Your Home page is the launchpad for your Atono experience. From here, you can invite users, create teams, connect to Slack, and keep an eye on the items assigned to you. You can also customize your Home page with widgets that surface views of stories and bugs from across your workspace.

Manage widgets

Your Home page includes built-in widgets that give you quick access to important backlog items. You can also add widgets for any saved or shared view from the Everything page.

Each widget shows a list of items with their:

• Item ID
• Title
• Workflow step icon (colored circle)
• Staleness indicator (if the item is stalled in its current step)

Hover over an item to see additional details:

• Risk rating (for bugs)
• Assignee
• Team
• Workflow step name
• Timebox
• Product theme (for stories)

Click View items to open the full view on the Everything page.

Assigned to me

The Assigned to me widget shows all backlog items currently assigned to you. It appears on your Home page by default, and you can move or remove it like any other widget.

Following

The Following widget shows the backlog items you’re following. It uses a preset filter so you can access these items quickly. For more details, see Follow a story or Follow a bug.

Add a widget

1. Hover over an empty space on the Home page.
2. Click + Add widget when it appears.
3. Select the view you want to display.

Remove a widget

1. Click the ellipsis (...) icon in the widget’s header.
2. Select Remove.
3. In the Remove widget dialog, conform by clicking Remove widget. This removes it from your Home page—it doesn’t delete the view.

Rearrange widgets

You can rearrange widgets by clicking and dragging them into a new position. This can be helpful if you want to keep certain views visible without scrolling, or to group related widgets together in a way that makes sense for your workflow.

To move a widget, click and drag it to a new position on the Home page. The other widgets will adjust.
