Create a list view of all tasks I follow using the “Following” feature to add to a dashboard

I've recently learned about how to "Follow" tasks (as well as Projects and Folders) using the "Following" feature and proceeded to start following a number of tasks. I understand that I will be notified when a change is made to any of these tasks that I follow, however, it would be fantastic if I could create a list view of all tasks (and Projects and Folders) that I follow. I could then incorporate this list view onto my dashboard and use it to manage the Projects/Folder/Tasks that I follow.

Hi Ryan, thanks for posting this suggestion here!

Beat Z'graggen

That would really be helpful. I get notifications of many tasks I had to do with and like that I could decide from time to time what tasks/folders I don't want to get notifications from anymore.

Lauren Cooke

Yeah I would love just the ability to filter "Tasks I follow" either in List View or in a Dashboard widget. "My favorites" sort of does this, but it shows too much info.

Keir Johnson

Upvoting this.

In order to keep my dashboard and reports organized, I only add myself as an "assignee" if the task is something I'm responsible for. However, there are tasks that I still like to keep an eye on because I am collaborating on them. It would be awesome to be able to set up a widget in my dashboard with tasks that I am following so I can clearly see them there.

Thanks!

One limitation of having a dashboard view of followed task is that a secondary filter by name is not possible. If you are following 100+ tasks, to find a specific task requires manually searching through the entire list.

Thomas Bacon

Plus one on this.

Lutz Otto

That feature would be grate to keep the assignee-list free from people that only need to see the task in their overviews.

Pete Offerman

Not only do I personally agree with this suggestion and see significant value in such capability, I repeatedly get asked by other users within my organization how to easily identify all tasks they're following. I wish there was a +30 button...

@Pete Hi! I apologize for the delayed reply here, but I want to mention something in case it helps. It's different than seeing a view of all tasks you follow, but I personally find the option to star tasks really helpful. I use it for any tasks that I need to check back in on or that I need to do something for (even if I'm not the assignee). You can see all your starred tasks from Inbox or even from a Dashboard widget.

Thomas Jooss

That would really be helpful and a awesome feature!

Jake Livsey

I totally agree this would be helpful. I'm staying tuned to this ticket to hear if it ever gets added. Is there no way to do a search like this and add those search results as a widget?

Torsten Mühlhoff

A widget that lists all tasks that I follow AND where the responsible person is "different from myself"! This is important in the case that I create a task, assign someone else as being responsible and want to be up-to-date with this task.

Have we gotten to this report yet? As a PM, I'm responsible for overseeing many tasks in many different projects. If I could get a list of all of the tasks I'm following and the status's that would be very helpful.

Hi everyone, thanks for sharing your feedback here! I don't have an update to share with you at the moment, but I'll get back to you if/when I have news.

Melissa Merx

I am also interested in this ticket; please provide update

Michele Mason

Plus one - we would like to be able to filter what we are "following" to not include tasks assigned (which are automatically marked as "followed"). This is important for our cross-team functions and sharing in Wrike.

Marta Weinstein

There is a Dashboard widget named "Tasks I Follow" the description says it See a list of tasks you follow but are not assigned to". It doesn't work - it seems to put all the team's tasks regardless of who is assigned. Is this getting fixed??

Elizaveta Bogdanova

@Marta Hi, thanks for reaching out! Indeed, the widget doesn't fully work as expected at the moment, our Product team is aware of it; I'll get back to you here when I know more of the progress.

Jagoda Auger

@Elizaveta Bogdanova wondering if there has been an update on this?

Hi Jagoda, hope you don't mind me jumping in for Lisa here! As of now there are no updates in regards to this. I'll keep you posted when I have one.

Khody Azmoon

Is this functionality available?

Elizaveta Bogdanova

Hey @Khody Azmoon, welcome to the forums!

There's a dashboard widget "Tasks I follow" where you can see all tasks that you're following. At the moment, it also shows tasks where you're the assignee. I'm checking with the Product team on this and I'll let you know once I have an update.

Thanks for reaching out! 🙂

Hunter Vargas

Hi @Elizaveta Bogdanova, wanted to check in to see if there were any updates here. Thanks!

Honestly, this widget seems pretty useless without the ability to filter out tasks assigned to you. Is anyone actually using it?

This goes back to a feature I requested long ago: exclusions as filters.

Our current workaround for maintaining visibility into followed tasks is by starring them manually.

Cansu Yetisgin

Thanks, @Anna Wallace for sharing your feedback and the workaround you use. I've passed on your feedback, and I'll be sure to let you know here if there are any updates in relation to this suggestion.

Rob Pollock

I am another that would that would love to see this added as a filter option.

Dashboard widget does not provide enough filter options when review large numbers of tasks.

Its been suggested since 2017, would be nice to finally see some action on this one.
