Summary

ClickApps are features you switch on per Space, such as priorities, time tracking, tags and dependency warnings. Enabling only the ones your team uses keeps tasks uncluttered, and you manage them from the Space settings.

Step-by-step guide

  1. Step 1

    Open the Space menu

    Hover your Space in the sidebar and click the three-dot (...) button on its row. A menu opens with options for the Space, including Rename, Tags and More.

  2. Step 2

    Open More

    Point at More in the Space menu. A submenu opens beside it. Move the cursor straight across so the submenu stays open.

  3. Step 3

    Open the Space settings

    In the submenu, click All Space settings. The Edit Space settings dialog opens with the Space name, owner and default permission.

  4. Step 4

    Open ClickApps

    Scroll to the ClickApps row, below Default views and Task statuses, and click it. The row lists the apps that are already on for this Space.

  5. Step 5

    Show all ClickApps

    The Enable ClickApps screen lists Priority, Sprints, Email, Tags and more. Click Show more under the grid to reveal the rest, such as Sprint Points and Dependency Warning.

  6. Step 6

    Turn on a ClickApp

    Click the ClickApp you want, for example Dependency Warning. A ClickApp that is off looks faded, and it gets a dark outline once it is on.

  7. Step 7

    Confirm your ClickApps

    Click Done to return to the Edit Space settings dialog, then click Save changes. The ClickApp now applies to that Space.

Why this matters

You set up a new Space for your team and tasks are missing a feature you need, such as a warning when a dependency is blocked. Turning on the right ClickApp adds it to that Space in a minute, without touching other Spaces.

Frequently asked questions

  • Do ClickApps apply to the whole workspace?

    These steps change the settings of one Space. Open the Space menu on another Space to review its ClickApps.

  • Can I turn a ClickApp off again?

    Yes. Open the same ClickApps screen and click an app that is on; it fades to show it is off. Then click Done and Save changes.
