Customize your work experience with Home Dashboards

As part of our recent UI updates, we’ve taken the opportunity to make your entry point into Teamwork.com even more customizable. 

Meet Home Dashboards, your new personalized place to start every time you log into the platform.

You’ve probably noticed that My Work now has its own dedicated spot in the side navigation, so it’s always a click away and separate from the Home area. 

That means Home is now built around dashboards: customizable collections of widgets that surface exactly what data and information matters to you. Instead of one fixed view for everyone, you get to build the view that fits how you actually work. (Home isn't replacing My Work—you can always start in Home to see what needs your attention across projects, teams, and priorities. Then head into My Work or a specific project when it's time to actually do the work.)

Dashboards that match your priorities 

You can add widgets for tasks and activity, logged time, project health, risks, revenue and invoicing, or even your own notes. From there, you can arrange them in whatever order makes sense to you.

The widget library itself is organized into categories: Projects, Time, Revenue & Invoicing, and more. Plus, it’s searchable, so finding the exact widget you want takes seconds without the scrolling.

You're not limited to one dashboard, either. Whether you're a project manager who also needs to keep an eye on profitability, or an individual contributor who wants to keep a pulse on project health, you can build a dashboard for each. Create as many as you need—one for personal work, one for project delivery, maybe a "Daily kickoff" dashboard just for the handful of widgets you check before your first meeting—and switch between the multiple tabs as needed. And you can always rename, duplicate, or delete any dashboard whenever your needs change.

Built for how you work, not just what you do

Depending on your role, your Home area comes with default widgets. After all, what an individual contributor needs to start the day looks different than what a project manager or operations manager needs. An operations manager, for instance, lands on a profitability widget by default. An individual contributor gets their tasks, logged time for the week so far, and unread comments—AKA the stuff that often needs a response before 9:30am.

Of course, these are just starting points to help you get up and running. Every widget can be removed, resized, rearranged, or replaced. You could even duplicate one to track two versions of the same thing. Or even filter another down to exactly the slice you care about. Remember, Home is supposed to look like your work, not a template.

Take the Tasks widget, one of the most flexible in the library. It's split into tabs (Late, Today, Upcoming, No Date, Completed) so you can jump straight to what needs attention. Prefer one long list instead? You can always toggle off the tabbed view and see everything flat.

Don’t just view your data—act on it

The widgets within the Home area aren't just static tiles. Most are interactive and clickable: you can open a task straight from its widget, drill into a chart to see the details behind the numbers, or log time and add notes without ever leaving your spot.

Sure, a high-level report that indicates something is off-track is a good starting point. But adding to that a zoomed-in picture that helps you drill down into details to uncover exactly what’s going wrong is even better. Luckily, Home Dashboards accomplishes both goals in one comprehensive view.

Getting started with Home Dashboards 

  1. Navigate to Home in the left-hand sidebar.

  2. Explore your default widgets—move, resize, filter, or remove anything that isn't working for you.

  3. Select the + next to your dashboard tabs to build a new dashboard for a different project, role, or workflow.

  4. Select Add widget to browse the widget library and build it out.
