Viewing Your Work
While you can view your work on individual projects, the Work pod allows you to view all of your work throughout Accolade in one, central location. The pod displays information as it relates to your work in a card format and allows you to take many actions without navigating to a different page. The Work pod can be found in a number of different places, including:
- The All My Work page, accessible from the Workspace menu. This page has two Work pods that are configured to display Projects where you are a team member, and Deliverables and Activities that are assigned to you.
- The Upcoming Gates pages, accessible from the Workspace menu. The pod on this page is configured to display gates in projects you are a part of so you can see upcoming gate meeting dates and related details. This is accessible to users with the Gate Manager, Executive, or Process Manager roles.
- The Comprehensive and Focused home page layouts.
- The Work pod can also configured to display on a project page by an Administrator or Process Designer where it will only display information related to that project.
Depending on your system configuration, the location of the Work pod may vary. The pages listed above can be renamed or may not exist.
Regardless of where it's accessed from, you are able to control the data the pod displays. To do this, click 
at the top right corner of the Work pod to open the Content Settings dialog and change the value in the View field. To show only your work, check the Show only my work box.
