Today View

Show only today's tasks, events, and this week's objectives in a simplified view.

Focus on just the things you need to do today once you have planned your day.

How to use

Entering today view

Today view is where Sunsama opens by default. You can also get there with the keyboard shortcut T or the “Today” item at the top of the left hand navigation panel. To open somewhere else, change Default view in your account settings.

The right hand panel always shows, with your calendar, integrations, weekly objectives, backlog, archive, and search.

This week’s objectives

To the left of your task list, Today view shows “This week’s objectives” for the week of the day in view. Objectives with no tasks on that day are dimmed, and hovering a task highlights the objective it’s aligned with. Click an objective to open it, drag it up or down to reorder it, drag it into your task list or onto your calendar to plan a task for it, or click “Add objective” to create one. You can also open the week’s objectives in the right hand panel with the purple bullseye icon, or Shift+R. The column is hidden on windows narrower than 1024px. See Weekly Objectives for more.

You can perform any action in this view that you can in the board view. Filter by channel or context using the “Filter” button or the Shift F shortcut.

Selecting a day

You are not confined to just today’s task list in Today view. Use the ‹ and › arrows beside the date, the date picker, or keyboard shortcuts like Shift -> to navigate to other days.

To return to today, click Back to today next to the date or use Shift Spacebar.

Best practices

  • Once your day is planned, this is the view you should have open for most of the day.
