Outstanding tasks are the ones that aren't complete yet. A project's List, Board, Gantt and Calendar views already show only those: they come with an All outstanding filter, shown as a chip next to Filter. My Tasks and All Tasks start with it too.

If you've removed the filter, or you're working in a view without it, add it back in a few clicks.

Show only outstanding tasks

  1. Open the project, My Tasks or Projects › All Tasks, and choose a view.

  2. Click Filter on the toolbar.

  3. Under Quick filters, click All outstanding, then click Apply.
    The All outstanding chip appears next to Filter, and completed tasks disappear from the view.

A task counts as complete when its status is a complete status. New accounts have one: Complete. If you use custom task statuses, every status marked is a Complete state counts, for every task type. An Administrator sets this in Settings › Project Management Settings.

See completed tasks again

Click the × on the All outstanding chip. To see only completed tasks, add a Status filter set to Complete (any type). On All Tasks, the Completed quick filter does this in one click.

The view now has unsaved changes. Click Update to keep them, or Save as New to make a separate view. See custom views.

Narrow it down further

The same Quick filters list has:

  • Assigned to me (on a project and on All Tasks).
  • Due this week and Overdue.
  • Hide subtasks, to show top-level tasks only.

Filters combine, so All outstanding with Overdue shows the late work. For other fields, such as priority, tags or task type, click + Add filter.

Outstanding work across projects

  • All Tasks lists the outstanding tasks in all your active projects, with subtasks hidden.
  • My Tasks lists the outstanding tasks assigned to you.
  • The Task Summary widget on a project's Summary view counts its tasks by status, including how many are overdue. Add it with Add Widget if it isn't there. See the task summary widget.
