# Workboard

The Workboard in WalnutAI acts as your personal task management dashboard, like a to-do list. It provides a consolidated view of all items assigned to you across multiple modules, helping you stay organized and focused on your priorities.

Assigned items displayed on your Workboard may include Tasks, User Stories, Defects, and Execution Plans. The Workboard enables you to efficiently track and manage your responsibilities within the selected project, ensuring nothing falls through the cracks.

**Key Features**

**View Assigned Items**

Your Workboard displays all work items assigned to you, organized by item type (Task, User Story, Defect, Execution Plan, etc.). Each item card shows key details at a glance, including:

* **Title:** The name of the work item
* **Status:** Current progress (such as To Do, In Progress, or Done)
* **Due Date:** Deadline for completion (if applicable)
* **Priority:** Urgency level of the item

This quick-reference view helps you understand your workload and identify urgent items without opening each task individually.

**Status Updates**

You can update the status of work items directly from the Workboard without navigating away to detailed views. Status changes can be made easily using drag-and-drop functionality, allowing quick updates and smooth progress tracking. Simply drag an item card to a different status column to update its current state, and the change is reflected immediately across the platform.

**AI-Powered Insights**&#x20;

Based on your workboard, WalnutAI provides a real-time overview of task progress and priority distribution across all items. It summarizes key metrics such as overall completion rate, the number of high-priority items requiring attention, and the current status of ongoing work. This section helps users quickly assess whether tasks are on track, identify any critical gaps or delays, and understand where focus is needed.

**How to Use Workboard**

Navigate to Workboard from the left-hand panel in the main navigation. By default, all items assigned to you are displayed, giving you a complete view of your current responsibilities.

Track progress or update item status directly by clicking on any item card to view details or by dragging cards between status columns to reflect progress. Use the Workboard daily as part of your workflow to stay informed about pending tasks, upcoming deadlines, and shifting priorities.

**Benefits of Using Workboard**

The Workboard provides a centralized view of all assigned work, eliminating the need to search across multiple modules or screens to find your tasks. This consolidation improves personal productivity by reducing context-switching and keeping your focus on execution.

You gain real-time visibility into work status, allowing you to quickly assess what's complete, what's in progress, and what's waiting to start. The Workboard also provides quick access to item details and updates, enabling you to respond rapidly to changing priorities or team requests without losing momentum.
