Looks like they have started rolling it out on mobile to new users - https://support.monday.com/hc/en-us/articles/360019159959-Mobile-App-My-Work - though won’t be that useful until you can filter by status etc
Can’t wait to try My Work!!!
I’m looking at the little you can see at MyWork so far and it’s of course hard to tell what it will bring, but I have a feeling it wont be what we’re looking for.
I think what we want could be a quite simple solution, based on mondays already working functions: The search and automations!
What we need is to create an OverView, “trello-style”, where monday constantly put in tasks that match a certain search-combination, from EVERY board on monday.
For example, I want to create a Company OverView to begin with, gathering all tasks with the status: “Working on it”. I want to collect them all in a kolumn titled “working on it”. I want all tasks from a board with the status “working on it” to be together, group by group, before task from the next board starts.
The next column I want to do the same thing but get tasks with the status: “Waiting for customer”. And so on and so on…
Later, I would like to create a new OverView, but a personal one. The same layout and structure but also add that I only want the status “working on it” if “Micke” is assigned to the task.
I’ve created a simple layout to somewhat show my idea, very basic, but I personally do not need much more.

I’m not quite sure I follow you Micke. Is that a widget that you are customising? If there is a way of creating a series of columns based on work assigned to me from all the boards where they are grouped together by date that would be great. But I can’t see which widget that is?
However I did get in touch with monday and they have enabled My Work as a beta test through labs, and its woth looking at, but they have done some weird things. Currently work is grouped by when it was assigned to you, rather then when the due date is… which seems weird? But it does seem to have pulled in all the work from across all the boards.
I don’t know about anyone else but I’d want to be able to view tasks in the following groups by:
Overdue
Today
This week
Future
No date
(and maybe Done)
The filters are potentially good but it needs to be possible to filter for all boards simultaneously. Basically so I can filter out done tasks globally.
And I would love a thing to be able to add a new task from that page.

This is a mockup from InDesign how I visualize the OverView-board that I’m talking about.
I don’t know if it should be a widget, or what a widget is in this context.
What’s important for us is that we can decide ourselfs for what content we fill every column with.
Agreed. I cannot think of a use case for that scenario. Very odd.
When would Date Assigned ever be useful? Surely most users will want it sorted by Due Date? We certainly would.
Seconded. Grouped by date assigned is strange.
I also noticed that this thread is set to close after 7 days after last reply?
hi , i am been following this thread, and also plan to subscribe
since we have agree this is indeed important , but we do not have any exact plan from monday .
do you guys have better solution for this , like switching to other apps
or we just have to live with it ?
i am tired of switching apps with their shortcoming and left data when i switch again .
Did you see the posts earlier in this discussion about a new feature called My Work being slowly rolled out?
It’s mobile only at this stage. But Monday.com say that it’s coming to the browser and desktop app versions soon.
Hi everyone! I hope you’re all doing well.
Anybody can now test My Work, which is in beta 
If you’d like to test, you can activate the feature in your monday.labs section. This will activate the feature on a per-user basis—not on the account level.
We welcome any and all feedback on this feature. If you click on “Give feedback” on the top righthand corner of your screen, that will go to our product team for review 
We don’t have a specific timeline for the release of additional features or the full release yet, but we would love to hear what you think.

Thank you @TRB-monday.com . Will definitely provide feedback via the link.
Generally, finding it disappointing from a task management perspective. This has finally motivated our revaluating Monday.com use and looking at other systems, including Asana.

I would agree with DTCSC above. We didn’t find it useful as is.
Below is some initial feedback on this version:
-
The ability to change person / task owner is missing.
-
Assigned last week may not be relevant for some - saving that space to show more tasks would be a better use of space. Otherwise configurable to a relevant timeframe.
-
You can only see 3 or 4 tasks per page. Seeing at least 10 tasks would be the minimum to make it useful. 15 per page would be ideal.
I really appreciate your Company Overview idea. This would be ideal for us, too. Is it really not possible now? See how simple this Asana mobile view is for seeing your task list? Attached image. This is what I am hoping for. Simple and compact view. See every task and subtask with my name. Easy to scan.

MyWork has great potential, but it’s not quite what everyone needs yet. For now, many of our clients are using the Combined Boards app from the Marketplace to create a single view of everything, filtered down. It does have a small monthly cost. You can find it here: https://monday.com/marketplace/6
The pattern I use to solve this problem (at least on similar platforms – figuring it out on monday) is to treat it like a database and have two primary boards: projects and milestones. Most work is done from the milestone view, relying on filtered views to see e.g. “all my milestones” or “all milestones related to project x” or “all my milestones related to project x”.
To reiterate: every project is on the same board. Every milestone is on the same board. Link milestones to projects with Connect boards. Use filters and sorts to get at a particular slice (owner, project, date, status etc.).
There are problems with it, including getting people to understand what’s going on, but it works better for me.
The new MyWork feature is disappointing. Agree with others who say sorting by when a task was assigned is confusing.
Took me a while to realize you have to save filter settings for each board. Though I get that information across boards can be wildly different, I think there has to be some way to deliver more clarity and structure with a common set of filters and columns for the MyWork space, or else it doesn’t serve its purpose for most people.
And I personally would love some way for project managers (or myself) to either flag items that warrant special attention (important, priority, etc.) or maybe a “notes” area to jot down comments about what I’m focused on or don’t want to forget.
