What are tile options in the Work Panel?

✨ Introduction #

Tiles are the compact blocks you click inside each group/column of the Work Panel’s three subpanels—Spaces, Boards, and Items. Every tile opens an options pill with quick actions and a hamburger icon for more controls, so you can manage work right where it lives.

📦 What is a Tile #

A tile represents a single work object—such as a Space, a Board, or an Item—within the Work Panel’s hierarchy. Each tile visually displays its name, avatar, and quick-access icons that open its options pill.

• In the Spaces subpanel, each tile represents a Space within a Space Group.

• In the Boards subpanel, each tile represents a Board inside a Board Group of a Space.

• In the Items subpanel, each tile represents an individual task or Item inside an Item Group of a Board.

Tiles act as interactive cards that let you perform actions like chatting, editing, exporting, or closing work—all without leaving the Work Panel.

🎯 Why This Feature Matters #

Tile options bring the most-used actions to your fingertips, cutting down clicks and context-switching.

• They let you chat, take notes, move, and delete without leaving the panel.
• They standardize controls across Spaces, Boards, and Items, so actions feel familiar everywhere.
• They expose advanced tools (membership, exports, avatars, task controls) via one consistent menu.

Together, these benefits keep teams moving faster while staying in the flow of work.

📄 Feature Overview #

Clicking any Space, Board, or Item tile opens an options pill with quick actions like Conversation, Notes, Copy & Move, and Delete. A hamburger icon on the pill reveals additional, context-aware options such as Membership, Edit avatar, and Export tools. While options are largely consistent across objects, Items include task controls unique to assignments and status.

✅ Items — Tile Options #

Item tiles include everything you expect—and add task controls tied to assignment and status.

• Hamburger icon: Opens more Item actions.

• • Membership: Opens the worker selector in the right panel to modify Item membership.
  • Task resume (assignee only): Resumes the task.
  • Task start (assignee only): Pauses any current task and starts this Item’s task.

  • End assignment (shows on assigned items): Ends the current assignment for the assignee.
  • Close item (shows only on open items): Closes the Item and moves it to the closed Item Group/column.
  • Get link: Copies a direct link to the Item; opening it locates the Item in Work Panel and opens its conversation on the right.

• Conversation: Opens the Item-level conversation in the right panel.

These Item controls help assignees and leads act quickly on real task flow—start, finish, close, share, and report—without losing momentum.
