New planning tools in Worksection 2.0: dashboards, saved display modes, daily plan, and open tabs

Con­stant­ly switch­ing between tasks may seem triv­ial, but it actu­al­ly eats” a sig­nif­i­cant por­tion of work time imper­cep­ti­bly. Research from the Amer­i­can Psy­cho­log­i­cal Asso­ci­a­tion shows that this can cost up to 40% of pro­duc­tiv­i­ty — and over the course of a week, it turns into near­ly a full lost workday.

In Work­sec­tion 2.0, we have gath­ered tools to help reduce these loss­es. Dash­boards and saved views elim­i­nate the need to con­stant­ly search for and con­fig­ure infor­ma­tion again. The dai­ly plan and tab pan­el help main­tain focus on what is impor­tant right now. Next, we will show how this works in dai­ly operations.

Cus­tom Dash­board 2.0

To under­stand what is hap­pen­ing in projects, one pre­vi­ous­ly had to open sev­er­al sec­tions and gath­er the pic­ture man­u­al­ly. In Work­sec­tion 2.0, the main page has become a sin­gle dash­board that can be cus­tomized to fit your role and work style.

It con­sists of wid­gets — sep­a­rate blocks with key data: tasks, team activ­i­ty, project progress, chats, events. You shape this pan­el your­self: add what you need, remove the extra, and arrange every­thing as it is con­ve­nient for you.

In fact, each dash­board is an indi­vid­ual work­space that imme­di­ate­ly shows the essentials.

How It Looks in Practice:

  • Add, delete, and move wid­gets. Cus­tomize your own pan­el so that all key infor­ma­tion is always at hand.
  • Clone and hide wid­gets. Cre­ate sev­er­al copies of a wid­get with dif­fer­ent fil­ters or hide unnec­es­sary ones — the dash­board adapts to your work­ing style.
  • Ana­lyze data in real-time. Team activ­i­ty, task dis­tri­b­u­tion, project progress — every­thing updates auto­mat­i­cal­ly with­out reload­ing the page.
  • Col­or cod­ing of impor­tant infor­ma­tion. The pri­or­i­ty wid­get marks tasks by urgency — it’s imme­di­ate­ly clear what needs attention.
  • Dive into details. Inter­ac­tive graphs, visu­al dia­grams for agile teams, task data, and activ­i­ty of each participant.
  • Use from any device. Dash­boards are adapt­ed for smart­phones, lap­tops, or large monitors.
Every­one cus­tomizes the dash­board to their role. Man­agers see key project met­rics, team leads mon­i­tor progress and work­load, and execu­tors see their tasks and dead­lines. Every­thing on one screen, with­out switch­ing between sections.

Dai­ly Plan

The dai­ly plan in Work­sec­tion 2.0 helps gath­er all tasks for the day in one place and imme­di­ate­ly under­stand where to start. You see not just a list, but also time esti­mates — mak­ing it eas­i­er to dis­trib­ute the work­load and not take on more than you can real­is­ti­cal­ly accomplish.

Per­son­al Plan­ner Features:

  • All tasks for the day in one win­dow — with time esti­mates for each task and a visu­al load scale.
  • Drag&Drop edit­ing — sim­ply drag and drop tasks to change the order and priorities.
  • View team work­load — man­agers see each par­tic­i­pan­t’s dai­ly plan to assess who can take on a new task.
If the day is over­loaded — it’s imme­di­ate­ly clear what should be post­poned. And if there’s a need to assign some­one an urgent task — the man­ag­er can see who has free slots and assigns it with­out extra questions.


Tray — Open Tabs Panel

When you are work­ing on sev­er­al tasks simul­ta­ne­ous­ly, it is easy to lose track of where you stopped. You opened a task, switched to a chat, then to anoth­er task — and it’s chal­leng­ing to remem­ber where you left off.

