In the upper section of the view, the processing status of all your (sub-) tasks (status) is displayed:
- "All Tasks": How many tasks are left to do in total?
- "Doing": How many tasks are currently being worked on? (All tasks with the status "Doing")
- "Done": How many tasks have already been labeled as completed?
(All tasks with the status "Done")
- "All Subtasks": What is the total number of subtasks left to complete?
By clicking the respective number / name you will automatically be forwarded to the reports, in which all tasks of the respective area are shown. The reports can be exported and printed. Alternatively, you can also show the subtasks via the tasks area.
Processing status of all your tasks in "My Week"
The calendar bar directly below the task overview displays the current week (By default: Monday to Sunday*). Usually, events and tasks from today are always displayed below, but you can also select other days or an entire calendar week (CW) in the calendar bar. To select from earlier or later time frames, click the arrow buttons or the calendar icon.

A detailed list of filters for the selected time is located on the right in the lower area. Among others, the following elements are displayed in it:
- Upcoming events, tasks and subtasks
- Files being edited locally (when using the desktop app)
- Drafts of pages
- Notifications
The respective categories are only visible if they actually include an entry. By using the filters (e.g. mentions) on the right side, the list can be further narrowed to only display what is really relevant. With a click on the entries, they can be opened and edited. If a task is overdue, it will continue to be displayed in the list on subsequent days.
You also have the option to favorite your filters and display them under the “My week” tab in the sidebar.
*By default, the calendar bar starts on Mondays, however, you can change that at any time within the Profile tab of your user account settings (setting: "First Weekday").

"My Week": Member perspective
It can be helpful for teamwork to have a detailed task and event overview of those people with whom you work closely. Hereby, for example, it is always apparent whether the number of open tasks of a person in the team is out of proportion and whether there is a need for adjustment.
Note: If this function is available to you, a more button (symbol: down arrow) is displayed next to your name in My Week.
