Automatic to-do lists

[Sinead O'Connor]

Hi there, is there a way for Trello to automatically pull out items by due dates to automatically create daily to-do lists? i.e. a list of all due items in a day

Hi Sinead! When you say "pull out items" are you referencing check-items? Or are you just wanting to see a list of cards organized by due date? Are you just wanting to see ALL cards, or just the ones where you're added as a member? Are these cards across multiple boards, or just in one board? Sorry - lots of questions, but there are a few different solutions depending on your needs :)

Hey Hannah, thanks a million for coming back to me. I'm looking for a pull-out of check-items and due cards - is that possible?

At the moment, there's not really an easy way to organize all your assigned cards and check-items in one place (this would be a really valuable feature to have though!). There are a few options that might work for you:

1. You can use the "my cards" section of Trello to see all your assigned cards across all boards and sort them by due date. This won't show your check-items, but you can see your items in the "Home" page of Trello under "Your Items" which is sorted by due date.

2. Use the calendar view (or calendar power-up) to see monthly/weekly/daily views of all items with a due date (both cards and check-items). You can filter the board to see only your items if you need.

3. Use a reporting tool like Blue Cat Reports to pull a list of check-items/cards and sort it by due date. You can report on all cards, or filter the report to only see your assigned items.

Hope that helps!
