# Projects

A list of your active projects so you can quickly navigate to anything you are currently working on.

The Projects widget shows every project you are a member of that is considered active — meaning it has had time entries sync in recently or has work plans scheduled in the coming weeks. It is a quick reference view of your current project load without needing to navigate into the Portfolios Space.

### This is the best place to go when you want to:

-   See all the projects you are currently active on in one list
    
-   Quickly navigate into a specific project
    
-   Filter your project list down by portfolio, status, or phase
    
-   See which projects have the most recent activity
    
-   Review phase-level detail for a project without opening its full space

### What you see

The Projects widget on your Home Space shows a compact summary of your active projects with their name, reference number, and portfolio.

When you click into the full widget view:

-   Each project row expands to show **phases and sub-phases** with their status and date information
    
-   Users with elevated access see **activity bars** — green shows spent time in the last 6 weeks, yellow shows planned time in the next 2 weeks
    
-   A **filter icon** lets you narrow the list
    
-   A **floppy disk icon** saves your current filter so it persists the next time you log in

### What counts as "active"

A project appears in this widget if it meets either of these conditions:

-   It has had time entries sync in recently (spent time in approximately the last 30 days)
    
-   It has work plans scheduled in the next two weeks
    

Projects that do not meet either condition will not appear here, even if you are a member.

### How to filter the projects list

1.  Click the **filter icon** at the top of the projects view.
    
2.  Filter by portfolio, project status, phase, or other available attributes.
    
3.  Click the **floppy disk icon** to save the filter so it is applied automatically next time you open the widget.

### How to navigate to a project

Click the **three dots** next to any **project’s name** in the list to open that project's space directly. From there you can access the full schedule, tasks, notes, members, and budget (depending on your access level).

### Best practices

-   **Save a useful filter** — If you always want to see only projects in a specific portfolio or status, save that filter using the floppy disk icon so you do not have to re-apply it every session
    
-   **Use this for a quick daily check-in, not deep project management** — The full project schedule and phase management tools live inside each project's space. This widget is best for a fast overview and navigation.
    
-   **If a project is missing, check your membership** — If you expect to see a project here and it is not showing, it may not have any recent time entries or upcoming work plans, or you may not yet be listed as a member
