Projects & Favorites
The project list displays all projects for which an invitation has been sent. This view provides direct access to the project content. Projects can be pinned so that they appear at the top of the list.
The filter is used to restrict the project list to projects based on their project location, which can be defined in Project settings.
The options control the display, sorting, and navigation (direct link to the project).
Under "Favorites," documents and folders that have been saved as favorites are displayed for each project. For more information about favorites, see the article Favorites.

Tasks
The task overview displays the Tasks and Journal Entries from all projects in which you are listed as the person responsible or a participant. In addition, project-independent Personal tasks are displayed. All open tasks are displayed regardless of their due date. Completed tasks, however, are only included in the list for 7 days after their completion date. You can use the search function to look for a specific task name directly in the task list. The filter allows you to filter by due date, involvement, and project. Using the options, you can expand or collapse the view to include or exclude tasks for collaboration. You can also switch between the list view and the Personal task board view.
For more information about the tasks, see the following article: Creating Tasks.

Appointments
The schedule overview displays all cross-project meetings in which a user is listed as a participant in one location. This makes it easier to perform planning and track past and upcoming appointments.
For more information about the meetings, see the following articles: Meetings & Protocols.

Personal Progress
The "Personal Progress" section displays the status of all tasks. When you open "Personal Progress," the Personal Task Board is automatically displayed.
The color code in the illustration has the following meaning:
- Dunkelrot: Overdue tasks (due date in the past) for which you are responsible
- Hellrot: Overdue tasks in which you are involved
- Grün: Recently completed tasks (completed within the last 7 days)
- Dunkelgrau: Upcoming tasks (due within the next 2 weeks) for which you are responsible
- Grau: Upcoming tasks (due within the next 2 weeks) in which you are involved
The number displayed is based on priority: If there are overdue tasks, their number is shown. If there are no overdue tasks, the number of upcoming tasks is shown instead. If there are neither overdue nor upcoming tasks, the number of recently completed tasks is shown. The number itself is calculated based on the sum of the tasks for which you are responsible and the tasks for which you are listed as a collaborator. For upcoming tasks, the time frame is intentionally limited to the next two weeks so that the metric provides a meaningful short-term overview.

News Articles
News posts can be used to keep all project participants informed about current topics, progress, or changes. These posts serve as a central communication channel and promote transparency within the project team. You can find information about news posts in the following article: News Articles.

Customizing the Home Page
The "Customize Home Page" option allows you to add additional widgets and links to the home page. You can move and rearrange the widgets using drag-and-drop. The "+" icon controls the display of additional content, such as project status, webcams, or external content. Project status uses the same logic as personal progress (see section Personal Growth), but at the project level. This takes into account all tasks for which the user has view permissions within the respective project. Depending on the type, external content can be displayed directly in the preview or opened in a browser via a link.
In the following example, a project status is integrated into the home along with a Power BI project analysis. The following article describes how to create a Power BI report: Project Analysis with Power BI.
