# GitLab ToDos
|
|
|
|
>**Note:** This feature was [introduced][ce-2817] in GitLab 8.5.
|
|
|
|
When you log into GitLab, you normally want to see where you should spend your
|
|
time and take some action, or what you need to keep an eye on. All without the
|
|
mess of a huge pile of e-mail notifications. GitLab is where you do your work,
|
|
so being able to get started quickly is very important.
|
|
|
|
Todos is a chronological list of to-dos that are waiting for your input, all
|
|
in a simple dashboard.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
You can access quickly your Todos dashboard by clicking the round gray icon
|
|
next to the search bar in the upper right corner.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## What triggers a Todo
|
|
|
|
A Todo appears in your Todos dashboard when:
|
|
|
|
- an issue or merge request is assigned to you
|
|
- you are `@mentioned` in an issue or merge request, be it the description of
|
|
the issue/merge request or in a comment
|
|
|
|
>**Note:** Commenting on a commit will _not_ trigger a Todo.
|
|
|
|
## How a Todo is marked as Done
|
|
|
|
Any action to the corresponding issue or merge request will mark your Todo as
|
|
**Done**. This action can include:
|
|
|
|
- changing the assignee
|
|
- changing the milestone
|
|
- adding/removing a label
|
|
- commenting on the issue
|
|
|
|
In case where you think no action is needed, you can manually mark the todo as
|
|
done by clicking the corresponding **Done** button, and it will disappear from
|
|
your Todos list. If you want to mark all your Todos as done, just click on the
|
|
**Mark all as done** button.
|
|
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
In order for a Todo to be marked as done, the action must be coming from you.
|
|
So, if you close the related issue or merge the merge request yourself, and you
|
|
had a Todo for that, it will automatically get marked as done. On the other
|
|
hand, if someone else closes, merges or takes action on the issue or merge
|
|
request, your Todo will remain pending. This makes sense because you may need
|
|
to give attention to an issue even if it has been resolved.
|
|
|
|
There is just one Todo per issue or merge request, so mentioning a user a
|
|
hundred times in an issue will only trigger one Todo.
|
|
|
|
## Filtering your Todos
|
|
|
|
In general, there are four kinds of filters you can use on your Todos
|
|
dashboard:
|
|
|
|
| Filter | Description |
|
|
| ------ | ----------- |
|
|
| Project | Filter by project |
|
|
| Author | Filter by the author that triggered the Todo |
|
|
| Type | Filter by issue or merge request |
|
|
| Action | Filter by the action that triggered the Todo (Assigned or Mentioned)|
|
|
|
|
You can choose more than one filters at the same time.
