

Steps to Set (or Unset) a Default View:

  1. Open the widget you want to customize:
    (On-Time Completion, My Activities, My Tasks, or Assigned by Me).

  2. Click the drop-down next to the time selection bar.
    (This is where you usually select filters like “Today,” “This Week,” etc.)

  3. Hover over your preferred view (e.g., “This Month”).

  4. Click the ⭐ star icon that appears next to it.
    The star will turn solid — this means your view is now saved as default.

  5. Want to switch it up?
    Just click the same star again to unselect it. Easy.
