The Overview Widget

2 min read

Feature

With this awesome widget, keeping track of your projects has never been easier! The Overview Widget gathers and summarizes the progress from your selected boards into one place on your dashboard. This is a great way to get a high-level picture of what's happening for each project and overall! 🤸‍♀️

Note: This feature is available only on our Pro and Enterprise plans

Add the widget

Click on "Add Widget" at the top of the Dashboard page to see the list of options and select "see more". From there, select "Overview" as shown below:

Select your boards

Next, you will be prompted to select the boards you want to showcase in your widget:

Note: The Overview Widget is based on the Timeline or Date Columns, and Status Columns, so you first need to input your dates and/or timelines and statuses into one or more of these columns before we can see the data displayed in the widget.

How to set it up

In the right panel, you can set up your Overview Widget with completely customizable settings. You can choose the status columns you'd like to include as well as dates or even specific groups.

How it works

Now that your widget is all set up, you can take a look at it to understand where you stand on all of your projects!

Each row in your Overview Widget represents one of your connected boards.
The "Name" column displays the name of your board
The "Dates" column displays the earliest and latest date in the timeline of each project!
The project's "Progress" is displayed as a battery-style bar showing you a visual representation of the project's overall progress. The white represents how many tasks are left to complete, and the blue represents tasks marked as "Done"
The "Status" column will show a label, which is automatically generated based on your project's status and deadlines! When you've completed all of your tasks, a green label will read "Completed". When you're "On track" with your tasks, a blue label will signal that you've completed most tasks by the deadline, and your project is advancing at a great pace! When you have approaching or past deadlines and a few tasks left to do, you'll see a yellow "At risk" label. When you aren't keeping up with several tasks, and the deadline are past or quickly approaching, you'll see a red "Behind schedule" warning label.
