Project settings and Pinned items

Do you have important links that are related to the project in any way? In project detail there is a section  called Pinned items, where you can add information and assignments you want to have well visible.

You can refer to important tasks, team rules, external document cloud or project note. Just share URL address.

What can you setup for other users?

  • Add Pinned items
  • Rows or column project view
  • Show/hide some project sections and order them
    • To-Do lists
    • Pinned items
    • Notes
    • Discussions
    • Last project activity
    • Files
    • Users

Project views

Go to Project settings. If you are the project owner or admin, you can set the row or column view for other users. If you are the invited user, you can set the view for yourself only.

In case you use the methodology Inbox, In progress, Check, Done etc. we would definitely recommend to switch the view to kanban board/column view.

Project sections

In project detail are all its sections are shown by default. The sections are:

  • To-Do lists
  • Pinned items
  • Notes
  • Discussions
  • Last project activity
  • Files
  • Users

And again, in case you are the project owner or admin, you can set the section view and listing for other users. If you are the invited user, you can set the view for yourself only.

You can set the view for you and the others differently. It is great when you want to see the last project activities/discussions as the Project Manager. The other sections are not as important for other users.

List the sections via drag & drop and confirm.

This is how you set the project sections for one project.
