Space and Board Information #
At the top of the dashboard, you’ll see the names of the Space and Board where the item currently resides.
Clicking these names opens a Copy & Move menu. This allows you to move the item to another location directly from the dashboard, without navigating to the Work Panel. The dropdown lists all Item Groups within the board for quick selection.
Item Name Field #
The item’s name appears below the Space and Board section. This is an editable field, meaning you can click on it to rename the item instantly without going to its original location in the Work Panel.
Time and Effort Details #
This section summarizes all time-related data associated with the item. It includes:
- Duration – Displays the total duration in days since the item was started by the assigner.
- Effort – Shows the total hours of work logged by the assigner(s).
- Assignment – Displays avatars of both the assigner and assignee, along with the time spent by the assignee today and in total.
These metrics help track item progress and individual contributions in real time.

- Assignee – The avatar of the person currently assigned to the task.
- Start Date – The date when the item was started by the assignee, including the total duration since then.

To change or assign a new assignee, click the assignee avatar. This opens the Worker Selector, allowing you to set or modify assignments easily.
