How to Filter, Sort, and Customize My Work in zipBoard

How to Customize My Work Workspace in zipBoard

Step 1: Switch Between Light Mode and Dark Mode

1. Navigate to the top right corner 
2. Select between Light Mode and Dark Mode to match your preferred viewing environment or reduce eye strain during late-night reviews. 

Step 2: Apply Sorting Parameters

• Click the sort dropdown menu to reorder your workspace assets by chronological deadlines or metadata metrics.
• Choose from Upload Date, Due Date, and Asset Number to prioritize urgent or recently updated project files.

Step 3: Combine Search and Multi-Parameter Filters

1. Use the global search bar to enter precise keywords or file names.
2. Layer project-level filter chips alongside specific asset formats (such as images, videos, documents, or prototypes) and review statuses (Approved, In Progress, Rejected).
3. Stack these filters together to eliminate irrelevant files and narrow down massive asset libraries instantly.

Resetting Your Filter

You can easily reset the filters that you enabled by clicking the "Clear" button. Your boards will automatically revert to the original state.

Automated Version Control in My Work Section

If you reviewed v1 and v2 is uploaded, your v1 approval no longer counts; the asset automatically moves back into "Needs my review" against v2, and simultaneously appears in "New version since you reviewed."

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What sorting options are available for organizing assets?

You can sort your assets and review items by Upload date, Due Date, and Asset Name

Can I combine keyword searches with status and project filters?

Yes. You can combine a text search with project name, asset types, and review status tags to achieve ultra-precise results across your cross-project asset library.

Why aren't my filtered results showing certain files?

Filtered views respect query-time inherited permissions. You will only see filtered assets and files from projects and accounts that you are explicitly authorized to access.

Why is the same asset appearing in multiple sections under "My Work"?

An asset can appear in more than one My Work section simultaneously, for example, it can show up in both "Needs my review" and "Due soon & overdue" at the same time.

Can I customize the order of sections, and will my changes save if I clear my cache?

You can use personalization to drag-and-drop sections to reorder your view. This layout preference is saved directly to your user profile and survives a cache clear.

How do I locate a file's location while reviewing it?

You can click the "Find this file in the project" link directly from inside any active review interface to jump straight to its location.
