In the new interface you can't see all the task that you have in your roles, like you could do in the old web app

Are you talking about all your tasks across all schedule and board, or just HITs?
When would you need this view?
I'm not sure I understand. Somehow, we're just not on the same page with this. My preference would be to see tasks segmented out in separate lists by Role. It's less cluttered. It makes it easier for me to consider the most important tasks for that Role.
Do you want to see only your HITs per role, or all tasks per role?
If all tasks, when would you use this view?
All the time, I guess. Simply because it's the way I like to, and am used to, seeing the information.
Hi rjlee,
Why do you say the new layout goes against Covey?
From my point of view it goes even more into Covey's philosophy.
- By having the Plan of the Week on the side, it is always visible. Having it under the schedule meant that you could lose it under the fold
- The Plan of the Week is still about roles and their important tasks. When you don't have a task for a specific role in the Plan of the Week, the tool will prompt you to add one by showing a dedicated textbox.
- The Plan of the Week tracks what the important stuff you want to accomplish this week, like Put First Things First.
Many people complaining about the new layout are misusing the roles list, because they are using them like a backlog of tasks grouped by role. If you want to do this, you can, but do it in a board.
I think you misunderstand how people like myself use the app. I like to see my roles at the bottom and the goals/tasks I've set up under each role. From each role, having reviewed the list, I then prioritise and schedule for the upcoming week (or month) depending on urgency/importance. Unless it returns to what it was, I'm afraid you've lost me. From my perspective, you've fixed something that actually was not broken and in the process have eliminated one of the key features/benefits I really liked compared to other productivity apps. Consequently I've canceled my sub and migrated to Trello.

That's exactly how I use the app as well.
It was much more intuitive before.
At the start of each week I like to look through each role and decide what my HITs for that week should be. It is now much more laborsome to consider each role individually simply because there is no place where all the roles are listed out in a way I can easily add, remove, or rearrange tasks for each role.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Could be a learning curve that we are struggling with. I don't mind scrolling, and I have a large monitor. :)
This may be a better design. But I do feel it's less intuitive. To me, it makes more sense to easily see the tasks listed under specific roles and then move them up into the weekly schedule.
yes. In the iPad you have task listed in each role. It culis be a good solution. Otherwise it was better to have this liste bellow and not at left

Even the drag and dropping seems a lot easier with the list on the left rather than under.
under it's much better

because in this way you have a view of all your roles and the task you have In each one. At the beginning of the week you have a panoramic view of what you have to do and then you put each tasks in the best day for it. Even though if during the week you have to make a change you can swipe back the task to the role and decide what to do with the task, many pas to next week or put it in the. Pending board. ( you can’t do it any more.)
That what I bought the app. Just 10 days ago.
True. I think many of us would just like to see a place where our tasks our segmented by Role in separate lists. When I first opened this week I though something was wrong with my browser. I kept trying to scroll down. I really thought it was a bug or a browser problem. I couldn't believe that I could not longer see tasks listed out by Roles.
Do you want to see only your HITs per role, or all tasks per role?
If all tasks, when would you use this view?
