Every project in Workly has an Overview tab that provides a summary dashboard of your project’s status. It gives project leads a quick snapshot without needing to scroll through individual tasks.

Click the Overview tab at the top of any project. The overview displays several cards with key metrics and information.
Overview cards
Task statistics
