Account Map

Select Map in the main navigation. The Account Map covers the projects you own. Projects you’re a member of but don’t own aren’t on it.

The map has three columns:

• Projects: projects that have chats, tasks or workspaces on the map. Projects with nothing on it are hidden behind Show quiet projects.
• Chats and tasks: each piece of work once. A task and its chat share one row. The icon shows its state: working, needs you, idle, asleep, failed or done. A row also shows the ideas the chat works on, and the task’s pull request when it has one.
• Machines: your nodes and the workspaces running on each one. Workspaces without a node, such as Instant workspaces, are grouped under No machine. Workspaces whose node isn’t on the map (stopped, deleted, or past the map’s limit) are grouped under Machine not listed.

Lines join each project to its chats and tasks, and each chat or task to the workspace it runs in. Amber lines lead to work that needs you, red lines to failed work, and green lines to work in progress.

Follow a chat

Select any row to light up its chain and set everything else back. The bar under the page title spells the chain out: project, idea, chat or task, workspace, machine and pull request. Parts that have a page link to it: the project, the idea, the chat, the machine and the pull request. When the map opens, it selects the first chat that is waiting on you.

Selecting a machine lights every chat running on it, and their projects. Selecting a project lights all of its work and the machines it runs on. Select the same row again to clear the selection.

On a phone or tablet, chats and tasks are grouped by project. Tap one to see its chain below it. Machines follow in their own section.

Filter and search

• Everything, Needs you and Live narrow the chats and tasks. Needs you shows chats waiting for your answer and failed work. Live shows work that is running or waiting on you.
• Search matches chat and task titles, project names, ideas, branches and machine names. Projects and machines that match by name show even when nothing runs on them.
• Show finished adds finished and failed chats and tasks, and stopped machines. Hide finished goes back to active work, which includes sleeping chats.

The map refreshes about once a minute while it’s open.

The map shows recent work first and loads a limited amount at a time. When it leaves something out, a notice says so, for example how many recent projects and ideas it checked for links, or that some data couldn’t be loaded. Open the project or idea page for its full history.
