Overview

Task Widget is a tasks panel that travels with you across Positions Home and the Pipeline page. It gathers what's waiting on you—positions running long, applicants to screen, interviews awaiting a reply, feedback still outstanding, candidate replies unread—into tabs with a count on each. Select any row and Eightfold opens the right screen with the right filter already applied.

Why it matters

• One panel replaces a round of checking the screening dashboard, the scheduling view, the feedback list, and the inbox in turn.
• Each row is a link into the filtered view, so you land on the exact set of positions, applicants, or interviews the count refers to.
• A tab that's clear says so, so you can stop checking it and move on.

How it works

1. Open Positions Home or the Pipeline page. Select the Open My Tasks icon to expand the panel—its header reads My Tasks.
2. Scan the tabs along the top of the panel. Each tab covers one kind of work and carries the number of items waiting in it.
3. Select a tab to see what's in it. Each row carries its own count and label—for example Days Open and Positions with too few leads for position work, Declined, Pending, Pending Interviewer Confirmation, and Reschedule Requested for interview invitations, My Pending Feedbacks and My Pending Requests for feedback, and Response from Candidates for unread candidate replies.
4. Select a row and Eightfold opens the matching screen with that filter already applied—a filtered position list, the screening dashboard, the scheduling view, the feedback list, or the message inbox—and you work the items there.
5. Come back to the panel and check the count. A cleared tab reads Nicely done! Tasks here are completed.
6. Select Close my tasks to collapse the panel. It stays available on both pages as you move between them.

FAQs

Q: Why don't I see the My Tasks panel?

A: Either it isn't turned on for the page you're on, or you have no outstanding work in any tab available to you. It hides itself rather than showing an empty panel. If a teammate sees it and you don't, ask your Eightfold administrator to check your role.

Q: Why does my panel have different tabs than my teammate's?

A: Tabs are filtered by role and by what you have access to. A coordinator sees interview-scheduling work; a hiring manager sees feedback. You're both looking at the same panel, filtered to your own work.

Q: Why do the tab names here differ from what I've seen elsewhere?

A: Your administrator names each tab, so the wording follows your organization's language rather than a fixed Eightfold label. What each tab counts stays the same.

Q: A count looks wrong—what should I check?

A: Reload the page first, since counts are fetched when the page loads. If it still looks off, open the row to see the underlying list: the tabs count recent work within a defined window, so older items appear in the full dashboard rather than here.

Q: The panel disappeared when I switched to the AI recruiting experience. Is it gone?

A: No. It's hidden while that mode is active and comes back when you exit. Nothing about your setup changes.
