Widgets make it even easier to access your tasks from your mobile app. For the queues you're in a lot, or for those high priority tasks you don't want to lose track of. They're a great option if you have multiple default queues or for creating a dashboard of your tasks right on your phone!
Home screen widgets
On devices running iOS 14+ you can add widgets to your home screen for quick access to your tasks.
To add a widget long-press on your home screen and tap the Edit button at the top left of the screen. Then select Add Widget from the dropdown.
Choose GQueues from the list of options.
Choose the desired widget type and size from the 4 different options and tap Add Widget.
To choose the queue to display tap on the widget. Or if you come back to edit it later, long press on the widget and choose Edit Widget.
You can choose from My Queues, Team Queues, Smart Queues, Tags, Inbox or Assignments. If you have multiple accounts, you can choose which account the widget should display from.
Choose the specific queue to display.
❗️Please Note: Saved Searches are not available to display in widgets, so they are not shown as options under Smart Queues.
You can add multiple widgets to your home screen making it easy to create a "dashboard" of tasks.
Widget refreshing
iOS controls the exact timing when widgets can refresh. A widget is given a "budget" each day that determines the number of times its display can be refreshed, presumably to help with battery life.
Below outlines when the GQueues widgets will refresh:
Widgets should refresh on their own once an hour at minimum.
Changes you make to tasks with the app open should be reflected in the widgets immediately.
If you make changes to tasks on the web, those will get synced to your phone in the background, but those changes may not appear in the widgets immediately, as they are subject to iOS's algorithm and the budget given to the widget.
