How to Create and Use Private To-Dos in Ninety

A private To-Do is a task to complete that doesn't correspond to any of your teams. The team doesn't need to track its progress or discuss it in meetings. These can be things for day-to-day work or reminders for personal tasks.

Private To-Dos appear on both your My 90 workspace and the To-Dos page.

Creating a private To-Do

Whenever you create a To-Do, you can choose to make it a Private To-Do instead by clicking the Private toggle on. Add a task to your Private To-Do using:

  • The Create button.

  • The private To-Dos widget from the My 90 workspace.

  • The private To-Dos page in the To-Dos tool.

  • Linked items by creating a private To-Do from an existing item.

To move a private To-Do to a team's To-Dos list, click the Private toggle off and select a team from the dropdown.
