My View (Beta)

How to utilize this preset view designed to display projects & people most relevant to a user's role and responsibilities

Updated today

This feature is currently available for Professional, Premium and Enterprise plans.

If you wish to give this a try but are on a legacy plan, contact your CSM or email success @runn.io for more details.

My View is a preset View tailored to show projects and people that are most relevant to Contributors with Planner access and Restricted Managers (Team Managers) who only need to regularly view the projects or people they manage.

Admin users will not see My Views as Admins can manage all Projects and People.

Key Benefits of My View

  • Automatic Filtering: Predefined filters for Contributors with Planner access and Team Managers that allow the user to focus on their relevant people and projects.

  • Simplified Access: Allow users to quickly and easily access key information without the need for manual filtering, streamlining your team's workflow.

  • Enhanced Usability: Experience a focused view that updates dynamically.

🚨 My View is not a permission-based feature; it does not modify any existing access permissions. My View is a filtering feature for better visibility.

Please note that users can still access some project and people data outside of 'My View' through split screens and dashboards.

No Manual Setup Required

Admins are not required to manually assign access to users for My View as it is a preset view based on the user's permission settings.

Note that only Contributors with Planner access and Managers (Project Access = Restricted/ View-only; People Access = Restricted/ View-only) can see a filtered list of My View.

Please update users' permission levels if you wish them to only see projects/people relevant to them under My View.

Pro Tip: My Managed Project Filter

If you want to isolate the projects that you manage, you can click on Filter > My Managed Projects:

Switch to other Views when Finding a Person to fulfill Placeholders

When My View is selected, the user will only see the people they managed who meet the criteria listed on the Placeholder/ Resourcing Request.

The user needs to switch to other views if they want to see other resources that they don't manage.

People

The user will see:

  • Their managed people (project schedules and time offs)

  • All placeholders assigned to projects that are visible on the Project Planner

  • All people assigned to their Managed Projects

  • Their own personal information, project schedules and time off (if the user is also a resource)

πŸ™ˆ Other people will not be visible under My View by default. Users can still access this information outside of My View.

Pro Tip: My Managed People Filter

If you want to isolate the people that you manage, you can click on Filter > My Managed People:

Charts

When My View is applied, the results of the Chart are based on all the people and placeholders visible on the People Planner. The Charts do NOT reflect just the workload of the user.

Please click on Filter People under Charts to apply relevant filters and narrow down the results further.

My View for Other User Types

  • Admin users do not have access to My View as they have access to all people and projects by default.

  • Manager users with Manage Projects set as 'All' will see all projects on the Project Planner, and people assigned to all projects on the People Planner.

  • For Manager users who can assign all people in the account to managed projects, they can see all people in the account under My Views.

  • Manager users with Manage People set as 'All' will see all people on the People Planner, and projects that all people are assigned to on the Project Planner under My View.

  • Contributor users with no View Planner access will not see My View.

Reports & Restrictions

  • Users cannot create saved reports using the My View filter.

  • Users will need to switch to other Views to see Saved Reports.
