The Projects widget is available to all users. Some cross-project views, such as the Workload planner, depend on your plan.
The Projects widget on the MeisterTask Home page gives you a centralized overview of the projects you care about most. Add projects to improve alignment and quickly monitor progress across your work.
For a broader view, open the Projects page to browse your full project list, or use a portfolio to monitor related projects together with the multi-project timeline and Workload planner.
Browse your projects on the Projects page
Your project list now lives on the Projects page (previously it appeared in the left sidebar). Use it to view and access all your projects in one place.
For each project, the list shows:
- Project name
- Last modified date
- The owning account
Private projects are indicated in the list so you can tell them apart at a glance.
You can also:
- Switch between list view and card view.
- Use the Recents and All tabs, along with your project groups, to move between sets of projects.
- Search to filter the list and find a specific project.
On the Projects page, projects can't be reordered manually. To find a specific project, use search to filter the list.
Switch to the classic Projects page
If you prefer the previous Projects page with your project list in the left sidebar, you can switch back to it:
- Open the Projects page.
- Select the ... menu next to the Projects title.
- Select Switch to classic view.
To return to the new page, select Switch to new view in the header.
Good to know
- Your choice is saved to your account, so it applies on every browser and device you sign in to.
- It only affects your own view. Your team members keep the view they have chosen.
- While you use the classic view, the Portfolios section isn't shown on the Projects page. Links to your existing portfolios keep working.
Please Note:
The classic view is available for a limited time while we work on feedback about the new Projects page.
Monitor projects together in a portfolio
The multi-project timeline and the Workload planner are now found inside a portfolio. Use the List/Timeline view switcher in the top-left corner of the portfolio to move between views.
Schedule projects in the multi-project timeline
Use the multi-project timeline to compare project schedules and understand how projects overlap over time.
Plan team capacity with the Workload planner
The Workload planner helps Account Admins plan and allocate work across multiple projects over time. Use it to identify overloaded team members and balance workload before issues arise.
Availability
The Workload planner is available on the Enterprise plan only and can be accessed by Account Admins.
Track project progress at a glance
The Projects widget highlights key metrics so you can quickly understand the status of your most important projects.
- Completion % – see how far along the project is.
- Open tasks – track how much work remains.
- Overdue tasks – instantly spot potential risks.
Each number is interactive: click a metric to open a pre-filtered report for that project. For example, clicking overdue tasks opens a report showing all overdue tasks in that project.
Choose which projects to display
Customize the Projects widget to focus on the projects that matter most to you.
- Go to your Home page in MeisterTask.
- Locate the Projects widget.
- Click Add projects and select the projects you want to display.
- To remove a project, click the X next to its name.
Tip
You can add both active and archived projects to your widget. Archived projects will still display completion % and other data.
