What Is a Private To-Do?

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 private tasks like, “Do the laundry.”

Private To-Dos show up on both the My 90 page and To-Dos page. The My 90 page allows you to decide which widgets are displayed; so if you don't see Private To-Dos, check your settings. See the My 90 article for more information. 

Creating a Private To-Do

Creating a private to-do works the same as creating any other item in Ninety, by clicking the CREATE button. 

  1. Click CREATE
  2.  Name the To-Do
  3.  (optional) Add a description
  4.  Toggle on to Private
  5.  Determine if you want the To-Do to Repeat
  6.  (optional) add attachments
  7. Click Create To-Do

You can also add a private to-do from the To-Dos page, under the Private tab and clicking Add To-Do.

Viewing Completed Private To-Dos

Private To-Dos cannot be archived, but you can still see all your completed To-Dos within the To-Dos page.

  1.  Click To-Dos from the main navigation
  2.  Choose the Private tab 
  3.  Toggle on Complete To-Dos

Going from Private to Team

If at any point you decide your private to-do needs to be tracked by a team, you can always change it to a Rock, Issue, Headline, or To-Do by clicking the more options on the Private To-Do.
