*To find out what plan, license type, or access you have, contact your Workfront administrator.

Filter the Work List

You can filter items in the Work List to see only specific types of items. For example, you can filter the Work List to display only issues or requests.

1. Click the Main Menu in the upper-right corner, then click Home.

2. Click the Filter drop-down menu.

3. Select from the following filter options to specify the type of items you want to display:

   All	Displays and selects all items. This includes tasks, issues, approvals, personal tasks, and completed tasks and issues.
   Tasks Working On	Displays only tasks that you are actively working on. These are tasks assigned to you for which you have clicked the Work On It button.
   Tasks Ready to Start	Displays only tasks that are ready for you to start. Both of the following statements must be true: The tasks and their parents have no predecessors or task constraints preventing them from being worked on. The Planned Start Date of the tasks is in the past or up to two weeks in the future.
   Tasks Not Ready	Displays only tasks that are not yet ready to start. Either one of the following statements must be true: The tasks and their parents might have predecessors or task constraints that prevent them from being worked on. The tasks have a Planned Start Date that is more than two weeks in the future.
   Issues Working On	Displays only issues that you are actively working on. These are issues assigned to you for which you have clicked the Work On It button.
   Issues Requested	Displays only issues that you are assigned to but for which you have not clicked the Work On It button.
   Personal	Displays only personal tasks. These are tasks that you create as a To Do task, as described in the section Create a personal task in the article Create work items from the Home area.
   Approvals	Displays only approvals assigned or delegated to you and approvals you have submitted. Approvals include approvals on work items (projects, tasks, and issues), and approvals for documents, proofs, requests for access, and timesheets. For more information about approvals, see the following articles: View approvals Work approvals Note: Approvals that you submitted and where you are also one of the approvers are counted twice.
   Completed	Displays only completed tasks, issues, and personal tasks. Completed work displays for the previous two weeks and it is grouped in the Work List according to the week in which they were completed. Approvals are not included. Completed work is hidden in the Work List unless you select this filter.

   

   TIP

   • Filter options are based on objects (Tasks, Issues, Approvals, Personal tasks).
   • Tasks and issues are further filtered by their state in relationship with our readiness to work on them (Working On, Ready to Start, Not Ready for tasks, and Working On and Requested for issues). You can select to display tasks or issues in a specific state or click Tasks or Issues to select and display all states.
   • There is a separate filter for completed items and it includes both tasks and issues. This does not include approvals. The Completed filter includes Personal tasks.
   • You can select only one state at a time. For example, you can display only Working On tasks and only Requested issues.
   • You cannot apply filters for items assigned to one of your teams and they are not included in the items that are assigned directly to you.

4. (Optional) Further organize the Work List, as described in the section Group and sort by Date, Project, and Priority in this article.

Group and sort by Date, Project, and Priority

You can group and sort the Work List by Planned Completion Date, Commit Date, Project, or My Priority. The option you choose determines how items are grouped in the Work List.

2. Click the Group by drop-down menu.

   

3. Select from the following options:

Search the Work List

When you search the Work List, any items assigned to you are returned in the search (even items that are not currently loaded on the screen). If the Show complete option is selected, any items you marked complete within the past two weeks are also returned.

2. (Optional) Filter the Work List, as described in Filter the Work List and Group and sort by Date, Project, and Priority.

5. Begin typing the name of the item name you are searching for.
   The Work List is automatically filtered as to include items with a matching name.