In Work­sec­tion 2.0, a tray has appeared — a bot­tom pan­el that stores min­i­mized tasks, chats, and the dai­ly plan win­dow. It allows you to:
  • Instant­ly switch between tasks, chats, and drafts.
  • Keep key tasks at hand with­out search­ing for them in lists.
  • Track progress and stay focused on priorities.
It is also use­ful for teamwork:
  • Par­tic­i­pant sta­tus­es — every­one can set their sta­tus, so col­leagues see it in the Peo­ple” wid­get and par­tic­i­pant card.
  • Chats in the tray — min­i­mize an active chat to the bot­tom pan­el and return to it with one click.
  • Change noti­fi­ca­tions — updates on your active tasks come automatically.
The pan­el is always on the screen, so you can return to the nec­es­sary task or chat with one click. No need to search for it in the lists or remem­ber in which project it was.

Saved Views

Every­one has their own way of work­ing with tasks: some start with dead­lines, some with pri­or­i­ties, and oth­ers view tasks by assignees. And set­ting up fil­ters again and again takes time that could be spent on work.

Saved views solve this prob­lem. You cre­ate the desired task list view once — and return to it with one click. For example:
  • My tasks for today” — all tasks with dead­lines today and high priority.
  • Crit­i­cal bugs” — unre­solved issues with max­i­mum priority.
  • Team at Work” — active tasks for all sub­or­di­nate employees.

How It Works:

  • Cre­ate your fil­ters and save set­tings — columns, sort­ing, group­ing, and col­or codes remain as con­ve­nient for you.
  • Switch between fil­ters with one click — quick­ly change the work con­text with­out los­ing focus.
  • Track impor­tant mat­ters — tasks with dead­lines, pri­or­i­ties, and team progress.
  • Share with the team — send col­leagues a link to a saved view, and they will open the same table with the same filters.

Quick Start in 5 Minutes

The new tools do not require long set­up. For most teams, it lit­er­al­ly takes a few min­utes — with­out sep­a­rate setups for each scenario.

How to Quick­ly Start Work­ing with New Tools:

  1. Start with a ready set of wid­gets on the dash­board. The stan­dard set already con­tains blocks with key indi­ca­tors — mod­i­fy, add, or remove to suit yourself.
  2. Cus­tomize wid­gets to your­self. Arrange ele­ments so that the pan­el shows exact­ly what is impor­tant for your work.
  3. Cre­ate and save task views. Use fil­ters to see only rel­e­vant tasks in sec­onds and set clear priorities.
  4. Set up the dai­ly plan. Sched­ule tasks for the cur­rent day, dis­trib­ute them in the time­line — and you will imme­di­ate­ly see whether your plan for today is realistic.
  5. Use the task tab tray. Min­i­mize your cur­rent tasks and active chats to the bot­tom pan­el — and switch between them with one click.
Just a few steps — and your work­space is ready. From then on, every­thing works as you set it up and does not require repeat­ed actions.

How New Tools Help Teamwork

When every­one in the team works dif­fer­ent­ly, it is hard to see the big pic­ture. Some man­age tasks in spread­sheets, some on the task board, and some rely sole­ly on chats. Tools Work­sec­tion 2.0 pro­vide every­one the free­dom to cus­tomize their work­space — but main­tain a uni­fied struc­ture for collaboration.

What This Gives the Team as a Whole:

  • Few­er ques­tions like what about that project?” — tasks, dead­lines, and progress are vis­i­ble at once, the team syn­chro­nizes through the sys­tem, not through meetings.
  • Quick­er deci­sions — the man­ag­er opens the dash­board and sees the whole pic­ture in a minute: who is occu­pied, what is urgent, where are the risks.
  • Less micro­man­age­ment — when every­one sees their plan and pri­or­i­ties, there is less need to remind and man­u­al­ly control.
  • Works for any for­mat — dis­trib­uted team, hybrid sched­ule, or ful­ly office-based mod­el — Work­sec­tion is equal­ly con­ve­nient in every scenario.

Work­sec­tion 2.0 — Plan­ning with­out Extra Steps

In Work­sec­tion 2.0, we did not change the approach to work — we sim­pli­fied what you are already doing every day. Dash­boards, dai­ly plans, saved views, and tab pan­els help find what you need faster, keep the con­text, and spend less time on routine.

As a result, sim­ple tasks take less time: review­ing tasks, set­ting pri­or­i­ties, check­ing the project sta­tus, or under­stand­ing who is cur­rent­ly over­loaded. With­out con­stant tran­si­tions between sec­tions and with­out man­u­al­ly gath­er­ing” the picture.
