Inbox Sections let you organize your Assignments into custom groups for prioritization and focus. Sections are personal to your Account—they only affect your view and have no effect on other Users' view of the same Assignments.

Create a Section

  1. Select Add Section from the Section (horizontal bars icon) menu in the Assignment List header or press the + Add Section button below the last Section group in the Assignment List.
  2. Enter a name for the Section in the inline text input that appears.
  3. Press Enter or click outside the text input to confirm.

The new Section appears as a group header after your existing Sections. To cancel, press Escape.

Rename a Section

You can rename a Section using either of these methods:

  • Press the vertical ellipsis menu button on the Section group header and select Rename.
  • Double-click the Section group header text.

The Section name becomes an editable inline text input. Edit the name (up to 55 characters) and press Enter or click outside to confirm. Press Escape to cancel.

Reorder Sections

You can change the order of your Sections using either of these methods:

  • Menu: Press the vertical ellipsis menu button on a Section group header and select Move Up or Move Down.
  • Drag and Drop: Drag a Section group header and drop it onto another Section group header to reposition it.

All Assignments within a Section move with the Section when it is reordered.

Move an Assignment to a Section

  1. Right-click an Assignment row to display the context menu.
  2. Select Move to Section to display the submenu.
  3. Select the target Section name, or select Unsectioned to remove the Assignment from its current Section.

The Assignment's current Section is disabled in the submenu. The Move to Section submenu only appears when you have at least one Section defined.

You can also drag an Assignment row and drop it onto a Section group header to move it.

Collapse and Expand Sections

Press the disclosure toggle on a Section group header to collapse or expand it. Collapsed Sections hide their Assignment rows. The collapsed state persists when you navigate away and return to the Assignment Inbox.

The Unsectioned group can also be collapsed and expanded.

Remove a Section

  1. Press the vertical ellipsis menu button on the Section group header.
  2. Select Remove.
  3. A confirmation dialog appears. If the Section contains Assignments, the dialog indicates how many Assignments will become Unsectioned.
  4. Press Remove to confirm, or Cancel to dismiss.

Removing a Section does not delete any Assignments. Assignments in the removed Section become Unsectioned.
