Overview
The Work Hub is a central hub for managing and tracking the progress of a project. It includes a toolbar with various View Options, which are different ways of viewing and tracking the project. These View Options consist of Board View, Dependency View, Timeline View, and List View. These options provide different perspectives on the project, allowing you to view and track the project in the way that best suits your needs and preferences.
Board View
It is a visual representation of the project, which shows the progress of each task in the project. This view is useful for getting a high-level overview of the project and seeing how tasks are moving through the workflow.

List View
The List View provides a clear and concise representation of the cards, allowing team members to understand their cards and what needs to be done quickly. It displays the cards in a linear format and provides detailed information about the cards including their priority, estimated effort, actual effort, remaining effort, status, etc. This view makes it easier for team members to track their progress and identify any roadblocks.
The toolbar has features to switch between the Board and List views, Add cards, and Filter cards. Use More to refresh the list. The list has one tab for each card type, with the number of cards in brackets, and the default tab is All Cards. The All Cards tab shows all cards on the board and displays only the ID and Name. Select a card type tab, such as User Story or Defect, to see all the fields of that card type. By having all card types in a single view, team members can easily understand the status and progress of multiple cards.
Also, it can view the sum or average value for the Number, Currency, and Percentage columns. To view this information, simply click on the “More Options” button in the Estimated Efforts column (or any other relevant column) and select either “Sum” or “Average” depending on your needs. This feature allows you to quickly see the total or average value for a particular column across all workitems in an Epic card type.
Notes:
The List View of the Work Hub will have the same column fields as available in the respective workitem listing.
- The list shows only the cards that are on the Board. Cards in the backlog don’t appear.
- Closed cards appear greyed out with a lock icon.
- Click the three-dot icon on a column header to sort the column (Sort by ASC or Sort by DESC), pin it (Pin to left or Pin to right), or open Filter. In Filter, select the values to show and click APPLY.
- Click a card ID to open the card details.
Editing Cards in the List View
In the List view, you can edit card details directly in the grid without opening each card. Each change is saved as soon as you finish editing the cell, so you do not have to save every card separately.
Modifying a Workitem To modify a workitem, follow these steps:
- Open the card type tab, such as User Story, that has the card you want to change.
- Double-click the cell you want to change. The cell becomes editable.
- Make the change in the field, just like you would in a spreadsheet.
- Press the Enter key or click elsewhere to save the change.
- A checkmark appears next to the workitem’s ID, indicating that the change has been saved.
Note: Closed cards, which appear greyed out with a lock icon, cannot be edited in the list.
For example, let’s say you want to change the Priority of workitem UST34 to Medium. Here’s how you can do it:
- Double-click the Priority cell of the UST34 workitem.
- A drop-down menu appears, showing the available priority options. Select Medium as the new priority value.
- Press the Enter key or click elsewhere to save the change. A checkmark appears next to the ID.
Timeline View
Timeline View gives a visualization of your initiatives’ progress at a glance on the board. It helps you to see which workitem is planned for what duration, and how it’s progressing. Also, based on the current pace of the workitem’s progress, it shows the potential slippage in its completion so that you can take necessary actions on time.

Dependency View
The Dependency View on the Work Hub allows you to track all of the work items that are dependent on each other within a project. Unlike the dependency view of a card, the dependency view in the Work Hub helps you see all the workitem’s dependencies collectively. This can help understand how different workitems are related and identify potential bottlenecks or challenges in the project.
Note:
- You can hide/unhide the Dependency View from the Work Hub as per your choice by enabling the toggle Show Dependency View under the More Options.
- The Dependency View is only available for software templates.
