Filtering your work on mobile
Article Content
The mobile work list shows every workflow run for every team you belong to, on the date you're viewing. If you only care about one or two teams — or if you want to skip work that spilled over from yesterday — you can filter the list.
Why filter your work list
By default, every team you're a member of shows up in your work list. That's useful when you cover several teams, but it can get noisy if you only work with one. Filtering lets you:
- Focus on your own team and hide everything else
- Hide work that started before today, so you only see what's actually starting on the date you're viewing
Your filters stay in place as you move around the app. They reset when you sign out.
Filter by team
The team filter is the most common one. You pick which teams should appear in the list, and everything else hides.
- On the Work Items screen, tap Menu on the floating action bar
- Tap Filter teams
- The Filter Work Teams screen opens with a list of your teams
- Tap a team to tick or untick it. Only ticked teams appear in your work list.
- To tick or untick everything at once, tap Select all or Deselect all at the top right
- Tap the back arrow when you're done
When you've turned some teams off, the title bar on the Work Items screen shows (filtered) next to the date so you don't forget the filter is on.
Hide work that started earlier
Some workflow runs span several days — they start on one date and finish on another. By default the work list shows you any run that's still active on the day you're viewing, even if it started earlier.
If you only want to see runs that actually start on the date you're viewing, use this toggle.
- Tap Menu on the floating action bar
- Find Only show work starting on this date
- Tap it to turn the toggle on. The icon changes to a ticked box. Tap again to turn it off.
When this is on, any run that started before the date you're looking at is hidden from the list.
Where filters apply
| Filter | What it changes |
|---|---|
| Filter teams | Hides every team you've unticked from the work list. |
| Only show work starting on this date | Hides runs that started on an earlier day. |
Both filters stay on until you change them or log out. They don't affect what other people see — they're personal to your device.
Tips
- If your work list looks emptier than expected, open the menu and check whether a team filter is on.
- The
(filtered)label next to the date is the quickest way to spot an active team filter. - The "starting on this date" toggle is great for managers — it stops long-running workflows cluttering up later days.
- The team list in the filter only shows teams you belong to. You can't filter to teams you're not part of.
