Once you have added the Objective Activity Widget to your homepage, follow the instructions below to easily manage your Objectives.

The widget automatically displays the first three Objectives in the list. Be sure to click on Show More at the bottom of the widget to see any other Objectives listed.

Add an Objective

Click the Green + button at the top right of the widget.
Select the type of Objective you wish to add.

Enter your Title, Description and other desired Objective information.

NOTE: For more detailed instructions about creating a new Objective, read this article.

Save your new Objective.

Add Tasks to an Objective

Enter your task title in the Add Task field for an Objective.
Click Enter or the Green + button to add your task to the Objective.

To edit the task's details, such as setting a due date, click the ... Ellipsis button on the task and then select Edit.

NOTE: To delete a task, click the ... Ellipsis button on the task and then select Delete.

Optional: Add a Priority: High, Normal or Low to Prioritize your Tasks

NOTE: Only tasks created this week, tasks due this week, and overdue tasks will display on the Objective Activity Widget. If a task is NOT due this week and the task was created last week, the task will NOT appear on the Objective Activity Widget.

Widget Settings

Customize how tasks display on the Objective Activity Widget by clicking the Settings button at the top right of the widget. This replaces the previous task priority filter dropdown.

Objective Activity settings

Clicking the settings button opens a side panel with the following options:

Sort By

Priority (default): Tasks are sorted by priority level, with high-priority tasks at the top.
Due Date Ascending: Tasks are sorted from earliest due date to latest.
Due Date Descending: Tasks are sorted from latest due date to earliest.
Alphabetical: Tasks are sorted alphabetically by title.

Task Priority

All Tasks (default): Shows all tasks regardless of priority.
High Priority Tasks: Shows only high-priority tasks (marked with a red ! indicator).

Display Due Date

Toggle this setting on to show due dates alongside each task in the widget. Default: off.

After setting your preferences, click Apply to update the widget. Click Cancel to close the settings panel without making changes.

Note: These are personal display preferences and only affect how your own Objective Activity Widget appears.

Check-In On Your Objective

1. Click the Check-In button for the Objective you wish to update.

2. Enter your status and update your progress.

3. Click Check-In to save and post.

Edit your Objective by clicking the Edit button and update your Objective as desired.
When you have finished making your updates, Save your Objective.

TIP: Objectives are displayed on the Objective Activity Widget in Priority order if a priority number has been included on the Objective, otherwise, they are displayed in alphabetical order.
