  • Publication number: 20240046213
    Abstract: Systems and methods to attribute automated actions within a collaboration environment are disclosed. Exemplary implementations may: manage environment state information maintaining a collaboration environment, the collaboration environment being configured to facilitate interaction by users with the collaboration environment, the environment state information including attribution information and automation records for automated actions to carry out in response to trigger events; detect occurrences of the trigger events; effectuate automated actions corresponding to detected occurrences of the trigger events; effectuate presentation of attribution labels for the effectuated ones of the automated actions; and/or perform other operations.

  • Publication number: 20240013153
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and storage media for providing a dashboard for a collaboration work management platform are disclosed. Exemplary implementations may: manage environment state information for maintaining a collaboration environment; obtain a first set of units of work where a first user is associated with first units of work within the first set but not assigned to the first units of work; and/or effectuate presentation of a dashboard displaying work information for the first units of work within the first set and indicating titles for the first units of work within the first set, statuses of the first units of work within the first set, and user information for the one or more other users assigned to the first units of work within the first set.

  • Publication number: 20230409818
    Abstract: A data model for managing custom fields for tasks in projects. The custom fields can be defined and shared across an organization, and are always unique. Each type of custom field is an object that is subclass of a generic object. Other objects define attributes of the custom fields and assign values to the attributes. The data model allows the custom fields to be preserved and managed across multiple projects and users.
