My Work

My Work is a dashboard that provides a user with an overview of open items, where they are responsible for those items. Items are automatically collected for the currently supported types, Change Request, Requirement, Review, Story, Task and displayed in a single place for a maximum of five views that a user may register. Items can then be filtered based on project, view, type, folder, status, date created or date edited or a combination of these.

To open My Work, in the StarTeam Cross-Platform Client, click the Show My Work button on the toolbar.
