Projects Dashboard

In Motion.io, the Projects Dashboard provides your team with a quick way to access the status, activity, and other important information about each project you manage in one centralized view.

This article will explain what information is accessible from the Projects Dashboard and how to use filters and bulk actions to manage projects more efficiently at scale.

Using the Projects Dashboard

To access the Projects Dashboard, click "Projects" from the sidebar on the left side of your Motion.io account. When you open the Projects Dashboard, by default, you will see all active projects in your account.

The red badges in each project's "Activity" column tell you how much new activity happened since you last accessed that project. Clicking an activity badge will bring up the activity feed for that project.

Clicking on a project's title from the dashboard will bring you to its dashboard page, and the new activity notification badge will be automatically cleared.

The "Tasks" column in the Projects Dashboard displays a progress bar, with blue indicating the number of completed tasks and red indicating overdue tasks. Hovering over the red section of the progress bar will give you insight into which specific tasks in the project are overdue.

Clicking the three dots on the right side of any project in the dashboard opens a dropdown menu that allows you to perform actions on that specific project.

Using Filters

The filters on the left side of the Projects Dashboard allow you to quickly isolate groups of projects based on task status, project status, tags, projects, and project stages.

In the Projects Dashboard, you can utilize any combination of the five different filter categories to access the insights you are looking for.

Clicking the "clear" option above a filter category will remove the filter for that specific category while keeping any other filters you've set up active.

Using Project Bulk Actions

Using the "Bulk Actions" dropdown in the upper right corner of the Projects Dashboard, you can perform actions on multiple projects simultaneously without opening each project individually. To perform bulk actions from the Project Dashboard, click the checkbox next to one or more projects and then "Bulk Actions."

When used in combination with one or more filters, Bulk Actions can be especially powerful, as they let you do things like:

• Apply a tag to all projects with overdue tasks and remove it when those tasks are no longer overdue
• Add a new team member to all projects where you applied a specific tag
• Set the status for a group of projects to "Completed" when all tasks and stages are complete
