Intro to Me Mode and the assignee sidebar

ClickUp views will always show tasks assigned to all Workspace users by default. But with the assignee sidebar, you can select exactly whose tasks are shown in your current view or Me Mode to only show you the tasks that you're responsible for.

What you'll need

  • The assignee sidebar and Me Mode are only available on Workspaces with more than one person. 
  • The assignee sidebar and Me Mode are available on every plan!
  • Guests cannot see tasks assigned to other users when using the assignee sidebar.
  • The assignee sidebar and Me Mode cannot be used on the following views:

Filter for your tasks and action items

You can quickly see tasks that are assigned to you, or that need your attention, including subtasks, assigned comments, and checklist items.

This setting is applied to every view in your Workspace, but it won't change views for other people.

With this setting enabled, creating new tasks automatically assigns them to you.

To filter your tasks and action items:

  1. In the upper-right corner of a view, click on your avatar.
  2. Click each toggle to show or hide subtasks, comments, or checklist items assigned to you.
  3. Click the x on your avatar to turn off the filter.

Me Mode options

To customize what you see in Me Mode, you can select from the following Me mode options:

  • Comments: Tasks with comments that are assigned to you.
    • Me Mode will not show comments assigned to any teams that you are a part of.
  • Subtasks: Tasks with subtasks assigned to you.
  • Checklists: Tasks with checklist items that are assigned to you.

To select or deselect one of these options:

  • With Me mode enabled, from the Me mode modal select or deselect an option.

Default to Me Mode

You can also make Me Mode the default for individual views. Turning on Default to Me Mode updates the view for everyone.

To make Me Mode the default:

  1. From the upper-right corner of the view click Customize, then select More settings. 
  2. Click Default to Me Mode

Changing the Me Mode options on a view that defaults to Me Mode will prompt you to save your changes for everyone.

Use the assignee sidebar

The assignee sidebar allows you to see the assigned tasks of anyone in the Workspace or many different users at once.
