Customize Your Daily To-Do
It would be ideal if your daily to-do could either show all tasks assigned by you OR have the option to get a daily to-do email that just has your tasks assigned TO you. My daily to-do used to be helpful but after our office manager left, I had to change some of the to-dos. Now I have 80 to-dos instead of 15-20 and it's no longer helpful for me.
Hi Christine, thank you for posting here! I just wanted to quickly clarify something. Currently, the Daily To-do has two categories:
Would you like for there to be an option to remove one of these sections, and keep the other? Let me know if there's something I missed! Alternatively, I wanted to suggest giving Custom Dashboard Widgets a go - they're fully customizable and you can choose to view only the tasks you're interested in seeing at the start of the day by adjusting and saving a certain set of filters. Happy to answer any other questions about this!

In regards to the Daily To Do email that Wrike sends out, would it be possible for you to add the folder/project and parent task if it's subtask? Currently, the email only includes the task name. Often, I don't include the context of the task in the task name because I get this from the parent folder/project and/or parent task when using Wrike. If it's a subtask, I would like to see both the parent task and folder/project list Wrike does.
Currently, I can't tell what the task in the email is related to.
Thanks,
Keith
Hi Keith, thank you for taking the time to post this suggestion on the Community, I really appreciate it! :)
I completely agree that the daily to-do is not very useful in it's current configuration. I would like to be able to customize it further. Even be able to create several types of notifications if I had the need.
I see this is an older thread, however I've had requests by Collaborators to organize the Daily To-Do email by Project. They are on multiple projects with similar tasks and similar subfolders (which is all that is visible in the Daily To-Do) -- so they are confused as to which task belongs to which project.
I agree with all of these. I need to see the parent folder name in my daily email so I know without having to click on it which task it's referring to. Customizable notifications would be wonderful! I don't want to have to keep Wrike open just to see my task list, plus I can set follow up (pop-up) reminders on the email notification but don't think I can do that in Wrike other than changing the due date.
I agree. It would helpful to see a related task to which a sub-task is attached in the daily to do email. Many sub-tasks have similar or generic names that are best understood by knowing the task to which they relate.
I have the same request from my team (generic naming) based on the feedback here I wanted to ask if this has this been added to the roadmap?
The parent task would be extremely helpful since we don't always include a ton of detail in the subtasks.
For example:
Parent task: CTAA Tradeshow
Subtask: Prepare list
The subtask needs the context of the parent task to make sense.
Agree on this as well. There should also be an option to include a list of Projects as well if you want to make this truly functional, otherwise pretty useless feature for teams that traffic workflow based on Projects & not really on assigned tasks. Our team would then just use Dashboards as we currently do. Same can be said for the "Created by me" section as well. Currently Wrike seems centered around management of TASKS rather than at the PROJECTS level, expanding that functionality across the platform to allow for workflow to be trafficked more efficiently at the PROJECTS level would make it so much more functional & user friendly for many teams like ours!
Hi everyone! Thanks for all of your feedback. I don't have an update for you at the moment, but as soon as I do, I'll let you know 😊
Hi there,
Any update to this discussion?
We would benefit tremendously from allowing Parent folder name to be included in the Daily to do tasks. To have this as a standard to all tasks this or at least the functionality to customise the Daily To Do would make our lives much easier! Thanks
Hi Johanna Bredberg, thank you for reaching out! Although there aren't plans currently to make improvements to the daily to-do emails, it's possible to see the parent folders/projects in My to-do smart folder that's located in your personal space:
Please let me know if that helps!
